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.
