CambiOS: A Rust-based, microkernel operating system designed for formal verification, featuring sovereign identity and zero-trust principles. It boots in QEMU across x86_64, AArch64, and RISC-V architectures. Processes are assigned unforgeable cryptographic identities, and IPC gates restrict access to only allowed endpoints.

An ambitious, secure, intuitive, and open alternative to existing operating systems like Windows. It aims to eliminate latent security issues, corporate surveillance, and centralized identity/data hosting, positioning itself as a 'sovereign identity, zero-trust OS.'
The operating system landscape is burdened by legacy systems with inherent security and privacy vulnerabilities. CambiOS directly challenges this by proposing a Rust-based, microkernel OS built on zero-trust and sovereign identity principles. This represents a fundamental shift towards a more sec...
