Preliminary design of the SAFE platform. In
Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Programming Languages and Operating Systems (PLOS 2011). ACM, Oct. 2011.
ABSTRACT — Safe is a clean-slate design for a secure host architecture,
coupling advances in programming languages, operating
systems, and hardware, and incorporating formal methods
at every step. The project is still at an early stage, but we
have identiï¬ed a set of fundamental architectural choices
that we believe will work together to yield a high-assurance
system. We sketch the current state of the design and
discuss several of these choices.
Proving an operating system correct down to the hardware specification and against a threat model
does seem to demand
new programming languages and higher-order constructive type theory.
