Policy Analysis for Security-Enhanced Linux
Beata Sarna-Starosta and Scott D. Stoller

Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) extends Linux with a flexible mandatory access control mechanism that enforces security policies expressed in SELinux's policy language. Determining whether a given policy meets a site's high-level security goals can be difficult, due to the low-level nature of the policy language and the size and complexity of SELinux policies. We propose a logic-programming-based approach to analysis of SELinux policies. The approach is implemented in a tool that helps users determine whether a policy meets its goals.
