Re:  What are good things to read?

I don't think there are any good surveys on general protection in
computer systems.  There is a 1975 paper by Saltzer & Schroeder
(Proceedings of IEEE, September), but it was probably written too
early, has a very baroque ways of looking at things, and the english
is very poor (needlessly complex).

If you're interested in capability-based computers, may I suggest you
read "Capability-Base Computer Systems", by Henry M. Levy, published
by Digital Press (DEC), Bedford, MA, 1984.  The book is second to none
on the subject of capability-based systems.
