Capability-based security for Redox
Capsicum style cabilities in Redox
Redox OS is a Unix-like microkernel-based operating system written in Rust, intended for both the cloud and the desktop. In this project we will replace Redox's internal file descriptor representation with capability descriptors, optimized for both security and performance. This will provide a foundation for capability-based security on Redox, and possibly capability extensions from other UNIX-like systems, while also supporting POSIX-style file descriptors for application compatibility.
