Abstract

There are many extensions to the Linux security model that are available. ConSA [1] aims to provide a configurable architecture, and should allow many security systems to be implemented. A prototype ConSA system has been implemented in Linux. This paper will examine how ConSA relates to currently available Linux security extensions.
