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. However, - by creating a specialized function, the security concern is - removed, and by letting potential customers know of the function, - the power and ease of use are kept high. - - Niggling but important technical issues currently being wrestled - with include the way that foreign functions are registered into - the namespace, the construction of a foreign function framework - so that the names and function of the functions are well-known, - and a superior-than-current 'digital signature' method. +The Penguin module provides a framework within which a user on one host +electronically signs a piece of Perl code, sends it to another host where the +signature is checked and the code is executed with privileges that are +particular to that user. diff --git a/games/evilfinder/pkg-descr b/games/evilfinder/pkg-descr index 9145a031b346..523f21e2cbc3 100644 --- a/games/evilfinder/pkg-descr +++ b/games/evilfinder/pkg-descr @@ -2,35 +2,21 @@ Evilfinder shows you whether things are evil.
