# Security in Linux: Core Concepts

I think in the end, this document covers way more than just a brief introduction to LSM specifically, it talks the layered approach to security, DAC vs MAC, Linux capabilities, and LSMs in the context of it all.

I think that by having separate "Linux Security: Core Concepts" and "AppArmor: Core Concepts" we can have a cleaner separation -- if someone is already familiar with how Linux works, they can start with the AppArmor one directly without having to scroll past information that is obvious to them, but if someone is not familiar with basic security concepts, they can either read up on Linux Security first or, every time they see something they don't understand in AppArmor Core Concepts, we would link them to Linux Core Concepts. Does it make sense WDYT? 🤔
