Green Hills Software to Present and Exhibit at Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2009

Green Hills Software, Inc., the world leader in certified safe and secure real-time operating systems (RTOS), will participate in a variety of activities next week at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, California. At booth #822, Green Hills Software will demonstrate its latest embedded software solutions.

Green Hills Software speakers will present:

Topic: PHASE: Defense Against the Dark Arts

When: Tuesday (March 31, 2009) 8:00am -- 9:15am

Where: San Jose Convention Center, room A8 - Aerospace and Military track

Who: David Kleidermacher, Chief Technology Officer, Green Hills Software

Synopsis

This session introduces PHASE: Principles of High Assurance Software Engineering, a practical methodology that developers can apply to create software that is far more robust than most commercial software. PHASE has been used in systems that have passed the highest level for aviation safety certification (DO-178B), the highest level for industrial safety certification (IEC-16508), and the highest level of security certification (Common Criteria - ISO/IEC 15408).

Topic: Anatomy of an EAL7 Security Certification

When: Wednesday (April 1, 2009) 1:45pm -- 2:45pm

Where: San Jose Convention Center, ESC Theater - Security track

Who: David Kleidermacher, Chief Technology Officer, Green Hills Software

Synopsis

A real-time operating system (RTOS) was recently certified to the highest Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) security level ever achieved for an operating system. This session will discuss the standard security specification, including its key functional and assurance requirements, against which the certification was performed, and how this standard compares to other security specifications prevalent in commercial software. The EAL7 process and methodologies will be instructional (and hopefully inspirational) for developers who want to design for a higher level of security and reliability.

Topic: Improving Security with MISRA C and MISRA C++

When: Wednesday (April 1, 2009) 8:00am -- 9:15am

Where: San Jose Convention Center, room A7 - Security track

Who: Greg Davis, Director of Engineering, Compilers, Green Hills Software

Synopsis

C and C++ are powerful programming languages, but they permit programming practices that may compromise the security and robustness of your code. MISRA C and C++ are a collection of rules and development guidelines that define a subset of the C and C++ programming languages that are simpler, easier to understand, and, most importantly, more reliable. This session will provide an introduction to MISRA C and C++ and how to selectively apply them to maximize the security of your code.

Green Hills Software will offer, in booth #822, a wide range of interesting presentations and demonstrations, including:

--  Platform for Secure Networking - a comprehensive platform based on the
    certified secure INTEGRITY® RTOS and consisting of: secure
    virtualization, advanced file systems, dual TCP/IP v4/v6 host and routing
    stack, web server, SSH, SSL, IPSec, wireless communications and security
    software, Layer 3 routing and management software, USB, and development
    tools that enable developers to create secure, powerful, high-throughput
    connected devices with maximum availability in the least time and at the
    lowest cost. This Platform will be demonstrated on a Fulcrum Microsystems
    "Vegas" reference platform.
--  Platform for Medical Devices - incorporates the safety-certified
    INTEGRITY® real-time operating system, a broad range of middleware
    including communications protocols and graphics, as well as an integrated
    tool suite that addresses software developers' needs throughout the medical
    device software development process. INTEGRITY is available with complete
    software lifecycle data and supporting evidence for use during the FDA
    approval process, and has been used in Class II and Class III devices. This
    platform will be demonstrated on the Texas Instruments Zoom(TM) OMAP35x
    development kit.
--  The Wi-Fi reference platform incorporates low power 802.11 a/b/g
    connectivity along with the latest Wi-Fi security protocols approved by the
    Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) will be demonstrated
    on the Atmel AT91SAM9263 development platform with the Atheros AR6001 radio
    module. Additional protocol support for this platform includes Wi-Fi
    Protected Setup (WPS) and Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX).
--  INTEGRITY PC(TM) will be demonstrated on a Dell E6500 laptop
    showcasing Green Hills Software's secure virtualization technology. This
    platform is able to host multiple guest operating systems while maintaining
    proven separation and security, and simultaneously hosting real-time-
    critical, safety-critical, and security-critical native INTEGRITY
    applications.
--  A representative from Software Acceleration, a division of Green Hills
    Software, will be available to discuss the company's proven methodology for
    optimizing software performance that significantly increases performance
    for products based on 32-bit or 64-bit microprocessors and compiled
    software languages such as C or C++. Software Acceleration is the only
    company that provides its customers a contractual guarantee that states, if
    the agreed upon software performance objectives are not met, the customer
    will not pay.
--  Representatives from Green Hills Software and RADVISION will be
    available to discuss the benefits derived from the integration of the
    RADVISION SIP protocol development suite with the Green Hills Platform for
    Secure Networking. The combination secures confidential content from
    malicious attacks and unwanted access by relying on the industry's most
    trusted real-time operating system, INTEGRITY, and supports the security
    policies and foundational architecture to prevent the wide range of attacks
    inherent to IP-based services while guaranteeing the required service
    quality.
