The Fraunhofer Institute for Angewandte und Integrierte Sicherheit (AISEC), headquartered in Garching near Munich and with branch offices in Weiden in der Oberpfalz and Berlin, supports companies from all industries and service sectors in securing their systems, infrastructures, products and offerings. The work within this project is performed by the Secure Operating Systems research department. One research focus of the department concerns all facets of operating system security. For Linux-based systems in particular, the research area’s scientists analyze and develop secure software architectures and techniques to protect system integrity, resilience and the isolation of critical components and data. Another research focus of the area is the security of hardware-related software development.
