Our work
We develop and maintain four infrastructure projects for vital systems, and we run two ecosystem initiatives.
Infrastructure projects
Data compression
Almost all content sent over the Internet undergoes data compression using algorithms like zlib and zstd.
Privilege boundary
The sudo utility mediates a critical privilege boundary on every open-source operating system that powers the Internet.
Time synchronization
Reliable, securely synchronized time is a building block for the Internet and other critical infrastructure.
Ecosystem projects
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.
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.
