Project Outcomes

LinSec development, including analysis, design and implementation phases, took roughly 16 weeks. With all of the features specified in Chapter 4 the implementation, in the form of a Linux kernel patch, occupies approximately 5,000 lines of kernel code (written in C) as detailed in Chapter 5. The resulting system conforms in all aspects to the envisaged model.

At the time of writing this report, LinSec has been presented at Linux FEST '02^2.3, Belgrade, where it has prompted considerable interest. LinSec is already employed at the Computer Centre, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Belgrade. A paper is to submitted for presentation at the ETRAN^2.4 conference this June.

Userspace administrative tools were developed, according to the detailed specification, by Mr Bosko Radivojevic and Mr Veselin Mijuskovic at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade due to the time constraints. The resulting system is fully employable in existing Linux platforms with minimal disruptions due to the setup time. LinSec is released to the Open Source community under the terms and conditions of GNU GPL license.
