Fast, Secure, Adaptable: LionsOS Design, Implementation and Performance

We present LionsOS, an operating system for security- and safety-critical embedded systems. LionsOS is based on the formally verified seL4 microkernel and designed with verification in mind. It uses a static architecture and features a highly modular design driven by strict separa- tion of concerns and a focus on simplicity. We demonstrate that LionsOS achieves excellent performance on system-call intensive workloads.

Automatic Verification of Message-Based Device Drivers

We develop a practical solution to the problem of automatic verification of the interface between device drivers and the OS. Our solution relies on a combination of improved driver architecture and verification tools. It supports drivers written in C and can be implemented in any existing OS, which sets it apart from previous proposals for verification-friendly drivers. Our Linux-based evaluation shows that this methodology amplifies the power of existing verification tools in detecting driver bugs, making it possible to verify properties beyond the reach of traditional techniques.
