Demonstrates secure solutions with top commercial aerospace and defense suppliers
ARLINGTON, VA , July 13 , 2009—LynuxWorks™, Inc., a world leader in embedded software, today announced their participation and collaboration in the High Assurance Security Solutions Workshop and Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) demonstration with four of the top commercial aerospace and defense suppliers at the Object Management Group (OMG) Security Solutions Workshop.
A simulated combat search-and-rescue demonstration will show enemy jet fighter aircraft and missiles being identified and destroyed by systems from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Rockwell Collins. The event will show successful target execution and the safe recovery of downed pilots. The demonstration features the MILS architecture approach to information assurance which can use COTS products that are evaluated per the Common Criteria to achieve secure information sharing in a battlespace.

| Tuesday, July 14, 2009 9:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. | The Westin Arlington Gateway 801 North Glebe Road Arlington, VA 22203 |
During the workshop, LynuxWorks will also demonstrate LynxSecure 3.0, a next-generation separation kernel and embedded hypervisor designed to support MILS architecture for high-assurance systems. LynxSecure enables development of multi-level secure systems that process classified data at all levels simultaneously, including MLS displays, downgraders and guards, cross-domain systems, secure access for communities of interest, safe browsing, and secure office products. LynxSecure offers the unique ability to run fully virtualized guest operating systems, such as Windows®, simultaneously on the same hardware as para-virtualized operating systems such as Linux® or the LynxOS® RTOS family, with each operating system in its own secure partition.
“As the only secure hypervisor utilizing virtual technology and supporting multiple cores, LynxSecure is the undisputed performance leader in secure solutions for embedded and desktops systems,” said Steve Blackman, LynuxWorks Director of Business Development. “It provides a foundation to add security to legacy systems and reuse legacy Windows/Linux applications alongside real-time systems in a secure, multicore environment. Our automated correct-by-construction formal methods process reduces the time, risk and cost of high assurance which, along with our leading technology, is why it is being used by the Navy for its multi-level (EAL7) secure workstation on the CDS program.”
