Securing embedded systems during design with layered defense-in-depth protections is the only way to defend against a multitude of attacks with success.

This week’s product, the Star Lab Titanium Technology Protection solution, provides robust Linux system-hardening and security capability for operationally-deployed Linux systems. The solution’s capabilities have also been extended to support the KVM host, an open-source virtualization technology that turns Linux into a hypervisor. 

A dynamic root of trust measurement (DRTM) approach can greatly decrease the risk of exploitation of sensitive key materials used in defense and related applications. Failure to protect these implicitly trusted components can mean opponents interfere with the mission of the subsequent operational environment or expose sensitive key material, algorithms, or data. Including DRTM for measured boot on mission-critical systems is necessary for ensuring secure and uncorrupted data.

The National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program enables integrators to leverage two distinct CSfC-approved commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to protect classified data at rest or in transit. Prior to the introduction of CSfC, programs with classified data requirements had to either develop or use an existing Type-1 solution.
