Abstract

We describe the design and implementation of secure network objects, which provide security for objectoriented network communication. The design takes advantage of objects and subtyping to present a simple but expressive programming interface for security, supporting both access control lists and capabilities. The implementation of this design fits nicely within the structure of the existing network objects system; we discuss its internal components, its performance, and its use an some applications.
