This Notebook has been assembled from information that is available within the public domain and where necessary, updated to reflect the Linux Security Module (LSM) and Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) services as built into the Fedora 12 release of GNU/Linux.
This Notebook is split into two volumes:
1. The Foundations - that describes Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) services as built into the Fedora 12 release of GNU / Linux.
2. Sample Policy Source - that contains sample policy and application code to build a simple policy to experiment with a message filter and X-Windows polyinstantiation.
These should help with explaining:
a) SELinux and its purpose in life.
b) The LSM / SELinux architecture, its supporting services and how they are implemented within GNU / Linux.
c) The Virtual Machine, X-Windows, SE-PostgreSQL and Apache/SELinux-Plus SELinux-aware capabilities.
d) The core SELinux policy language and how basic policy modules can be constructed for instructional purposes.
e) The core SELinux policy management tools with examples of usage.
f) The Reference Policy architecture, its supporting services and how it is implemented.
