IEEE to Standardize OS Security Components

aster_ken writes "The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers has started work on a standard for securing operating systems, as a recognition that software security is 'limited by the operating systems that underpin them', the organization said yesterday. The standard, dubbed IEEE P2200, will address external threats and intrinsic flaws arising from software design and engineering practices."

System security is an evolutionary process, driven by virii, worms, and holes. Let's take this evolutionary process and make it more^H^H^H^Hless secure by only allowing a handful of security solutions. Scream out "AIEEE" when next your computer crashes.
