Implementing Privacy with Erlang Active Objects

Functional active objects are a new paradigm for the implementation of services. They offer safe distributed evaluation with futures and immutable objects guaranteeing efficient implementation of privacy while offering verified quality assurance based on the functional paradigm and a development in an interactive theorem prover. In this paper, we present a novel and highly performant implementation of functional active objects in Erlang. Besides outlining the guiding principles of the interpreter, we show by concrete examples how secure services can be realized.
