The State and Direction of LSM StackingLinux Security Summit North America 20252025-06-26
LSM stacking is moving from ad hoc per-module state to infrastructure-managed data: security blobs hold per-object/process pointers, LSM properties replace…
Talk on
Stacked LSMs and User SpaceLinux Security Summit North America 20242024-04-18
Linux 6.8 adds three new system calls to access LSM attributes and a small C library, liblsm, implements friendly wrappers plus proc emulation for older…

System Calls for the Linux Security Module InfrastructureLinux Security Summit North America 20232023-05-10
Linux introduces three new syscalls to replace messy /proc and securityfs interfaces: lsm_list_modules, lsm_self_get_attr and lsm_self_set_attr. They use a…

LSM Maintainers PanelLinux Security Summit North America 20232023-05-10
Panel argues that LSM stacking is the single most important change and shows progress toward composition but no final namespacing solution; eBPF-as-LSM is…

Finally, a Smack Reference PolicyLinux Security Summit Europe 20222022-09-15
A Smack reference policy targets an Ubuntu desktop using systemd support and Smack’s bring up mode to log permitted-but-unexpected accesses, implements a three…
Talk on
The Security Community Expressed As Too Many Venn Diagramslinux.conf.au 20222022-01-14
Argument that the security community literally births computing technology, tracing cryptography -> mechanical and electronic code machines -> early computers…

[PATCH v22] Landing a Large Serieslinux.conf.au 20202020-01-13
Seven years of work refactors Linux security modules from a single-user design into a multi-module stack, culminating in [PATCH v22] and many incremental patch…
Talk on
When Jargon Becomes Gibberishlinux.conf.au 20202020-01-13
Explains why technical shorthand degenerates into misunderstanding: uncontrolled acronyms (ACLs and SCSI), reused metaphors (desktop, bootstrap), code names…

LSM Stacking - What You Can Do Now and What's NextLinux Security Summit Europe 20192019-10-31
Kernel supports stacking for LSMs that restrict themselves to 5.3 infrastructure-managed blobs (credential, inode, file; now expanding to sock security blob)…
Talk on
Subsystem Update: The 2019 Smack UpdateLinux Security Summit North America 20192019-08-19
Smack gains a rule km cache that cuts rule-list lookup cost, a removed global label list that lowers memory use on small systems, and fixes to IPv6 ICMP…
Talk on
Subsystem Update: LSM Stacking - What You Can Do Now and What's NextLinux Security Summit North America 20192019-08-19
Linux 5.1 ships infrastructure-managed blobs so a limited set of extended security labels can be shared across LSMs, letting Tomayo and others run alongside…
Talk on
Tutorial: How to Write a Linux Security ModuleLinux Security Summit North America 20192019-08-19
Covers how to implement an LSM end to end: which kernel hooks to use (inode/file/socket vs packet), how to store labels in per-object infrastructure-managed…
Talk on
Does Making the Kernel Harder Make Making the Kernel Harder?Linux Security Summit Europe 20182018-10-25
Argument that kernel hardening measurably raises exploitation cost by changing real code: adoption of refcount_t prevents classic refcount bugs and touches…
Talk on
Overview and Recent Developments: SmackLinux Security Summit Europe 20182018-10-25
Smack is a focused mandatory‑access module that uses simple text labels are 24‑character text strings on subjects and objects and one deterministic rule to…
Talk on
Security Module Stacks That Don't Fall OverLinux Security Summit Europe 20182018-10-25
Work is adding kernel support for multiple concurrent LSMs by having the infrastructure manage the blobs and hand each module an offset so SELinux and Smack no…
Talk on
Security Module Stacks that Don't Fall OverLinux Security Summit North America 20182018-08-27
Kernel supports LSM stacking (since 4.18) by changing how per-object security blob memory is allocated centrally so multiple modules can keep state, and by…
