Permission and Authority Revisited towards a formalisation

Miller's notions of permissions and authority are foundational to the analysis of object-capability programming. Informal definitions of these concepts were given in Miller's thesis. In this paper we propose precise definitions for permissions and authority, based on a small object-oriented calculus. We quantify their bounds (current, eventual, behavioural, topological), and delineate the relationships between these definitions.
