+\begin{abstract}
+The discovery of exploitable bugs in critical security components such as
+\texttt{sudo} happens with alarming frequency. Complexity of the SUID binary
+plays a significant part in allowing these bugs to exist in the first place.
+This paper presents a much simpler replacement for \texttt{sudo} which
+separates the different stages of privilege elevation into separate processes,
+only the last of which is fully elevated.
