Europe funds secure operating system research

“The €2.5 million (US$3.3 million) grant will fund three
researchers and two programmers, said Andrew S. Tanenbaum, a
computer science professor at Vrije Universiteit in the
Netherlands.

“Tanenbaum developed Minix, an operating system based somewhat
on Unix that has a small code base and implements strong security
controls.

“The latest grant will allow further research into a making the
operating system capable of fixing itself when a bug is detected,
allowing computers to be a more reliable, Tanenbaum said.”
