   Does not inspire confidence, if we were to look at what Microsoft did to Skype and all the mandatory telemetry they added in Windows 10.

   That is true, of course. However, the reviews offer a valuable, though noisy, signal: one star reviews uncover design issues with a product. A lack of one star reviews (like 100% five star reviews seen in some products) point to obvious ma

   This is a very surprising point of view. I hope you don't work with avionics, or nuclear power plant control software, or something that has a potential to inflict a lot of harm. You may not always foresee the requirements for 'c

    I wonder if there is a company that's really interested in developing a secure (by design) operating system. Apart from you-know-who?

    Wow, I was going to comment "IoT, the 'S' stands for 'security'", but this is about VxWorks, a battle proven (literally) RTOS. This illustrates a point that now, in 2019, there is literally no OS designed for s

    Thank you. Let's say we want to create a CAN bus which makes it impossible to listen to / inject non-authorized input even when the adversary has physical access to the bus. This means encrypted traffic and a (possibly shared) key
