Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a Free Software security extension for current Linux kernels. Rule Set Based Access Control is based on the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and LaPadula and provides a flexible system of access control based on several modules.

All security relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then enforced by the system call extensions.

Here are some key features of "Rule Set Based Access Control":
Free Open Source (GPL) Linux kernel security solution
Independent of governments and big companies
Several well-known and new security models, like MAC, ACL and RC
On-access virus scanning with the Dazuko interface
Detailed control over individual user and program network accesses
Fully access controlled kernel level user management
Any combination of security models possible
Easily extensible: write your own model for runtime registration
Support for latest kernels and stable for production use

What's New in This Release:
This version offers many improvements over the 1.2.x series and supports kernels 2.4.33.3 and 2.6.18.
It includes speed and scalability enhancements, more control over suid files, sockets, authentication, options to the jail module, dazuko udev support, and much more.
