SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/17/2005 -- LynuxWorks™ Inc. today announced plans to team up with Arrow Electronics, Objective Interface Systems and Certicom to host a 12-city nationwide seminar on security for embedded systems. The seminar's objective is to inform and educate attendees on technological requirements in designing a secure embedded system.

The seminar will address a multitude of considerations when developing secure embedded systems, including information assurance and security, evaluation of assurance levels, certification artifacts and process, Rushby separation kernel model, encryption, and security issues within the operating system, middleware and networking environment.

"LynuxWorks and its partners understand the need and importance for maintaining the highest level of security in today's embedded systems," said Dr. Inder Singh, CEO and chairman of LynuxWorks. "As we add more intelligence to our embedded devices, we find that they are becoming increasingly integrated into our information technology infrastructure. Though system security is not a new concept, security-in-depth is a new paradigm that developers now need to address."

The series of seminars will kick-off on October 25, 2005 in Minneapolis followed with visits to Cedar Rapids, Boston, San José, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Maryland, St. Louis, Dallas, Chicago, Huntsville and Melbourne, Florida.
