Safety Certification and Security » Video http://tech.opensystemsmedia.com/safety-and-security A couple things that are imperative in society and in just plain life – safety and security – are just as important in the embedded computing realm. From avionics to automobiles to spacecraft to the manufacturing plant, we all like to know we're safe from physical harm caused by mechanical equipment failures. In the avionics realm, electronics safety criticality is ensured by the FAA's safety certification standards called DO-178B and DO-254, for example. In the outside plant or central office, NEBS compliance is likewise vital. However, in the security-critical world, military Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and net-centric systems used by DoD Command and Control (C2) must be hack-proof to protect our soldiers' lives – and our national security. Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) and virtualization-scheme partitioning can be used to help prevent security infractions and work by invoking a separate partition for each application, thus separating applications with varying classification levels and providing users access only to the applications for which they are authorized. And lastly, though perhaps not necessary for all secure applications, Common Criteria certification additionally means the application has gone through rigorous security testing.

The COM Express module brings the processor bus and high-speed I/O out to a connector that installs on purpose-built carrier boards and provides application-specific I/O and external connectors.

Sealevel carrier boards are customized to meet all required system functionality in addition to the core features supplied by COM Express modules. Sealevel can include common I/O features such as serial, analog and digital I/O, all of which can be designed to the exact electrical and mechanical requirements for your specific application.

When an off-the-shelf product doesn’t meet your requirements, turn to Sealevel’s custom capabilities for expertise in electrical, mechanical, software, environmental stress screening, project management and compliance & certification.
