Hi Jose,

Long time no see ;-)


Few updates and info that may be useful: 

- updated security wiki, with some more Tizen 3.0 information (Tizen 3.X 
section): https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Security 
https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Security/Tizen_3.X_Overview 

- document states: "Despite that such feature exists, Tizen/v3 doesn't 
implement netfiltering." Even though its not currently integrated with the 
platform, we've actually just finished implementing that (kernel & netfilter 
upstream patches to get full security context of packets and a "nether" module 
in userspace to filter out the packets/ask for the policy - in our 
implementation, via Cynara. Only beginnings of each network connection are 
being checked. Wiki page with documentation is very poor, its under 
construction (https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Security:Nether); we're on our way to 
add this (hopefully) to daily images.

- on the container topic, a small update: we're still waiting for upstream 
Smack namespaces patches to be finally accepted; there seems to be consensus 
about their future (Casey Schaufler added them to the "future" roadmap of Smack 
development on Linux Security Summit), but those are sill not merged.

- I like the title "Do not under estimate security cost" on one of the 
paragraphs ;-)

- about Smack access modes: recently there is also a "bringup mode": 
https://lwn.net/Articles/608430/ 

That is all I got at 1st glance - BTW, a nice summary of the work done on Tizen.
