As some of you might know, NSA is working on security enhancements to Linux (http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/index.html). Other parts of the US Government are also interested in developing additional security features of open source software. DARPA recently began a project to enhance security in open source operating systems (http://www.darpa.mil/ito/research/chats/index.html). One of the tasks of the DARPA project is to improve the auditing capabilities of Linux (http://secureaudit.sourceforge.net/) to support Orange Book (now Common Criteria) and forensics requirements. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
