Abstract
A secure naming model for objects in an object-oriented system, wherein names are bound to objects within context objects. The context objects are implemented by name servers, and clients request that a context object "resolve" the name for the object. The name server that implements the context returns a duplicate of the desired object. If a name resolution involves more than one name server, an assurance of security is provided by the first name server to the second name server.
