Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for conducting a signature verification of a mandatory access control policy and provisioning the mandatory access control policy into kernel memory if the signature verification is successful. Additionally, the kernel memory may be protected from unauthorized write operations by one or more processes having system level privileges. In one example, the mandatory access control policy is provisioned without a system reboot.
