Wind River Introduces First Embedded Linux Operating System to Be Accepted for EAL4+ Certification

Wind River announced that Wind River Linux Secure, a secure embedded Linux, is in evaluation by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) to be certified to Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+), conforming to the General Purpose Operating System Protection Profile. In addition, Wind River Linux Secure is officially listed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a cryptographic module accepted for evaluation to the FIPS 140-2 standard. Wind River Linux Secure is expected to be available in the first half of 2011 pending certification completion.
“Wind River is committed to delivering software designed to comply with national security criteria to meet diverse customer needs,” said Chip Downing, director for aerospace and defense at Wind River. “As the first and only commercial Linux vendor to produce an embedded Linux solution in evaluation to Common Criteria EAL 4+, Wind River will be providing customers with a wide choice of hardware platforms for secure applications such as military communications and software-defined radio systems. Additionally, with security mandates and tighter regulations on the rise across industries, the potential to use embedded Linux in secure solutions for networking infrastructure, energy and medical systems is tremendous. ”Upon certification completion to Common Criteria EAL4+, Wind River Linux Secure is expected to be the first commercial embedded Linux operating system accepted by NIAP, enabling Linux to be deployed securely on hardware from multiple vendors, including Freescale, Intel, and Texas Instruments Incorporated. The certified open standards platform, with full traceability to source code for all Linux modules, will provide greater flexibility, interoperability and transparency in developing secure software systems, resulting in faster time-to-market and lower development costs.
