About Me

I graduated with a Bachelors in Computer Science here at Stony Brook University in May 2005 and will be starting my Masters in Computer Science with a focus in Information assurance in the comming fall. I'm currently working on systems research in the File Systems and Storage Lab (FSL) in the Computer Science Building at Stony Brook under the guidance of Professor Zadok.

Projects

I currently have the benefit of persuing my own research in the field of SELinux policy development. After having the honor of working with the SELinux team and seeing first hand the power and benefits of SELinux I decided to tackle the problem of policy development for SELinux.

The result of this is a new project named PLEASE. PLEASE is a high level language for defining SELinux policy. Taking the concept of resource interaction further we are working on developing a system that eases the conceptual burden on the developer. Using the concept that resources are exposed and created by other applications and the underlying structure of a distrobution we are working to provide a system of building blocks to help in the development of SELinux policy. The work then extends into simplifying the process of specifying object labeling, contraints, and other type enforcement concepts that provide an initial barrier to new policy developers.

In the past I have worked on Unionfs with Charles P. Wright. Unionfs is a stackable unification file system based off of the fist templates and has many users one of which being the Knoppix livecd project.
