Hi,

One concept trying to provide a trusted mechanism with
the main purpose of preventing arbitrary users from executing
arbitrary code is usually called Trusted Path Execution,
or TPE for short.

I have tried to introduce a security feature in LIDS 1.2.0
that implements a TPE mechanism. A paper outlines this
feature can be found at the following URL:

http://www.lids.org/document/LIDS-TPE-feature.txt

In TPE mode, LIDS will only execute binaries as well as
libraries, and even load kernel modules as far as they
are protected.

Any comments are welcomed.

Thanks,
purna
