    Green Hills sets up business to drive embedded security

    Green Hills Software has created a business unit to secure softawere tools and services for the embedded and networking markets.

    Called Integrity Security Services (ISS), the business unit will sell toolkits supporting the supplier’s EAL6+, High Robustness NSA-evaluated and NIAP-certified real-time operating systems.

    "Our Customers are requesting high assurance security solutions as one of their top priorities," said Dan O'Dowd, CEO of Green Hills Software.

    "With Integrity Security Services solutions and our multi-level secure Integrity-178B EAL6+ certified operating system technology we will be able to secure all layers of all embedded devices," said O’Dowd.
     
    The toolkits are based on the Green Hills proprietary Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant Cryptographic Toolkit.

    The ISS Cryptographic Toolkit meets the latest government standards and also provides the underlying FIPS-compliant cryptographic primitives for use with a range of security protocols.

    The toolkits are designed to be scalable and certifiable by the US Government.

    Support is available for Windows, Linux, VxWorks, Integrity, Integrity-178B and general-purpose operating systems on ARM, Intel, Power Architecture, MIPS and other processor architectures.

    With the spread of internet connectivity, the company sees a growing need for secure software platforms in embedded systems for the industrial, aerospace and autromotive markets.

    “Every new connected device will be identified with a unique IP address that becomes a target to be spoofed and attacked,” said Green Hills.

    “Embedded devices in the automotive, aerospace and defense, industrial control, medical device, mobility, consumer electronics and networking markets will all be connected in some way,” added the company.

    The Integrity and Integrity -178B operating systems will be offered with an ISS toolkit and will have authenticated security software around it to provide the necessary levels of security.
