hey it's Gary simcha from Andrew authority my arm techcon 2015 Californian I've come to the green hills boots talked to Joe hi Joe hey Gary how you doing I'm well thank you tell us a little bit but you're rollator greenhills sure I'm a director of platform solutions at green hills software I work with a lot of our silicon as well as software ecosystem partners to build reference platforms for different vertical markets so Internet of Things it's the buzzword we haven't really got much in the way of consumer products yet people still developing them but that's where you help them out because in the development stage now the fear is we don't want our fridges are microwaves are wearables all being hacked baby monitors security is being hacked and you've got some security systems some security solutions for people developing I o TQ tell me a bit about that sure security has been a very keen focus of green hills since we first created our integrity real-time operating system back in the mid-90s in fact some of the requirements for integrity when it was being created was something called orange be orange book level a1 which for government and defense systems was the highest level security standard at the time that is evolved into something called the international standard common criteria for security certifications and integrity is the only operating system in the world that's ever been evaluated to the highest level e al 6 plus the O'Neill places them in the world that's right wow yeah so you know we're very serious about security and we have architected things into integrity to enable the highest levels of security not only that but we also a few years ago formed a subsidiary company to focus on other areas related to IOT security and that is things specific to the Internet of Things as soon as you have a device on the internet of things of course it's communicating and so we have crypt embedded cryptographic toolkits as well as everything for managing secure communication authentication and the entire lifecycle of a device from the time it's manufactured and doing the key injection to the management of that device in the field and doing secure firmware over-the-air updates managing the certificates and and everything around security that's a complete lie so from men factoring through two when you throw it away you're covering the whole thing that's a great solution okay now you were telling me earlier you've got something for Android as well tell me a bit about that sure with our integrity real-time operating system ants and separation colonel we also offer a technology called multi visor and that provides a virtualization platform where we can host guest operating systems like linux or android and in fact we've done this in several different markets and the idea there is that you have a very rich ecosystem in something like android and you might want to develop you know like an IV I system using Android to take advantage of the App Store and everything that's good and great about Android but linux and android are not necessarily great for security and so we use these proven separation concepts in integrity to allow you to have that great user experience with android button migrate the security critical components over to be native integrity applications where we can keep them separate and secure and so that's another part of this whole thing is architecting the system to identify those security critical or safety critical components and move them over to be native integrity applications that sounds actually fantastic so it for real high levels security serious applications people could build their own bespoke system maybe a tablet or interface somehow usual stuff and it's completely secure that's right in fact we've done examples of mobile devices smartphones in the past we've done ivi systems medical devices so all of these different areas we've applied this technology to attain the highest levels of safety and security well that's just great Joe thanks very much for your time you're welcome Oh
