… via the portal http://sel4.systems. This site will start accumulating info through the next few weeks, please check there for updates (or subscribe to the mailing list). For those who haven’t heard about seL4: - it’s the latest L4 microkernel developed by NICTA. - according to the performance figures on http://l4hq.org, it’s the fastest L4 kernel around (let me know if you have performance data to contribute) - it’s the world’s first and only OS kernel with a formal security proof, extending from high-level statements of confidentiality and integrity enforcement all the way down to the binary - it’s proved functionally correct (i.e. bug-free implementation of the spec) - it’s the first and only protected-mode OS with a complete and sound timing analysis, and as such the only credible platform on which to do hard real-time in protected mode - it’s the foundation for DARPA’s high-assurance UAV project (http://trustworthy.systems/projects/TS/SMACCM/) … and it will soon be free!
