"Capability-Based Computer Systems", by Henry Levy, Digital Press,
1984.

This book has a chapter on the protection scheme in Plessy/250.  This
is a very good book if you're interested in capabilities -- it is the
only source I've seen that fully explains the implementation of
several capability-based systems (most conference papers have holes
and gaps in the explanations).
