Design
This section describes our design for integrating the
Flask security mechanisms into the Linux System V IPC component.
It begins with a discussion of the object classes and permissions defined
for the component. This is followed by a description of the control
requirements for the system calls used to manage and perform IPC
operations. Finally, the new IPC-related system calls defined for
security-aware applications are described.
