Abstract
A method for granting access to objects by entities in a computerized system includes: providing an access control list (ACL) specifying for each object access rights to the objects of the computerized system; assigning a capability requirement information to at least one of the objects in the ACL; assigning a capability information to at least one entity of the entities in the computerized system; requesting access to an object by an entity; checking if the requesting entity has an access right in accordance with the ACL; and granting access to the requested object by the requesting entity only when the capability information assigned to the requesting entity matches with the capability requirement information assigned to the requested object. The combination of an ACL based access to files with capabilities improves the security of the system.
