2023: PIX Robotics Compatibility

The company, PIX Robotics Russian developer solution ecosystems, and IT"" Baikal Electronics have completed compatibility tests for PIX and --M ecosystem software products ARMprocessor Baikal. As a result of testing, the vendors conducted mutual certification of all products of the PIX ecosystem and the Baikal-M ARM processor. PIX Robotics announced this on October 3, 2023.

The PIX Robotics team conducted a series of tests in which they collected distributions of server and desktop versions of PIX ecosystem products designed to work with the ARM processor architecture and taking into account the technological features of the Baikal-M processor. During testing, the correct operation of the PIX Master, PIX BI and PIX Process Studio server modules was checked, as well as the completeness of the features of the PIX Studio, PIX Agent and PIX Runner desktop applications.

According to the documentation, Baikal Electronics specialists tested the installation and operation of the basic functions of PIX software products on the Astra Linux operating system running on the Baikal-M processor. Testing has shown that all software products are installed and operated according to official instructions in the public domain, and do not require additional special settings and the involvement of a vendor, which means readiness for operation on equipment running Baikal-M processors.

A large number of our customers using different products of the PIX ecosystem are planning to switch to domestic operating systems and processors in 2024. The work carried out with Baikal Electronics gives us confidence that Russian customers will be able to calmly fulfill the tasks of import substitution and achieving digital sovereignty without compromising productivity and functionality, "said Kirill Serov, technical director of PIX Robotics.

Vendors make every effort to "make friends" between their products and their partners, since this allows us to comprehensively solve customer problems in import substitution projects. Baikal Electronics also continues to actively expand the ecosystem of Baikal processors. The result of our cooperation with PIX Robotics is a fully functional software and hardware stack that covers a wide range of business tasks, "said Andrey Evdokimov, General Director of Baikal Electronics JSC.

Baikal processors are now compatible with post-quantum cryptography. This will strengthen protection against cyber attacks

As it became known on June 17, 2022, Baikal processors are compatible with post-quantum cryptography. This should strengthen the protection of computer systems from cyber attacks.

As a representative of QApp (a developer of cybersecurity solutions based on quantum-resistant algorithms) told Vedomosti, the company tested its software on devices running on the Baikal-M processor and proved their compatibility.

Baikal processors are now compatible with post-quantum cryptography. This will strengthen protection against cyber attacks

Post-quantum cryptography solutions are built on a new class of asymmetric encryption algorithms that are resistant to attacks using both classical and quantum computers. By June 2022, at the global level, post-quantum pilots are launching Google and LG.

In Russia, a pilot using such technology has already conducted Gazprombank. According to a QApp spokesman, the company also made consulting and analytical projects for Bosch and SberTech. Today, post-quantum technologies are in demand among companies and organizations that work with data, whose life cycle is 5 or more years.

These can be financial, medical, genetic, personal data, state secrets, commercial secrets, etc., - explained the representative of QApp.

According to him, the compatibility of Baikal-M processors with post-quantum algorithms will increase the resistance to cyber attacks of end solutions, including the use of both existing classical and actively developing quantum computers.

As noted in QApp, the quantum threat is a new information security risk. As part of such attacks, attackers can gain access to data encrypted by traditional methods as a result of a cyber attack using quantum computing systems.^[1]
