Description: The domain type is a classification of domains in SELinux that defines their behavior and permissions. In the context of mandatory access control systems, a domain type refers to a set of rules that determine how processes and objects interact with each other. Each domain has a specific set of permissions that control the actions a process can perform on system objects, such as files, sockets, and other resources. This classification is fundamental for implementing security policies, as it allows administrators to define in a granular way which processes can access which resources, thereby minimizing the risk of security breaches. Domain types are used to categorize processes based on their function and trust level, facilitating security management in complex environments. Furthermore, the correct configuration of domain types is essential to ensure that security policies are effectively applied, protecting the system from unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
