OCAP Bounded Authority: Edera's Managed Approach to Object Capabilities

Edera has developed a "bounded authority" approach using object-capability security to limit AI agent access to only specific, necessary permissions rather than broad credentials. Unlike traditional security methods that constrain already-granted authority, this model gives agents explicit capabilities to perform only required actions, preventing compromised agents from accessing unintended resources. This represents a shift from ambient authority (inherited through environment variables and credentials) to explicit authority (conveyed through unforgeable references).
