1. Object Oriented Security
This is a **tangent** reply to the "New Encryption Thread":
Regarding users accessing directories:
DoorMan & GuestList
Modify the file access system to include an encapsulated "GuestList" so that
each directory **knows** who is and who is not allowed inside. This is
essentially an object oriented security system with each directory being a
container object with a "DoorMan" method. Each user can be assigned one or
more special "Group" designations and this can be used instead of an
explicit username on the guestlist.
I created something like this in TurboPascal for a private BBS system a
while ago. Security was iron clad. Since the GuestList is fully encapsulated
the user never sees it. The only way to defeat the security is to access the
Server/OS itself (Catch22).
Question:
What Object Oriented capabilities are available for Euphoria?
