Mark S. Miller
Miller’s work made authority and confinement explicit design concerns for programmable distributed systems.
Mark S. Miller is a computer scientist whose research focuses on object-capability systems and language design for secure open systems. He has worked on distributed persistent object-capability languages and participated in standards and WebAssembly-related work.
Authority by construction
Object-capability security treats references as authority-bearing objects and encourages systems to make authority explicit. Miller’s work has helped explain how this model can support confinement, delegation, and secure composition.
