Tresys Technology Announces the
Release of Version 2.0 of the CDS Framework IDE for SELinux

Columbia, Maryland–June 5, 2007 – Tresys Technology, a leader in security technology innovation and services and a primary contributor to Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux), has released Version 2.0 of the CDS Framework Toolkit integrated development environment (IDE), an open source software package specifically designed for developers of cross domain solutions (CDS) and other network perimeter defense solutions.

This new version of the toolkit provides a graphical interface to the high-level CDS Framework language, allowing CDS developers to draw the desired solution and generate corresponding SELinux type enforcement policy. Using this toolkit, the designer can focus on creating the best security architecture for the CDS without needing to know the intricacies of SELinux security policy concepts.

The CDS Framework Toolkit addresses a popular application of SELinux, specifically high-end network security filters that isolate and control the information flow of sensitive networks. It complements many other open source projects developed by Tresys for the secure Linux community, including the SELinux policy development IDE (SLIDE).

Tresys has extensive experience developing cross domain solutions and other applications using SELinux.
