AFCEA West, SAN DIEGO, CA—January 29, 2013—LynuxWorks™, Inc, a world leader in the embedded software market, will demonstrate at AFCEA real-time operating systems solutions for both safety-critical applications and secure multi-level workstations requiring isolation from malicious computing environments.
LynxOS-178 RTOS Designed for Safety-Critical Applications
The demonstration of LynxOS-178 RTCA/DO-178 certified RTOS will highlight its capabilities as the most open standards compliant and cost-effective solution for safety-critical certifications. Additional features include the latest development and debug tool suite and advanced ARINC 653 multi-partition analysis capabilities and features.
LynxOS-178 addresses system developers’ need to meet FAA certification by providing a time, space and resource partitioned commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) operating system that fully satisfies the objectives of the DO-178B/C, level A. LynxOS-178 was designed from the ground-up to support open standards conformance. Supported standards include ARINC 653, full conformance with the IEEE POSIX, as well as support for the FACE standard currently under development. At the present time, a systems integrator or developer wants to integrate components of any other RTOS, or any previously certified DO-178B/C software in multiple hardware environments, each new hardware/software configuration or system must be recertified. In other words, integrators and developers cannot take full advantage of the software’s existing certification across other multiple platforms, but instead must go through the entire certification process for each new system they build. The RSC acceptance letter from the FAA for LynxOS-178 can be used to support virtually any FAA Technical Standard Order.
LynxSecure Offers Unprecedented Multi-Level Security on a Laptop
A security solution that provides concurrent user access to three isolated thin-client sessions running on a single SINA Multi-level Workstation (MLW) from secunet Security Networks AG over a single network infrastructure to three separate Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) will also be demonstrated at AFCEA booth 1443.
The SINA MLW takes full advantage of the separation kernel security benefits offered by LynxSecure that provides a foundation to host a minimal component-based architecture with formally verified security components. The SINA MLW features multiple isolated bare-metal cryptographic engines for each security domain to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of information processed in each security domain. The SINA crypto engines utilize LynxSecure’s platform resource control capabilities to mitigate some of the most advanced threats posed on today’s multi-level solutions running on shared computing resources, such as crypto side-channel attacks and covert user data spill channels.
