Company’s Request
The client asked us to develop a more robust and secure mobile operating system based on Android, which runs inside a Linux container (LXC).
Technology Set
Google Nexus 5 as a platform
Android Kernel
The Sirin Software team contributed to developing the SecureOS Proof of Concept (POC).
Key milestones achieved include:
- Porting LXC/cgroups kernel functionality.
- Transferring LXC user-space utilities from Linux to Android.
- Creating a minimal LXC image for Android OS.
- Efficiency: The system only boots up the kernel and initiates the guest Android OS within a container.
- Enhanced security: If the guest OS is compromised, the host OS remains unaffected, enabling an easy restart of a new guest OS instance.
- Improved Host Android OS: The system comprises a host Android OS enhanced with LXC/cgroups functionality.
