History

The RSBAC project has been started as my master thesis in November 1996 at Hamburg University, which took a full year until November 1997. The first public version 0.9 for Linux kernel 2.0.30 was published on January, 9, 1998.

As of 1st of November 2001, the current stable version is 1.1.2, which supports kernels 2.2.19 and 2.4.8-12. Pre-version 1.2.0-pre2 has been released, and 1.2.0-pre3 will certainly be available when this paper is presented.

The next major release 1.2.0 will contain a lot of changes, e.g the first extension of the set of request types and an extension of the set of target types.
