You may like to start with some history.  I'd certainly recommend
some classics like the Saltzer and Schroeder paper "The Protection
of Information in Computer Systems" from 1975 IEEE Proceedings.
Also, reviewing Multics papers could be useful (there was a recent
paper re: Multics called "Thrity Years Later: Lessons from Multics
Security Evaluation" that's an interesting read).  The papers and
bibliographies for the SELinux work should give you more good reading
material <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/background.html>.  You may also
be able to find a few useful bits and bibliography entries from the LSM
papers on <http://lsm.immunix.org/lsm_doc.html>.

hope that helps,
