Linux - Open Source White Papers
Demands, Solutions, and Improvements for Linux Filesystem Security
Overview Securing file resources under Linux is a team effort. No one library, application, or kernel feature can stand alone in providing robust security. Current Linux access control mechanisms work in concert to provide a certain level of security, but they depend upon the integrity of the machine itself to protect that data. Once the data leaves that machine, or if the machine itself is physically compromised, those access control mechanisms can no longer protect the data in the filesystem. At that point, data privacy must be enforced via encryption.
