Congress -- MontaVista® Software, LLC, a leader in
Embedded Linux® commercialization, today announced it has been
selected by Ericsson to develop enhancements in MontaVista CGE7 to
make it an EAL4+ certification ready platform.
With datacenters rapidly standardizing on virtualization,
enhanced security is critical to meet evolving challenges and
standards for critical infrastructure. Common Criteria was
established to give enterprise, government, and carrier markets
assurance any certified security product is measured and verified
against an internationally recognized set of guidelines. Adding
technologies to enable CGE7 to be EAL4+ certification ready offers
the embedded industry an Open Source distribution that is expansive
in security features such as authentication, kernel crypto
libraries, identification, security policy management, and function
protection.

Guideline (STIG) and Common Criteria Operation System Protection
Profile (OSPP) for providing rapid security updates. In
addition, Virtual Server and Trusted Platform Module Protection
Profiles will be incorporated. Technologies such as Trusted
Platform Module, Trustzone, Trusted Execution Environment along
with SELinux, a standard feature in CGE7, are important enablers
for EAL4+ certification.

innovative, disruptive products such as Hyperscale Datacenter
System 8000," said Sanjay Raina,
MontaVista President. "Being able to certify to stringent
EAL4+ requirements is key to gaining traction in next generation
