** Object capabilities (ocaps)
|

|

So far we've spoken
|

*** But really, what is the ocap paradigm, I'm confused
|
||||
|
||||
So far we've spoken of object capabilities only at a high level.
|
||||
Regrettably, I'm going to continue that for this subsection, but I
|
||||
promise to get into the implementation details in the next section.
|
||||
For the moment, I'm going to continue the high-level, long-spun
|
||||
ocap introductory narrative of ocaps as car keys.
|
||||
|
||||
We previously gave an example of object capabilities as being like a
|
||||
car key: possessing them is what gives you access, rather than who you
|
||||
are being what gives you access (the car doesn't need to scan your face;
|
||||
if you have the key, you can drive).
|
||||
Like a car key, you can also hand ocaps to other people and they can
|
||||
use them (delegation).
|
||||
|
||||
[... continue with valet and revocation car key metaphors here?]
