Hello,
I am the maintainer of the Qubes + Whonix project...
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes
Which is the port of Whonix OS (think a more secure Tor proxied VM) to Qubes OS, which has upstream integration into the Qubes codebase now.
I am very interested in secure minimal kernels and hypervisors, and have been discussing these topics publicly and privately with other interested developers and investors recently.
And I am also positioning to bring development resources to low-level projects that can achieve a more optimal (and verifiable) secure TCB than bloated Linux-based systems, as Qubes Dom0 is currently based upon.
Actually being able to read through and know all the code that is running on a mission critical machine, a novel thought, huh. ;)
I am most interested in this Qubes blurb on the seL4 website...
https://sel4.systems/GettingStarted
"Qubes is an open source operating system designed to provide strong security for desktop computing using virtualisation to provide isolation. Qubes is based on Xen. seL4 is a much better fit for Qubes. The project is to port Qubes to seL4 (or develop an alternative Qubes-like system for seL4)."
I absolutely agree with this and would like to know more about what Qubes development project might already underway be in the seL4 community in order to consider the opportunity of providing some real assistance in the future.
What's the status of this seL4 Qubes port project and who can I get in touch with to talk more about accomplishing it?
Thanks! :)
