Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Object capability is a concept used in computer security and programming, where access to objects (resources) is controlled through the possession of references (capabilities) to those objects, combined with the operations (messages) that can be performed on them. This approach allows for fine-grained access control based on direct possession of capabilities rather than relying on global access control lists or identity-based permissions.
