Abstract
The paper presents the recently started project which aims to develop a secure environment for processing of restricted information. The solution being developed by the consortium employs virtualization to allow data from different security domains to be processed on the same physical machine. The system can host Windows and Linux systems as secured guest operating systems. The proposed implementation offers advanced user authentication techniques and cryptographic protection. The project is expected to reach technology demonstrator phase in late 2012.
