Security Mechanisms in Linux [german]

In my 4th Semester, I wrote an introduction on Linux security mechanisms on the application level. This introduction covers topics like Access Control techniques, hardening the Linux kernel, the LSM framework, SELinux and AppArmor, as well as Ruleset Based Access Control (RBAC).

I want to emphasize that this work is only an introduction on the topic and therefore does not contain manuals or step-by-step tutorials on how to set those features up, rather explaining how they work as well as elaborating their advantages and disadvantages.
