LynuxWorks Unveils LynxSecure Separation Kernel on Intel Virtualization Technology for Military and Avionics Applications

New RTOS to highlight secure partitioning, ability to allow multiple guest operating systems on a single chip for adherence to stringent security, safety concerns

LynxSecure 4.0 introduces symmetric multiprocessing guest operating system support, offering new performance highs when running multiple guest operating systems on the new multicore Intel Core i7 and i5 processors

LynxSecure highly secure virtualization technology and CoolShell blade server create a consolidated versatile platform for military applications.

Technology supports EAL-7 evaluation, integrates multiple applications at different security levels on a single piece of silicon and consolidates hardware for security and separation.

LynxSecure securely runs multiple guest operating systems—including Windows, Linux and RTOS—on new multi-core Intel Core processors

Intel Embedded Alliance recognizes LynxSecure for utilizing Intel's virtualization technology and allowing developers to fully leverage the power of multicore architecture.

Although LynxSecure is not specifically an anti-virus software or malware detection program, it does essentially "perform malware containment." In other words, if malware affects one operating system (OS) or real-time operating system (RTOS) running on one of the Intel cores, LynxSecure prevents it from infecting the other operating systems, he adds.

Intel Embedded and Communications Alliance cites LynxSecure separation kernel for its exploitation of virtualization and trusted execution technology

LynxSecure separation kernel and hypervisor simultaneously runs diverse guest operating systems and provides state-of-the-art, multilevel security functions and the ability to rapidly insert new capabilities, providing the Navy with the best, most cost-effective solution.
