i was trying to learn more about veriexec and stumbled upon this link
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/netbsd-tech-kern/2005/12/2/291741

Would looking at veriexec help further the goals of DragonFlyBSD project ?

Technically veriexec looks interesting and a unique contribution
could be to use it to position DragonFlyBSD capabilities in a
way that the market can appreciate. 
 eg. security feature with strong performance profile ?
 eg. how would a feature help a auditor ?
 eg. taken together with feature f1 and f2 and f3, can we
     position this as ITILv3 compliance capability ?

Please accept my apologies as i'm too new to project and trying
to learn more about things.


thanks
Saifi.
