Dear all:

This paper might be of interested to TrustedBSD-centric folk; it's on =
some new work we've been doing relating to capability-oriented security =
design in FreeBSD. There's a mailing list for Capsicum hosted at the =
University of Cambridge, which can be found via the Capsicum web site:

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/

Once we've done more iteration, improvement, review, etc, the goal is to =
merge the supporting kernel features into FreeBSD 9-CURRENT.

Thanks,

Robert Watson

in sandbox design. Following that, the hope is to do a longer design =

done on that yet.
