“Bull SA announced today the upcoming release of an Open Source
license version of CDSA (Common Data Security Architecture) for
Linux. CDSA, adopted by The Open Group, provides a cross platform,
interoperable, extensible security infrastructure allowing the
development of security enabled applications in an Internet
applications environment.”
“Bull has been working closely with Intel to create an Open
Source package of this industry standard security framework.
“We are very excited to participate in this milestone event for the
security industry,” said Herve Mouren, president, infrastructure
and systems, Bull. “Bull firmly believes in the importance of Linux
and is prepared to add engineering resources to key Open Source
projects where necessary.”
“Bull was responsible for the world’s first Linux
implementation of CDSA in October 1999, launched as part of its
TrustWay security offer. “The Open Source decision and the
creation of a technical co-operation between Intel and ourselves
was a logical next step based on the Linux market evolution,” added
Mouren.”
