open source operating system . It is a pure capability-based system that features automatic persistence of data and processes, even across system reboots. Capability systems naturally support theprinciple of least authority , which improves security and fault tolerance.CapROS is an evolution of the EROS system. While EROS was purely a research system, CapROS is intended to be a stable system of commercial quality. CapROS currently runs on Intel IA-32 and ARM microprocessors.
CapROS is being developed by Strawberry Development Group with funding from the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency . The primary developer isCharles Landau .History
