Modular platform for secure real-time radio

Errors in hardware and software can result in serious security vulnerabilities in infrastructure-critical devices. Through such gaps, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and even modify it or alter or destroy the function of the devices. Unfortunately, bugs in hardware and software cannot be eliminated, and the number of bugs increases with system complexity. By using a modular operating system with appropriate isolation between components, the attack surface can be significantly reduced. For this purpose the Barkhausen Institut researches together with our partner Genode Labs GmbH on the integration of a modular operating system (Genode OS Framework) and a software-defined radio (SDR) on embedded hardware.
