Object Capability
Although related, this concept is different from hm://z6MkuBbsB1HbSNXLvJCRCrPhimY6g7tzhr4qvcYKPuSZzhno/definitions/capability?l . In a true OCAP system, authority is just possession. If you hold the capability, you can use it. There are no identities and no signatures — it’s a runtime concept.
Object capabilities are a form of authority to perform specific actions on specific objects.
Example framing
