[cap-talk] Forgeable capabilities

[Pierre THIERRY]

I was wondering how forgeable capabilities are modeled in
object-capabilities frameworks. For example, if I have an object S that
has a grantAuthority(credential) method, where credential is a couple
(login, password), this couple constitutes a forgeable capability. If a
call to granAuthority with the adequate credential returns a capability
to an object T, is it possible to model authority to S in another way
than considering that authority to call S->grantAuthority is equivalent
to authority to call T? That is, to model authority to S less
conservatively.

Curiously,
Pierre
