Kernel Security Projects

Access Control

Integrity

This is a rapidly developing area, see the following LWN article for an overview:

  • System integrity in Linux.


Privileges

  • POSIX File Capabilities
    • Filesystem capabilities in Fedora 10 LWN article.


Networking

There are several separately maintained projects relating to network security, including:

  • Netfilter packet filtering.
  • Labeled Networking, including NetLabel, CIPSO, Labeled IPsec and SECMARK, see Paul Moore's blog.
  • NuFW authenticating firewall based on netfilter


Storage

  • Labeled NFS, a project to add MAC labeling support to the NFSv4 protocol.


Cryptography

The cryptographic subsystem is maintained separately by Herbert Xu, refer to the mailing list.
