Parent article: An introduction to SELinux

I don't think such an article exists, because the fundamental concepts behind SELinux aren't new. They've been around for decades. SELinux just builds on those decades of secure systems research to create an implementation for Linux.

PS. Academics have been known to spend decades on ideas that don't work out well in practice. :-)
