SELinux


Short for Security-enhanced Linux, SELinux is a Linux variation that can be fully integrated into the Linux 2.6 kernel series and also several Linux distributions. SELinux has no concept of a root user, instead it includes enhanced security functionality through enforced mandatory access controls (MAC).

It was released to the open_source.html development community in 2000.
