A user on foo (or perhaps - a program on foo) wishes to execute a program on machine bar. - However, imagine that the people running bar don't want just - anyone running code on their machine for security reasons. - This is the normal case on the Internet, and one which the - World Wide Web attempts to emulate with HTTP and CGI. - - Normally, there is no well-known channel for foo to transmit - code to bar. Further, there is no provision for the code to - undergo verification after transmission. Too, there is no - well-defined way for bar to ensure that foo's code does not - attempt to perform insecure or damaging operations. - - Penguin attempts to solve these issues while making sure the - code language maintains some acceptable degree of sufficiency - and power. - - Using Penguin, the user/program on foo 'digitally signs' the - code that's earmarked for delivery to bar. The signature - encodes the code in such a way that it is impossible to alter - the code or deny that the signer signed it. - - The code is then wrapped up into a packet and transmitted - through a 'channel' to a Penguin process running on machine - bar. The channel's protocol layer is abstracted away - enough that it becomes unimportant; Penguin code can just - as easily be delivered through SMTP or AOL Mail as through - TCP/IP, DECNet, AppleTalk, whatever. - - The Penguin process on bar unwraps the packet, which contains - further verification and checksum information, and then - 'digitally unsigns' the code, a process which provides the - code in 'clear' form while telling the receiver who digitally - signed it. - - The receiver then cross-references the signer's identity with - a list of rights that the receiver associates with the signer, - reverting to a set of default rights if the signer is unknown - or unlisted. - - A safe compartment is then created, populated with the - functions allowed to the signer, and told to limit the - operations it can perform to only those permitted to the - signer. - - The code is then compiled within that safe compartment. If - it attempts to do something which the signer is not allowed - to do, or if it attempts to call a function not permitted - to the signer, the compartment immediately traps the operation - and throws the code away before it can execute. If the code - uses no unsafe or illegal operations, then it executes and - produces a result. - - The code executing side then becomes the master in the - transaction, and can send code to the original sender, - send the return value back in a data packet, and so forth. - The process repeats as necessary until both parties are - done; the channel then closes, and the Penguin transaction is complete. - - The basic sentiment behind the idea of 'identity' being - correlated to 'rights' in the receiver is that in signing - the code, the signer commits her identity and her reputation - on the correct operation of the code. - - 'highly trustable' signers (as one might imagine Larry Wall, - Randal Schwartz, and Tom Christiansen to be) might be assigned - very high levels of trust and equivalent degrees of 'rights', - so that programs they sign can perform very complex and - interesting operations on your computer. By the same token, - paranoid sites or those wishing isolation could assign zero - rights to everyone except for a select (perhaps internal) few. - - Part of the 'rights' given to signers include possibly specialized - functions that encapsulate the functionality of extremely dangerous - operations. For instance, a store opening up on the Internet might - put up a Penguin server which put functions called 'list_items' - and 'buy_item()' into the limited compartments all users get. - 'list_items' might open up a file on the store's machine, read - the contents, and spit them out -- an operation which, if allowed - in the general case, would clearly breach security.
