Joint initiative for Secure COTS Mobile Platform

Open Kernel Labs — March 2011

Joint initiative for Secure COTS Mobile Platform

OK Labs and Fixmo Inc.'s new joint initiative to create and commercialize a highly secure COTS mobile platform

  • Targets civilian, federal government, and military needs, and will culminate in a reference solution for tablet and smartphone OEMS that melds system software, firmware, and mobile virtualization for information assurance
  • The primary goal is to isolate the organization's apps and data from the operator's personal user stuff
  • The new initiative's progeny platform will include Fixmo's Sentinel security monitoring software running on an OKL4 Microvisor-based independent virtual machine to, once again, keep secure things separate on a single mobile device
  • The joint platform solution offers image profiling and tracking by checksums and size, in addition to handy-dandy activity auditing
