I sent an invitation to Lex to join our conversation about islands.

Lex was doing this project as an intern in Alan's group back in 2000. He recently said somewhere that he launched into the project shortly after having been "Millered", a term referring to having grokked the writings of Mark S. Miller (see http://erights.org). The word is apt, and makes me chuckle.
I would STRONGLY recommend anyone interested in the area to read Mark's thesis dissertation (http://www.erights.org/talks/thesis/). It is the most readable dissertation I have ever read, and is accessible to the non-specialist (like me). It is a comprehensive and well-structured overview of the field of object-capability security. You won't think the same about security after your first Millering.
