Creating an Association

The Тайзен.ру Association was created in October 2015 to develop, develop and improve domestic operating systems and platforms, software products and devices based on the use of Tizen OS technologies, TAdviser was told by Elvis-Plus, which became one of the members of the association.

The Association will pay special attention to the issues of ensuring the security of information in accordance with the requirements of the FSB of Russia and the FSTEC of Russia, they add to Elvis-Plus: "This will allow the use of OS, software and devices in a wide range of information systems" in state institutions, in enterprises with critical process control systems, in commercial companies, as well as private individuals.

We need castomized OS options that are fully developed in Russia, "a representative of another association member company told TAdviser

Members of the association "Тайзен.ру" will try to interest Gazprom and its subsidiaries with their developments

The Tizen system was created by the South Korean corporation Samsung as an open source project based on Linux. As of October 2015, in addition to Samsung, Intel, Huawei, LG, NTT DOCOMO and others are participating in the development of the project.

According to the interlocutor of TAdviser, members of the Russian association intend to maintain contacts with the world association Tizen.

The association is headed by Andrei Tikhonov, ex-head of the Russian division of Samsung Enterprise Business Team.

As of October 2015, the founders of the association were the following companies:

• Scientific and Testing Institute of Integrated Security Systems (NII SOKB)
• Informzaschita
• Elvis-Plus
• InfoTEX (Infotecs)
• New Cloud Technologies
• Institute of System Programming (ISP RAS)
• SPB TV
• Group T1
• Programs-Service (Reutov)
• Smart Capital
• Orion (Krasnodar)

The main developer of the domestic OS based on Tizen is the Research Institute of SOKB, the creator of the MDM solution SafePhone for the protection, administration and audit of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets).

This research institute, among other things, is engaged in certification of computer equipment according to the requirements of Gazprom and is one of the major contractors of the gas monopoly in the field of information security.

One of the interlocutors of TAdviser knows about the plans of the SOKB Research Institute to transfer Gazprom employees to devices operating under Tizen OS.

In October 2015, SOKB Research Institute and its parent company Gazinformservice entered the ranking TAdviser PROFIT 50 "The most profitable IT companies in Russia."

Samsung Enterprise Mobility Forum, CEO of SOKB Research Institute Igor Kalaida, held in Moscow on October 15, 2015. The ^[2]Tizen's strongest side is openness and the possibility of its further development in terms of interface and security.

Working on this project, we saw quite a large potential of Samsung, as well as source codes, real developers, with whom we continue to work closely. We also saw the company's desire to take into account the peculiarities of national regulatory documents in terms of safety, "he added

Another member of the association, New Cloud Technologies, previously stated that it was preparing an office suite of MyOffice applications for working on devices with the Tizen operating system.

Elvis-Plus Plus told TAdviser that they plan to actively participate in the activities of the association, to promote their expertise, technologies and developments.

We will develop a line of our own software and hardware products and solutions to provide a trusted data processing, transfer and storage environment. It will include certified secure laptops, tablets and smartphones using paper machine and VPN/FW/IPS ZASTAVA solutions. These solutions will meet high mobility, data center, and cloud requirements. Elvis-Plus intends to develop the direction of technological partnership with cloud service developers and technology management solutions manufacturers to promote secure platforms based on Tizen OS

Attempt to receive funding from the Ministry of Communications

In June 2015, a consortium from the Research Institute of SOKB, the Russian representative office of Samsung, the Institute of System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Information Security Problems of Moscow State University applied to the Ministry of Communications for the creation of a mobile OS based on Tizen. The cost of the project was estimated at 1.23 billion rubles, of which about 65% was proposed to be financed by the state.

About 80% of the cost of the operating system is writing its core, said Igor Kalaida, director general of the SOKB Research Institute, to the Vedomosti newspaper. Taking the Tizen core as a basis, the partners intended to finalize it under Russian requirements - to create cryptographic libraries with Russian encryption standards, as well as libraries that implement protection against unauthorized access (for example, to protect data if the smartphone is lost, etc.).

Work on its own OS was planned to be carried out for 4-5 years, but the first version could begin to be used already in 2016, Kalaida said.

The partners also planned to create a national application store - mainly service ones, for corporate and government customers.

As of June 2016, the Ministry of Communications was not able to allocate money to support developers of import substitution solutions.
