Under MTM+ Virtualisation
I picked up an interesting article on IT Knowledge Hub about VMware’s Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) and Open Kernel Labs’ criticism of it. What MVP does is summed up by this sentence: The new architecture instead adopts a hosted virtualization platform (a type-2 VMM) that runs on top of the native RTOS installed on the [...]

The site Mobile Dev and Design recently published an article describing a collaboration between Open Kernel Labs and Sirrix Security Technology to produce a secure mobile computing environment. The outline of the platform says: The joint prototype will run on readily available N900 mobile hardware and integrate the Sirrix Turaya Security Kernel (encryption, VPN, MTM/attestation, [...]

L4 and its variants is a popular microkernel that can be found in many places, including even right at the bottom of Google’s Android system. So, I was interested to read about a formal proof for seL4, after five years of work by Open Kernel Labs and NICTA, Australia’s Information and Communications Technology Research Centre [...]

This is a subject in which I have a lot of active interest, especially in relation to the Mobile Trusted Module and its associated Multi-Stakeholder Model. Open Kernel Labs’ OKL4 hypervisor has found its way into the two [...]

As someone whose particular interest in the Trusted Computing world is the mobile sphere, I found this story a sign of what may come – I remember the rumours about a TPM in the iPhone, so how long before we see a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) in an Android phone, either the rumour or the [...]

Open Kernel Labs have recently appeared on my personal radar – when you start looking at the connections between companies, consortia and projects it’s quite amazing what you find! – so I was naturally very curious to see what they were talking about in a recent post on Trusted vs. Trustworthy. Trust is often misunderstood [...]
