sjvn writes “eWEEK Labs tested two trusted operating system products: the National Security Agency’s SELinux, which makes Linux into a trusted operating system, and Sun Microsystems Inc.’s Trusted Solaris 8. Both have access controls that are much more fine-grained than those in mainstream operating systems, limiting the damage that can be done by an attacker who takes control of a process running with root privileges by minimizing the permissions of that process.”
