They don't out of the box form an ocap system but there's nothing preventing you from making one with them. That's something I've been meaning to explore more in-depth.
Here's a good discussion on the differences between macaroons and capabilities: http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/cap-talk/2014-December/016333.html http://www.eros-os.org/pipermail/cap-talk/2014-December/0163... (see the "Macaroons: Capabilities vs Credentials).
- carapace 11y agoAwesome! Thanks. I've read the Macaroons research paper now and of course it mentions "prior work going back to the Amoeba OS" and they thank Mark Miller (among others) at the end, so yeah.. I feel a little sheepish. :-) This is very exciting stuff. Thank you for writing such a great article about it, I'm looking forward to reading more. And I have a copy of your pymacaroons source printed out to peruse. Cheers!
