FBI supplier puts finishing touches on secure Linux
Trusted Computer Solutions, which supplies secure applications to organisations such as the FBI, has built a secure version of Linux due for release in Spring 2005
Software company Trusted Computer Solutions (TCS) is currently beta testing a secure version of Linux, which will provide its customers with an alternative to Trusted Solaris to run its product line.
The company builds applications which allow information to be shared securely. Edward Hammersla, chief operating officer at TCS, told ZDNet UK that when the UK Ministry of Defense or NATO requires a piece of US intelligence, the data is often shared using TCS software. Its customers include the FBI, the US Defense Intelligence Agency and the US Office of Naval Intelligence.
