Code and data are exchanged and reused freely across the Internet and the Web.
But both are vectors for attacks on confidentiality and integrity. Current
systems are vulnerable because they're built at too low a level of abstraction,
without principled security assurance. The Fabric project has been developing
higher-level abstractions that securely support future open, extensible
applications. Unlike current Web abstractions, Fabric has a principled basis
for security: language-based information flow, which works even for distrusted
mobile code. Warranties, a new abstraction for distributed computation,
enable scalability even with a strong consistency model that simplifies
programmer reasoning.
