File system security

I've been attempting to follow the various discussions here for the last couple of weeks and I must admit I'm not having a great deal of luck. However, what drew me to the list was the idea of a Security Enhanced Linux. I was interested because of my involvement in the development of the Secure UDF (Universal Disk Format) file system. The UDF file system is most commonly found on DVD-ROM's but is designed to allow media (primarily optical) interchange among different operating systems. Some of the features included in Secure UDF are: access control based on various combinations of user, media, computer, and drive; logging of operations pertaining to a given file and/or directory; and data encryption. I can provide a more complete presentation on the features if anyone desires it. My question is whether or not there is a need for a secure file system in SELinux.
