perimeter delegation problem

Alice gives Bob a power that she wishes Mallet not to have.  Bob and Mallet are not supposed to be in communication, and Bob does not wish to give the power to Mallet.  Can Mallet break in and take the power anyway?  Preventing this is the problem of Perimeter Security.
