China deploys secure computer operating system
China has installed a secure operating system on government and military computers, according to Washington Times.
The new system, called ‘Kylin’, is designed to be impenetrable to foreign military and intelligence agencies, the report said.
The existence of the secure operating system was disclosed during recent US congress hearings on how China’s government is preparing to wage cyberwarfare with the United States.
Security experts said Kylin’s deployment is significant because it has “hardened” key Chinese servers. The system is known to have been under development since 2001 and the first Chinese computers to use it are government and military servers that were converted beginning in 2007.
The newspaper said US offensive cyberwar capabilities have been mainly focused on getting into Chinese government and military computers outfitted with less secure operating systems like Microsoft’s Windows.
China also developed a secure microprocessor that is known to be hardened against external access by a hacker or automated malicious software, according to US security experts.
