Fwd: [capsicum] Capsicum USENIX Security 2010 paper now online

[Robert N. M. Watson]

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

> We greatly appreciate all the comments and suggestions we've had from the budding Capsicum user community and capability research communities, as well as from Steve Bellovin, who shepherded the paper. Likewise, we express appreciation to our research sponsors, and especially to Google for their support and contributions throughout the project.

> The next publication target is a short paper on file system containment that Jon and I will be giving at the Analysis of Security APIs workshop in a month, which looks at file system concurrency issues in sandbox design. Following that, the hope is to do a longer design patterns paper on application structure and decomposition, but not much done on that yet.
