Baltimore is an independent city located in the state of Maryland in the United States. , explores the emerging SELinux technology and the power of flexible mandatory access control A system of access control that assigns security labels or classifications to system resources and allows access only to entities (people, processes, devices) with distinct levels of authorization or clearance. These controls are enforced by the operating system or security kernel. in Linux. The Second SELinux Symposium features two full days of SELinux-related tutorials followed by a two-day technical agenda that includes papers, presentations, and case studies by experts and practitioners with SELinux. Topics for the symposium include in-depth discussions of the core SELinux technology, emerging SELinux policy management and development tools, experiences using SELinux to build secure system solutions, and the status of SELinux within Linux. (For the full agenda, visit http://www.selinux-symposium.org/2006/agenda.php.) New this year is an invitation-only SELinux developer summit, where the core developers and contributors of SELinux discuss upcoming technology changes, requirements, and plans. About the SELinux Symposium The Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) Symposium is an annual exchange of ideas, technology, and research involving SELinux. SELinux is technology that adds flexible, strong mandatory access control security to Linux. The Second Symposium is scheduled for February 27-March 3, 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland and is sponsored by Hewlett-Packard, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Red Hat, Tresys Technology, and Trusted Computer Solutions. The event brings together experts from business, government, and academia to share research, development, and application experiences using SELinux.
