Home The SAFE Platform Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Programming Languages and Operating Systems (PLOS 2011). ACM, Oct. 2011. ABSTRACT — Safe is a clean-slate design for a secure host architecture, coupling advances in programming languages, operating systems, and hardware, and incorporating formal methods at every step. The project is still at an early stage, but we have identiï¬ed a set of fundamental architectural choices that we believe will work together to yield a high-assurance system. We sketch the current state of the design and discuss several of these choices. Proving an operating system correct down to the hardware specification and against a threat model does seem to demand A. Dehon, B. Karel, B. Montagu, B. Pierce, J. Smith, T. Knight, S. Ray, G.
