The inaugural OpenXT Summit brings together developers and ecosystem
participants for a 2-day conference in Fairfax, VA, USA on June 7-8, 2016. The
audience for this event includes kernel and application developers, hardware
designers, system integrators and security architects.
Released as open-source software in 2014, OpenXT is a development toolkit for
hardware-assisted security research and appliance integration. It includes
hardened Linux VMs that can be configured as a user-facing software appliance
for client devices, with virtualization of storage, network, input, sound,
display and USB devices. Hardware targets include laptops, desktops and
workstations.
OpenXT stands on the shoulders of the Xen Project, OpenEmbedded Linux and
Citrix XenClient XT. It is optimized for hardware-assisted virtualization with
an IOMMU and a TPM. It configures Xen network driver domains, Linux stub
domains, Xen Security Modules, GPU passthrough, Intel TXT, SE Linux, and VPNs.
Guest operating systems include Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. VM storage options
include encrypted VHD files with boot-time measurement and non-persistence.
The 2016 OpenXT Summit will chart the evolution of OpenXT from cross-domain
endpoint virtualization to an extensible systems innovation platform, enabling
derivative products to make security assurances for diverse hardware, markets
and use cases.
There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. For more
