SELinux Mailing ListRe: Multiple contexts

Because then policy would be encoded in the file attributes, not in a centralized security policy. Hence, one would be unable to analyze information flow in the system based solely on the policy and would have to also analyze the complete filesystem state, and that state is much more subject to change at runtime than the policy itself (one would hope). -- Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
