I talked with Vishal Soni and Bryan Kelly from Azure/Caliptra. They are interested in learning more. Caliptra doesn’t have an OS and they will want one. They are positive on Rust. Vishal asked if he could meet with some of us for some technical discussions. I told them that our end goal is if Azure helped support the Tock Foundation, but we realize that’s a long way off and let’s first see if it would be a good fit for their needs. Bryan brought up an interesting point, which is patent trolls. It’s why their foundational security work is grounded in the Chips Alliance, which is under the Linux Foundation. Basically, nobody is going to sue the Linux Foundation. He said that they would be worried about whether patent trolls would come after Microsoft after they have incorporated Tock. Who would like to participate in a call with Vishal? It sounds like he’d already read a bit about Tock, and saw some ways that they might need changes (e.g., having multiple implementations of crypto primitives being exposed to user space). Phil
