Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux® kernel and a number of
utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add mandatory access
controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux kernel contains new
architectural components originally developed to improve the security of the
Flask operating system. These architectural components provide general support
for the enforcement of many kinds of mandatory access control policies,
including those based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.
This package contains checkpolicy, the SELinux policy compiler. Only required
for building policies.
