The semantics of ACLs have been proven to be insecure in many situations (eg, Confused Deputy Problem. It has also been shown that ACL's promise of giving access to an object to only one person can never be guaranteed in practice. Both of these problems are resolved by capabilities.

This is bullshit. Only ACLs without setuid or similar mechanism are vulnerable to Confused Deputy Problem. Setuid has been present on Unices for ages. --Taw

This looks like interesting reading [1]

In the aftermath of the Ark Wars (tm), I propose moving this page back to computer security, which I think is the more common term (etymological quibbling aside.) Opinions? -- CYD

disagree -- see the discussion on computer security - i would suggest creating new computer security page, which links here (with the same text as current page, no redirect) and also to computer insecurity. i'll think up a list of subject headings for the new page and post them on the computer security discussion page, along with any other feedback from anyone else. -- m3tainfo 21:47, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
