This book contains 14 original papers on SELinux, an operating system program designed to protect against software vulnerabilities. The papers were originally presented at a 2007symposium sponsored by IBM, Red Hat, Tresys, and Hewlett-Packard. The book contains programming and other guidance for those using SELinux to improve the security of computer operating systems.
