SELinux Internals

I am studying how selinux is implemented in the kernel. This obiously enables me to know how lsm is also spread out in the kernel. I have not yet started out with LXR and ima because IMA is a patch and not source code! Well patch can be viewed as a text document but I did not find any source code. Does this mean I am stupid? Actually the patch has all the code layed in the open so I don’t know what to do.

I have also downloaded TrouSeRs which is source code. I can give it a try as well. I can try tpm emulator as well! For the time being I am concentrating on SELinux internal architecture implementation as lsm.

Mr. MMA have you gone through Leveraging of IPSEC for distributing of SElinux? I have a strong feeling that its going to be of good use. It is also part of the linux kernel since kernel 2.6.16.
