Capabilities provide an access control model that can be used to construct systems where safety of protection can be precisely determined. However, in order to be certain of the s...
One of the most difficult problems to be solved by metacomputing systems is to ensure strong authentication and authorization. The problem is complicated since the hosts involved ...
