Not crypto, but very much security: Capsicum is a capability system layered on top of POSIX. It is enabled by default in FreeBSD from 9.1.
We're working on a Linux port. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Drysdale <drysd...@google.com> Date: 22 October 2013 10:07 Subject: [capsicum] capsicum-linux codebase To: cl-capsicum-disc...@lists.cam.ac.uk Cc: Ben Laurie <b...@google.com> Hi, As some of you know, I'm working on getting Capsicum working in the Linux kernel, based on the FreeBSD implementation and on previous work done by Meredydd Luff in his stint as a Google intern. If anyone is interested in the details, the Git repo is now visible at: https://github.com/google/capsicum-linux This is still work in progress, but I've merged Meredydd's work up to a more recent kernel (3.11.1), and I'm slowly converging on functional equivalence to FreeBSD 9.x -- catching up with Pawel et al's more recent work will come later. Along the way, I've also separated out a bunch of user-space tests for the Capsicum syscall functionality into a separate repo at: https://github.com/google/capsicum-test This combines both the FreeBSD test cases and Meredydd's test code with a few extras, but I've pulled it into a separate repo to make it easy to run on both Linux and FreeBSD, to allow cross-comparison. It may potentially also be useful for other Capsicum port efforts (although as above, it's targeted at the level of function in FreeBSD 9.x, not 10.x). Let me know if you have any questions, David
