In the recent news,
http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-03/sunflash.20080313.1.xml

NSA and SUN announces a new project launched which tries to port FLASK
security architecture, it is named as FMAC.
It can be a good candidate to host multilevel database security.
(SELinux is also based on FLASK security architecture.)

SEBSD project is also known. It is a poring of SELinux into BSD platform. SEBSD: http://www.trustedbsd.org/sebsd.html
