The charter of the workgroup is to provide on-going security verification of Linux kernel subsystems in order to assist in securing the Linux Kernel and maintain trust and confidence in the security of the Linux ecosystem. This may include, but is not limited to, topics such as tooling to assist in securing the Linux Kernel, verification and testing of critical subsystems for vulnerabilities, security improvements for build tools, and providing guidance for maintaining subsystem security. Would it be okay if we used the kernel-hardening mailing list for communication? If our traffic ever gets to be too much we could get our own list. -- Regards, Corey Bryant
