Transition to the domestic version of the kernel

On June 27, 2022, it became known that three certified domestic countries operating systems began to use kernel Linux 5.10, supported by the Linux Kernel Security Research Technology Center, created in 2021 on the basis. Institute of System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ISP RAS) The statistics were shared by the head of the second department of the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (), Russia FSTEC under whose auspices the center was created,. Dmitry Shevtsov

We analyzed the current state of affairs: how many certified operating systems we have, how many certified information protection tools, which operating systems are at what stage of development, and which cores are used - said Shevtsov. - We also found out if they switched to the kernel chosen as the main one. Not a bad trend: about three certified OSs run on the 5.10 core, chosen as the base.

So, they switched to the Alt 8 SP, Red OS and Osnova core. By the beginning of 2023, the kernel will be installed Astra Linux Special Edition, Rosa Cobalt, Synthesis M, Zircon 37k. By the end of 2023, the developers of the EMIAS OS and AlterOS operating systems plan to transfer their products to the Linux kernel recommended by FSTEC. The Aurora OS is ready to move, but the timing depends on the manufacturers of the hardware platforms.

As for network security tools, the situation is worse here - developers need time to switch to the Linux kernel, - said Shevtsov.

So, until the end of 2022-2023. the transition is planned by firewalls "Continent. Version 4, "Nama Edge," C-terra gateway, "Mirada network security system and 13 other solutions.

As Dmitry Shevtsov specified, migration to the Linux 5.10 kernel is carried out as part of a course to develop its own technologies, which can be relied on in a critical information infrastructure.

Traditionally, the information protection system was built on the principle of superimposed information protection tools, - recalled the representative of the FSTEC. - We took imported OSs, developed access control tools for this, that is, we actually covered the system with various layers of protection. However, untrusted system software was used inside the system. About 10 years ago, the course began to change. Now the trend is towards the use of certified trusted technologies, certified operating systems, virtualization and containerization tools, certified database management[1] systems[2].
