Security Enhanced (SE) Android is a project to identify and address critical gaps in the security of Android. Initially, the SE Android project is enabling the use of SELinux in Android in order to limit the damage that can be done by flawed or malicious apps and in order to enforce separation guarantees between apps. However, the scope of the SE Android project is not limited to SELinux.

NSA releases security-enhanced Android.

The National Security Agency's SELinux Project has announced the first release of SE Android, a security enhanced version of Google's Android operating system. SEAndroid is the name of both a project to identify, and find solutions for, critical gaps in Android security and of a reference implementation of a security enhanced Android. The project is currently focusing its efforts on enabling SELinux functionality in the hope that it can limit the damage done by malicious apps, but hopes to widen its scope in the future.

Pretty sure I've posted this in a topic somewhere on here but it may have been another forum.

Nice to see them beefing up Chrome but I don't think it will help.

You did, and they are now merged together.

Which side is SEAndroid coming from, SID or IAD?
