I am interested in your paper because you define the problem as we do. There are some who think that capability architectures are the solution. There is little information on how to solve these problems with capabilities. I am trying to find time to address some of these issues.

I walked away from your presentation of KeyKOS with the impression that a capability system to be secure it would have to be implemented at the OS level. Can you build a such a system on top of an insecure OS, as Java would have to do?
