Hi Yuan,

In DSI project, the security policy file is written on XML, it is parsed 
in user space and then the info is sent to our Linux kernel module dsm, 
through sysfs. you could have a look at our source code, 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/disec/ consider downloading the 
disec-0.4 package.

Feel free to contact me for more info,
Makan
