Porting NSA SE Linux to Hand Held devices

Notes

I presented this paper at the 2003 Ottawa Linux Symposium (OLS).

http://lsm.immunix.org/ is defunct, since about 2004, so I removed the link.

I corrected the URLs for the NSA papers […]

Partitioning a Server with NSA SE Linux

Notes

The wide range of virtualisation options makes this paper mostly obsolete, and what isn’t obsoleted by that is obsoleted by new developments in […]
