Prove & Run — Prove & Run has been created with the idea that large scale deployment of connected objects will become a target for remote cyber-attacks and that the technologies in use in the mobile industry were insufficient to answer to the challenge. When designing connected objects, security engineers can in effect rely on three pillars:(1) Secureelements or hardware coprocessors; (2) Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or secure OSs; (3) Hardware - or software-based hypervisors.In order to resist to sophisticated remote attacks, the last two need to be formally proven so as to be as close as possible to zero-bugs. This is what we have done at Prove & Run with ProvenCore, a formally proven secure OS and ProvenVisor a next generation secure hypervisor. In most cases using of single instance of ProvenCore on a given connected object will be sufficient to protect against hackers with multi-million dollar budgets.

OpenBCI — OpenBCI is a low-cost, programmable, open-source EEG platform that gives anybody with computer access to their brain waves. Their vision is to realize the potential of the open-source movement to accelerate innovation in brain science through collaborative hardware and software development. Behind the many lines of code and circuit diagrams,OpenBCI has a growing community of scientists, engineers, designers, makers, and a whole bunch of other people who are interested in furthering our understanding of the brain. We feel that the biggest challenges in understanding what makes us who we are cannot be solved by a company, an institution, or even an entire field of science. Rather, we believe these discoveries will be made through an open forum of shared knowledge and concerted effort by people from many different disciplines. Today, the leading brain-computer interface (BCI) companies distribute fixed devices with limited or closed access to the algorithms that translate raw EEG signals to meaningful data. These devices are powerful and effective for application development but not ideal for R&D requiring adjustable hardware setups and direct control over the signal processing techniques. OpenBCI is fully accessible and powered by an open-source community of hardware and software builders, making it easy for creators of any skill level and ideal for researchers who haven’t yet settled on the perfect system design. The OpenBCI platform is intended to serve as a malleable starting point in the rapidly growing field of brain-computer interfacing.
