The documentation for the security-enhanced Linux consists of papers and presentations describing the goals, design, implementation and policy configuration of the project. There are also a number of external resources for SELinux documentation, such as the resources linked from http://selinuxproject.org, and there are a number of external papers and talks published on http://selinux-symposium.org.
