L4.Sec Microkernel SpecificationThis site contains information on the Dresden proposal for a next generation microkernel: L4.Sec. L4.Sec is targeted to co-host user-level servers implementing security-critical functionality next to untrusted and potentially malicious software.
The main differences to prior L4 APIs is that L4.Sec addresses both
communication control and kernel resource management. The basic mechanism
of mapping and unmapping access rights to memory and io-ports has been
extended to a mechanism for donating and revoking access to all kernel
objects including thread, address spaces, communication endpoints and
kernel memory pages and now is the basic mechanism of access control.
