I want to compare SELinux and Grsecurity, so I search it in google, and got a doc. I found something may out-of-date in this doc, anyone could help me to points to it, or anyone could help me to find a uptodate doc about compare SELinux and Grsecurity?
Thank you very much~~~

the doc I found:
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~jcg8f/GrsecuritySELinuxCaseStudy.pdf


and the HTML version of it(google convertion):

It's out of date (for an older 1.9.x), and much of the methodology was flawed (even though grsec did come out on top in most of the tests). I don't know if the paper will be updated, though I did send a response to the authors some time ago.

If the SELinux is powerful than Grsecurity on MAC ?
I think SELinux and Grsecurity is same powerful on MAC, what about you?
I am writing a suggestion report about add a kernel security patch to the Linux Distro of our company.
