Rust is creeping into the Linux kernel - which could mean a major step forward for Linux security.
The Rust for Linux project, sponsored by Google, has advanced with use of a beta Rust compiler (as opposed to a nightly build), testing ARM and RISC-V architecture support, new Rust abstractions, and more. Torvalds reckons 'it might be mergeable for 5.14'.
Scorecards 2.0 , Google's new open-source security software program, can quickly tell you just how secure - or insecure - open-source software really is.
Google recognizes that before you can understand something, you need to measure it, and is bringing a way to measure security errors across open-source software programs.
The Internet Security Research Group - backed by Google's financial support - has provided prominent developer Miguel Ojeda with a one-year contract to work on Rust in Linux and other security efforts full-time.
To tackle the growing threat of attacks on the software supply chain, Google has proposed the Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts framework, or SLSA which is pronounced "salsa". Can Google's 'salsa' make life harder for supply chain attackers? Comment below - we want to hear what you think!
As the Linux Foundation's Zephyr Project celebrates its fifth anniversary, it has become apparent that addressing constrained device security challenges is more critical than ever. Luckily, the Zephyr Project is rising to meet these challenges. Learn how.
