Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

I'm now trying to do something on integrating IPsec with SELinux. Now I need to get the security context of a socket and the socket itself.
Would you please tell me further that when an outbound packet is going to be send, How can we get the struct socket itself (i.e. the socket that is related to the outbound packet. it refers that when we want to send the packet, we should first set up the socket )?
 
And, in kernel-space, How can we transfer a SID to a security context? Is there any function can we use to achieve it?
 
Thank you.
