Reminder: TrustedBSD paper at USENIX Technical Conference, FREENIX , track

[Robert Watson]

This week the USENIX Annual Technical Conference is being held in Boston,
MA--I'll be presenting a paper as part of its FREENIX track on the topic
of some of the on-going TrustedBSD work, including EAs, ACLs, and initial
work on MAC.  The title and abstract of the paper are below; if you'll be
at USENIX, I look forward to see you at that session, and welcome any
questions or comments.

  TrustedBSD: Adding Trusted Operating System Features to FreeBSD

  Abstract

  Trusted operating systems provide a ``next level'' of system security,
  offering both new security features and higher assurance that they are
  properly implemented.  TrustedBSD is an on-going project to integrate a
  number of trusted OS features into the open source FreeBSD operating
  system, and involves both architectural and development process
  improvements.  This paper describes how the open source development
  practices of the FreeBSD Project impacted the design and implementation
  choices for these features, and describes lessons learned that will
  influence future work.  Several key TrustedBSD features are discussed as
  examples of how new security services may be introduced in such an
  environment.
