BottleCap: a credential manager for capability systems

TL;DR: BottleCap is introduced, a capability container that binds capabilities to the machine to which they are issued, holding their secrets in sealed storage, preventing the delegation of the rights they represent except under the supervision of BottleCap.

Controlling the dissemination and disclosure of healthcare events

TL;DR: This dissertation describes how publish/subscribe, an asynchronous, push-based, manyto-many middleware communication paradigm, is extended to include mechanisms for actively controlling information disclosure, and builds Interaction Control mechanisms into integrated database-brokers to provide a rich representation of state; while facilitating audit.
