Project Goals

Our goals are:

• Encourage and facilitate open source development of security features for the Linux kernel.
• Track progress of development work.
• Maintain a set of patches for security features that have not yet been merged into mainline.
• Remain distribution agnostic. We want to focus on patches that affect Linux directly.
• Work with the KSPP.

Philosophy

• We need all the help we can get. Think you're lacking the skills? Feel like there's nothing you could do with your current skillset? Let us prove you wrong!
