I propose the following project:
Validated Execution Project
Sponsoring Community:
Security
Purpose:
This project will develop new functionality to strengthen
the security of the OpenSolaris Operating Environment.
List of project leaders:
John Zolnowsky (O.S. id: johnz), primary contact
Scott Rotondo (O.S. id: rotondo), alternate contact
Jennifer Bauer (O.S. id: jbauer), webpage editor
Casper Dik (O.S. id: casper)
Joep Vesseur (O.S. id: jjj)
Will Young (O.S. id: wyoung)
Project Description:
To add the feature of validating signatures associated with
objects (kernel modules, executables, libraries, and scripts)
before allowing such objects to be executed. The
administrative model will address what signatures to accept and
what disposition is to be given to objects without associated
signatures. The project will address infrastructure issues
such as facilities and procedures to associate signatures with
both OpenSolaris and independently developed objects.
Project Needs:
This project requires project space on the opensolaris.org
site.
