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.

Privilege boundary

The sudo utility mediates a critical privilege boundary on every open-source operating system that powers the Internet.

Data compression

Almost all content sent over the Internet undergoes data compression using algorithms like zlib and zstd.

Ecosystem projects

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.

Making Rust faster than C

Our mission is to make critical infrastructure software safer. We must eliminate performance considerations as a barrier for adopting the memory safe language Rust in order to achieve this goal.
