What does SELinux mean?

Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a Linux kernel-specific security module that aims to improve the security of Linux kernel.
SELinux allows administrators to have more control over who can access the system. It provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies and is used to enforce the resource policies that define what level of access users, programs, and services have on a system.
