KataOS is more secure

Search engine outfit Google has shown off its KataOS, a new secure operating system for embedded open-source RISC-V chips.

Google's KataOS is written "almost entirely in Rust” which removes entire classes of bugs, such as off-by-one errors and buffer overflows.

The project's GitHub page emphasises that KataOS and its umbrella project name, Sparrow, "are a work in progress."

The company said it wanted to build a secure platform that's optimised for embedded devices that run ML applications.
