Hi,

I can say that LIDS can be something like a B1 OS. For a B1 system, the
target is so width and so complexity. Not only a MAC, but also many other
releated things are needed to be done. LIDS impletement a simply MAC in
the kernel, maybe named as Refrence Monitor. 

I am sorry for the mistake and it just my word on the pages but not
releated with other LIDS developers. 

thank you for your notification! 

Thanks,
Xie
