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.
