AB - The object-capability model is one of the industry standards adopted for the implementation of security policies for web-based software. Object-capabilities in various forms are supported by programming languages such as E, Joe-E, Newspeak, Grace, and the newer ver- sions of Javascript. Unfortunately, code written using capabilities tends to concentrate on the low-level mechanism rather than the high-level policy.In this position paper, we argue that current specification method- ologies cannot adequately capture all aspects of the capability poli- cies required to support object-capability systems. We outline inormally the features that such security policies should support, and we demonstrate (also informally) how we can reason that examples satisfy the capability policies.
