LynuxWorks and Arxan partner to provide anti-tampering embedded software

LynuxWorks and Arxan Defense Systems are partnering to provide system integrators with anti-tampering solutions for their specific program's security and anti-tamper requirements. Built to work on LynuxWorks' LynxOS real-time operating system (RTOS), Arxan's EnforcIT platform enables application hardening solutions, allowing developers to protect code against tampering, reverse engineering and other attacks.

Arxan's anti-tamper platform EnforcIT family includes software and hardware protection products. Arxan supports software configurations such as desktop and embedded software written in ADA, native C/C++ and managed (.NET) C/C++/C# languages.

"Protecting our nation's most vital software and hardware assets from tampering and code lifting is an essential step towards preserving national security and intellectual property," said Rich Earley, vice chairman and CEO of Arxan Defense Systems. "Arxan is pleased to empower developers with strong fortification capabilities for LynuxWorks' real-time operating systems and provide them with a complete anti-tamper solution."
