ABSTRACT::
	The paper examines the question of sharing of rights and
information in the Take-Grant Protection Model by concentrating on the
similarities between the two; in order to do this, we state and prove
new theorems for each that specifically show the similarities.  The
proof for one of the original theorems is also provided.  These
statements of necessary and sufficient conditions are contrasted to
illustrate the proposition that transferring rights and transferring
information are fundamentally the same, as one would expect in a
capability-based system.  We then discuss directions for future
research in light of these results.
