The split-capabilities method offers improved scalability and revocation of privileges in controlling access to resources. Early releases of Hewlett-Packard?s e-speak product used this method to secure the system from a variety of common attacks. Split capabilities have the advantages of traditional capabilities without their limitations. The basic idea is to divide the capability into two parts: a handle to the resource being accessed and a handle to a separate resource representing the access rights being requested. Although such separation of name from authority is potentially problematic, this system brings these two elements together in the resource?s computing infrastructure.
