He wrote a paper on it available at www.lockeddown.net/secure.html I am currently editing his paper, basically to re-word, and add more technical detail. He was unable to tell me who he previously spoke to, so hopefully whoever gets this knows something about it. I would just like to know what the securelevels intended goals were and currently are. The general consensus on the usefulness of securelevel(or at least the lower levels of it), percieved problems, and any other technical or theoretical information you would/could provide.
