cap.rs

//! Capabilities: unforgeable, attenuable references.
//!
//! A capability is an opaque 128-bit id minted by a kernel from a per-kernel
//! secret, a monotonic serial and the parent id. Holding the id is the *only*
//! authority needed to call the object it names, and the kernel is the only
//! component that can mint one: an id that is not in the registry is refused
//! with `rpc/unknown-capability`, so a peer cannot forge, guess or transplant a
//! capability from another connection.
//!
//! Attenuation is monotone by construction: [`CapAttrs::attenuate`] refuses any
//! attempt to widen methods, budget, path scope or tool policy.
