Capability-based security

This post is meant to deliver you a dense and meaningful primer on the capability-based security. I’m far from being expert in this topic. What I did was spending some time trying to read a lot, understand it and then map it to a form that should be understandable and interesting to read. I hope you’ll enjoy it and learn a lot. I follow a do and don’t mantra, summarizing each section, to help you build a valid mental model of what capabilities are and what they are not.
