About this document

Grasshopper OS: Capability-Based Protection by Ruchi Patel is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document describes the protection mechanism in Grasshopper, an operating system designed to support orthogonal persistence. Grasshopper uses containers as the only storage abstraction and loci as the abstraction for execution. A protection mechanism is needed to control access to data and operating system functions across multiple languages. Grasshopper uses a capability-based protection system to provide this control in a uniform way.
