Security Requirements for the Deployment of the Linux Kernel in Enterprise Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this white paper is to establish an architecture for providing security services for Linux-based enterprise-level Internet servers. While Linux provides good security features, equivalent to other comparable operating systems, the emerging security threats require stronger security mechanisms in the Linux kernel. We present a design that will make Linux substantially more secure against modern threats while maintaining a high degree of compatibility for existing enterprise software.

Computer security is a chronic and growing problem, even for Linux, as evidenced by the seemingly endless stream of software security vulnerabilities. Security research has produced numerous access control mechanisms that help improve system security; however, there is little consensus on the best solution. Many powerful security systems have been implemented as research prototypes or highly sp...
متن کاملLinux Security Modules: General Security Support for the Linux Kernel
The access control mechanisms of existing mainstream operating systems are inadequate to provide strong system security. Enhanced access control mechanisms have failed to win acceptance into mainstream operating systems due in part to a lack of consensus within the security community on the right solution. Since generalpurpose operating systems must satisfy a wide range of user requirements, an...
