Understanding Fuchsia Security

Francesco Pagano, Luca Verderame, Alessio Merlo

Abstract

Fuchsia is a new open-source operating system created at Google that is currently under active development. The core architectural principles guiding the design and development of the OS include high system modularity and a specific focus on security and privacy. This paper analyzes the architecture and the software model of Fuchsia, giving a specific focus on the core security mechanisms of this new operating system.
