… 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
… and it will soon be free!
