→Abstract
This is a proposal for a security model for Gecko. The key idea of this proposal is that security checks are performed immediately before doing a possibly-unsafe operation and that the subject principal for any actions is tracked throughout the codebase. Contrast this with the proposal at [[Security:Security_Checks_In_Glue]].
This proposal does not address Python and other languages, but they are identical to C++ for purposes of this proposal.
