Release of Astra Linux 1.8

Astra Group announced the next version of its flagship product, the eighth generation Astra Linux operating system, on August 1, 2024.

Astra Linux 1.8

According to the company, this version of Astra Linux is based on the Debian 12 (Bookworm) package base, a stable open source distribution with long-term support. This allows you to use applications and libraries that meet current customer requirements. The Astra Linux repository structure has been updated. They are now divided into two repositories - Main and Extended. Main includes components that have passed the full certification cycle, while Extended contains development tools and packages for building the Main repository, as well as additional application and system packages.

The eighth generation Astra Linux OS comes with an updated installation program that optimizes the system deployment process. It collects all the necessary parameters in one window and allows you to install in one click. The Live CD operating mode is supported, which makes it possible to familiarize yourself and evaluate the updated OS before installing it. Another useful addition for system administrators is that the process of updating Astra Linux 1.7 to version 1.8 is now automated. The user's home folder is saved, if an update error occurs, the process can be "rolled back" to a previous version.

Astra Linux 1.8

Astra Linux 1.8 uses kernels (Linux Kernel) of 6 versions. Instead of one version of the kernel, two branches will be available to users - based on the Linux 6.1 kernel (with long-term support), finalized taking into account the results of research by the Technological Center of the ISP RAS, which will be updated throughout the OS life cycle, as well as based on version (latest) 6.6 (with short-term support). The Linux 6.1 kernel version is aimed at users who are primarily focused on issues of stable operation and information security, since the ISP RAS under the leadership of the FSTEC of Russia, together with a whole consortium of developers, is doing a lot of work to find and eliminate vulnerabilities in the code, forming a set of secure cores on which domestic developers can build their solutions.

Based on the 6th generation Linux cores, Astra Linux offers advanced capabilities for developers and system administrators, including optimized virtualization and containerization support.

Astra Linux 1.8

Astra Linux 1.8 offers out-of-the-box recommended Information Security Configuration (IPS) profiles for various use cases. Earlier, Astra Group specialists had already developed detailed recommendations in the form of instructions for configuring the OS in accordance with various classes of system security, but the implementation of these settings required the manual work of the security administrator. In version 1.8, the next step was taken - these instructions are drawn up in the form of MPS profiles. Now it is enough to turn on the desired profile - and the necessary settings will come in line with the recommendations.

In addition, in order to implement the software environment limitation (dynamic software integrity control), it is now possible to use the certified CIPF CryptoPro CSP and digital signature verification key certificates issued by the certification center.

8th generation Astra Linux, like previous versions of it, is designed to process and protect any restricted information. Astra Linux 1.8 has successfully passed a set of tests in the certification system of SSI FSTEC Russia in the first level of trust.

An important change is the confirmation of the compliance of the protected database management systems () DBMS Astra Linux with the requirements of the FSTEC of Russia.

According to the results of Astra Linux 1.8 tests, the FSTEC certificate of Russia confirms its compliance with the information security requirements for several types of IPS at once: for operating systems, virtualization and containerization tools, as well as DBMS - for class 1 protection.

Astra Linux version 1.8 implemented an updated visual style called Astra Proxima. It features restraint, minimalist design, simple navigation and modern graphics. Despite the updated visual style, Astra Proxima retains its familiar user experience, providing a smooth transition from previous versions of Astra Linux.

Astra Proxima was designed to take into account the latest trends in UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) research. In the process of working on the style, both qualitative and quantitative methods were used, including user testing, focus groups with the participation of vendor customers and analysis of user behavior. All this helped to identify the key elements that are important for the comfortable interaction with the system, and adapt them in accordance with Russian standards and practices.

Apart from aesthetic changes, Astra Proxima brings many functional changes. Astra Proxima is used in all components of Astra Linux 1.8, ensuring the integrity and harmony of visual design. Also in the updated version of Astra Linux, a sound theme called "Star Minimalism" appeared, created with the participation of Roscosmos. This composition was created from the "voices" of real space objects.

The release of the updated version of Astra Linux is a significant step forward for the Astra Group and all our customers. The visual style of Astra Proxima, which now adorns our OS, thanks to its aesthetic and functional properties, makes it easier for users to switch to it from Windows, which makes the eighth generation version of Astra Linux even more convenient in terms of user experience. stated Anton Shmakov, Technical Director of Astra Group

"Star Minimalism" sound theme in Astra Linux 1.8

Astra Group"" On July 26, 2024, it presented an updated version OS of Astra Linux 1.8, in which the sound theme "Star Minimalism" will appear - an image created from the "voices" of real space objects. The space outside the earth's atmosphere is filled with different types of radiation: for example, during the pulsation of neutron stars, electromagnetic vibrations periodically occur. Experts Roskosmos transformed data the waves into human-audible sounds, which were subsequently used in the updated Astra Linux OS as musical accompaniment.

The co-authors of the music were the employees of the Astra Group: they were involved in the processes of arranging the "voice" of space and its integration into the code, which is executed at the start of the operating system, completion of work, receipt of notifications, etc. The importance of sound accompaniment in the OS increased greatly when people massively switched to remote work and faced many distractions. In this situation, the user, for example, is important when receiving a letter or other event in the system to hear an alert and recognizable signal that does not merge with "white noise." Now this feature is implemented, in addition, you can choose different sounds to start the OS, lock the desktop and other system messages.

The inclusion of such an audio sequence and functionality in Astra Linux is designed to make the platform as convenient as possible even in small things. This innovation will certainly give the product more personality and become one of its striking and memorable features.

To enhance the unity of style, the Astra Group designers created unique space-themed desktop wallpapers. In future updates, the vendor plans to develop this direction: add new sound themes and design elements.

At the moment, work on Astra Linux 1.8 is nearing completion, the release of the version is expected this summer. In addition to large-scale changes in the interface, other significant innovations will be implemented, and all together this will allow us to talk about a new generation platform. The OS is not only gradually being refined, as is usually the case with most IT products, but is being globally transformed: users will receive not only developed and relevant functionality, but also a new level of interaction with technologies.

We never stand still. In addition to the purely functional development of our products, we also pay great attention to the user experience and interface of solutions from Astra Group. Cooperation with Roscosmos in this regard will allow us to bring the flagship product to, literally, the space level, - said Alexander Gutin, Marketing Director of Astra Group.

Roscosmos emphasizes that partnership with a key IT developer is an important step in the popularization of the space industry, capable of inspiring new generations to study the universe and develop science.

Certificate of FSTEC of Russia for compliance with the requirements for the first level of trust

On April 8, 2020, Astra Linux GC of Companies, a Russian operating system developer, and the testing laboratory of JSC NPO Echelon announced the successful completion of the certification of the Astra Linux Special Edition special-purpose operating system release "Smolensk" version 1.6 according to the first level of trust in the means of technical protection of information and ensuring the security of information technologies in the certification system of the SSI FSTEC of Russia. The obtained certificate confirms the right to use Astra Linux Special Edition in information systems that process restricted information, including personal data, service, commercial and other types of secrets, including state secrets of the highest level of secrecy - "of particular importance."

In 2019, the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system was certified by the testing laboratory of JSC NPO Echelon in the certification system of the FSTEC of Russia in the 1st class of protection for information security requirements for general-purpose operating systems of type "A." In accordance with the requirements specified in the information message of the FSTEC of Russia dated March 29, 2019 No. 240/24/1525, and according to the Order of the FSTEC of Russia dated 30.07.2018 No. 131 and the Information Security Requirements approved by it, establishing levels of trust in information security tools and information technology security tools, " coming into force on June 01, 2019, the Astra Linux Special Edition special purpose operating system was to pass mandatory certification according to the strictest, 1st, level of trust.

In preparation for the certification tests during 2018-2019, the development infrastructure was significantly reorganized in Astra Linux GC: software procedures for supporting the life cycle of safe development (SDL) were created and implemented; with the involvement of experts of JSC NPO Echelon Institute of System Programming of the Russian Academy of , methods and means of verification and secure development were introduced, a trust stand was put into operation, within the framework of which the possibility of automated verification of software for potential errors by means of static and dynamic code analysis was implemented.

The reissued certificate No. 2557 confirms that the special-purpose operating system Astra Linux Special Edition release "Smolensk" version 1.6 fully meets all the requirements of the regulator up to the 1st level of trust and information protection class, inclusive, which ensures the legality of its use in IT systems of such customers as government bodies, state corporations and other structures working with information of any level of confidentiality and degree of secrecy.

The requirements of the FSTEC of Russia establish really strict standards for compliance with the safety and security of software. If during the development process the product does not have a quality control system and vulnerability detection tools, then it is impossible to pass certification by levels of trust. The higher the level (1st - maximum), the stricter the requirements and better investigated the product itself: more complex tools are used to check its program code, provide quick search, localization and elimination of the error. For quality control, we use unique scientific and technological solutions and tools both of our own development and obtained as a result of many years of partnership with the ISP RAS and JSC NPO Echelon. This is what allowed the Astra Linux GC team, in cooperation with experts from the testing laboratory of JSC NPO Echelon, specializing in integrated information security, to carry out a set of works and test tests for certification as soon as possible. - comments Peter Devyanin, chief researcher Astra Linux GC

Certification of information protection tools for compliance with the highest level of trust is a very rare occurrence in our country. The FSTEC of Russia has significantly increased the requirements not only for the SMT itself, but also for the processes of their development, as well as for test laboratories and the testing tools used by them. During the tests, experts from JSC NPO Echelon used not only proprietary tools, such as AK-VS 3.0, PIK-Echelon, AppChecker, but also third-party tools. I would like to express my special gratitude to the representatives of the Astra Linux GC for their assistance. Astra Linux Special Edition introduced AK-VS 3.0 software, which allows you to automate all checks determined by the requirements of the regulator, which significantly reduces the time for testing, - notes Sergey Troshkin, Director of the Certification and Testing Department of JSC NPO Echelon

Integration with CryptoPro CSP

On March 30, 2020, the Astra Linux group of companies announced the inclusion in the functionality of the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system of an electronic signature service (EP), developed jointly with CryptoPro. The specialists of both companies have completed a set of work on the integration of the CryptoPro CSP crypto provider and Astra Linux software in order to provide users of the operating system with an intuitive graphical interface for creating and verifying enhanced qualified electronic signature of documents. The integration is carried out with respect to the suite of office and graphical desktop applications included in the operating system so that the user can easily, easily and quickly use the capabilities of, for example, a file manager to solve the problem of previewing an electronic document and then checking or creating an electronic signature.

Within the framework of the project, special work was organized, the results of which are aimed at confirming the legal significance of using the software tools included in the operating system that interact with the cryptographic information protection tool to create and verify an electronic signature.

The use of electronic signature is regulated by the Federal Law of 06.04.2013 No. 63-FZ "On Electronic Signature." It establishes the types of electronic signatures, the rules for their issuance and use, as well as the recognition of the legal force of signed documents.

Now the electronic signature is widely used in the interaction of state bodies, legal entities and individuals in legally significant electronic document management, with participation in public procurement, for reporting and in many other cases. The scope of her appeal is constantly growing. Everyone who regularly deals with electronic document management should highly appreciate our refinement, including because EPs can now be created and checked directly from the file manager without connecting to the EDMS. The service is really relevant for a wide range of users, - notes Roman Mylitsyn, Director of Innovation, Astra Linux GC

In addition to solving the problems of forming and verifying an enhanced qualified electronic signature, the service allows you to solve the equally important task No. 63-FZ "On Electronic Signature" for visualizing the signed document, showing the person creating the electronic signature the content of the information, the signing of which is carried out, as well as providing other important related information. - notes Pavel Lutsik, Director of Sales and Business Development at CryptoPro
