Abstract

Access control in SELinux is designed for a monolithic operating system. In order to apply SELinux in distributed environments it is necessary to extend the policy specification language to include the notion of location. This paper presents a system that translates a location extended policy to local- policies. A policy server does this translation and distributes local policies to the corresponding hosts. The system implementation results are discussed.
