At the 2001 Linux Kernel Summit, the [[National Security Agency|NSA]] proposed that [[Security-Enhanced Linux|SELinux]] be included in Linux 2.5.<ref>{{
In response, [[Crispin Cowan]] proposed<ref>{{cite web|url=http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=98695004126478&w=2|title=Linux Security Module Interface|accessdate=2007-02-03|author=Crispin Cowan|work=linux-kernel mailing list|date=2001-04-11}}</ref> LSM: an interface for the Linux kernel that provides sufficient "hooks" (upcalls) from within the Linux kernel to a [[Loadable kernel module|loadable module]] so as to allow the module to enforce mandatory access controls. Development of LSM over the next two years was conducted by the LSM community, including substantial contributions from the [[Immunix|Immunix Corporation]], the [[NSA]], [[McAfee]], [[IBM]], [[Silicon Graphics]], and many independent contributors. LSM was ultimately accepted into the Linux kernel mainstream and was included as a standard part of Linux 2.6 in December 2003.
