Hello,

Robert Watson of the kernel cross-reference and other fame gave an impromptu 
yet compelling presentation at EuroBSDCon about his CAPP (Controlled Access 
Protection Profile) and OpenBSM work on FreeBSD and Darwin and I am curious if 
any work is being done to implement/import this work into OpenBSD. I found the 
"log and audit at all costs" approach of CAPP/BSM most interesting: whereas any 
user can pump just about any data into syslog, CAPP/BSM dictates for example 
that a system must optionally slow down to accommodate incoming logging and in 
fact halt if it cannot accept more. This is a bit extreme but maps out just 
about any level of paranoia and is the new target for some government systems.

The paper:

Best regards,

Michael Dexter
