Writing up the design principals of Ethos is one of my goals this summer. The short description is:

(1) Strong security services (authentication, authorization, encryption, isolation) (2) Higher level, less error prone semantics for all OS interaction. (3) Security guarantees derived from system layering (4) Highly composable semantics

Note that only (1) deals with security-specific code. The rest deals with overall code quality.
