ABSTRACT:

Green Hills Software will present their new “Designing a Secure Laptop for the FBI” tech talk. The talk is about how a small group of newer Green Hills Software engineers designed and built the world’s first secure laptop, with the FBI being the first customer. They will use this project to illustrate how design principles of simplicity and separation are imperative for security. As you can imagine, it’s a challenging problem and they are excited to cover some of the solutions in this talk.
