Proposal document

It would be nice to have a security layer that offers open source security libraries/programs. The layer would be helpful for users that want to :
– build a router image with security features like intrusion detection/prevention
– build a image for penetration testing
– harden the operating system
– build images used in secure environments

This looks good, SELinux should be seperated from this proposal, as this work is already on-going.
Comment 2 Andrei Dinu 2013-07-23 08:20:02 UTC
layer is implemented and can be found here :
