Our work
We develop and maintain four infrastructure projects for vital systems, and we run two ecosystem initiatives.
Infrastructure projects
Time synchronization
Reliable, securely synchronized time is a building block for the Internet and other critical infrastructure.
Automated Demand Response
With the rise of renewable energy resources and ongoing electrification, automated demand response plays a crucial role in optimizing the use of our electricity grid.
Data compression
Compression algorithms are used in a vast number of protocols and file formats throughout all of computing.Implemented in C, these libraries encounter regular security issues despite receiving extensive industry-wide scrutiny.
Privilege boundary
The sudo and su utilities mediate a critical privilege boundary on almost every open-source operating system that powers the Internet.
Ecosystem projects
Making Rust faster than C
Our mission is to make critical infrastructure software safer. For that to happen in all relevant areas, performance considerations must be removed as a blocking counter-argument to the memory safe language Rust.
Education - teach-rs
Teach-rs is a university course for computer science students, introducing the Rust Programming Language, and is available for anyone who wants to teach Rust.
