<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A powerbox is a component which mediates between the user and a program, interpreting the user's instructions to grant authorities to the program, and allowing the program to request authorities to be granted. It goes beyond a [[capability shell]] in that the program may request additional authorities after its initialization, via the powerbox.<br />
<br />
[[CapDesk]] was the first program to contain a powerbox referred to as such.<br />
