On a competitor's FAQ I found this little gem:
"In a secure processing environment it is important to keep the code size, and hence the 'attack surface' as small as possible."
At the surface, this looks like our TCB size matters argument (and small is beautiful in this case). But we tend to talk about the TCB ...

I am pleased to announce that OK Labs is extending our global reach with the opening of a European headquarters based in Paris (that’s France, not Paris, Texas). This marks an important milestone for OK Labs and adds to our capabilities for winning targeted accounts in the mobile/wireless market.

2. OK Linux performance on IA-32
With OKL4 2.1, we've released a series of additional performance optimizations to OKL4 and OK Linux on ia32 architectures. And by additional improvements I really mean freakin' huge optimizations. This baby flies compared to the achieved performance of OKL4 1.5.
To give you a taste, ...

1. POSIX on OKL4
OKL4 introduces a lightweight POSIX layer implemented directly over the high-performance ...

Earlier this year I presented at the linux.conf.au embedded miniconf, about how to port OKL4 to a new SoC. The video was taped and had until recently been available on the linux.conf.au 2008 website, but for some reason that website has gone awol, so I thought it was a good time to put up my own copy. These videos have ...

A lot of people on the developer's mailing list have been asking for this video, so I figured we'd post it again.

You would think after a few hundred flights and around 300,000 miles the wonder of flying would have worn off. And to a very large extent it has. There is nothing magical or exciting being stuck in a cramped narrow seat for 12 hours, but there are definitely times when you can't help but be amazed where technology and ...

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 access ...
