I have decided to resume development of the libTekLTI project. I have also decided to add shell script support as well as an Access Control List (ACL) platform.

These changes have shifted the focus of the project: it is not only going to support a new language, it is going to be an aim to make a truly free open source EAL-4 security subsystem within Linux. Development toward the EAL-4 standard will start with the creation of a shell.

For those not familiar with the EAL security levels, EAL stands for Evaluation Assurance Level, a term used in the Common Criteria certification. Levels 1-7 are available, with 4 being common for operating systems. EAL-4 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security engineering based on good commercial development practices which, though rigorous, do not require substantial specialist knowledge, skills, and other resources. Although libTekLTI may be disqualified from the certification (because libTekLTI is open source), the aim of libTekLTI is to be on par with the EAL-4 requirements.
