If you read about computer security in the literature, you'll come a lot of discussion about various kinds of access-control policies. One particular policy that is becoming more and more mainstream, thanks largely to seLinux, is mandatory access control (or MAC for short). For all the talk that takes place about ...

We announced Secure HyperCell (SHC) technology without saying what it really is. You're excused for being a bit confused.
So, what is it? In a nutshell, it is an abstraction that includes fine-grained protection domain at one end, and complete virtual machines at the other, and combines this with mandatory ...

This is another question I get asked frequently (no, I'm really not making this up). Hardware support for virtualization, such as Intel's VT-x and AMD-V, will soon reach embedded processors (eg. ARM is rumoured to be working on something). What will this mean for embedded hypervisor technology, such as ...

We were in the Zone, the Disruption Zone at ESC Silicon Valley last week. We were in the Zone because our Secure HyperCell technology has the potential to change the competitive landscape. Being at our booth and talking with many of the participants was easy. The hard part of the Zone designation was presenting our ...

I'm in San Jose at the moment for both the CELF Embedded Linux Conference and the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC). (Which are conveniently scheduled at the same time, in different places!). I'm not quite sure how much of each I'll see. I'm ...

In a recent blog I compared Singularity with L4, explaining the fundamental difference in the two approaches and showed that L4 had a significant performance advantage. I promised a follow-up posting focussing on security, particularly as it related to the embedded-systems context.
Singularity is written in a modern, ...

I get asked this question a lot: what is the difference between a hypervisor and a microkernel? Frequently the question is accompanied by competitor-planted bullshit such as: isn't it better to use a hypervsior for virtualization, as it is secifically designed for that, while a microkernel isn't? But the question also ...
