The Computer Architecture for Secure Systems (CASS) project has developed an architecture and tools to ensure the security and integrity of software in distributed systems. In this paper, we outline a way of combining object oriented programming with the under-exploited hardware security mechanisms provided by the Intel 80286+ processor family to provide additional integrity for such programs and to assist with program debugging. The hardware protection mechanisms which provide process isolation are used in this work at a lower level of granularity to isolate the objects that exist within a process.
