Marc Stiegler in the e-lang mail list...
It is possible to visualize a capability-based world in which the human being remembers one and only one pass phrase, the phrase that unlocks all his capabilities on his personal machine. This pass phrase would never be sent over the wire, never be shared with anybody. It would be used solely to to enable the human to authenticate himself to his computer. From there on, ACLs need not apply. Hallelujah.Alan Karp's site password is an interesting approximation of this idea.
