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.
