Tomoyo or SELinux or APP Armour?


I wanted to ask about the benefits of Tomoyo with consideration of SELinux and APP Armour?

Why choose one over the other?

Can they work together or conflict?

This thread answers the question:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ar-4175562719/

Lots to read. But why is TOMOYO so far behind SELinux if it is mentioned in wikipedia as comparable?

Before going into things: what have you actually researched yourself so far? Have you actually searched LQ for similar threads?

What about SMACK (the Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel)? It's been built in the kernel for a long time. VERY simple.

SELinux is already included in a lot of distro's, it works well, and is the most well developed of them (IMO), so I choose it.
