This talk will provide an overview of the seL4 microkernel and its ecosystem, as an introduction to anyone new to the community and to the seL4 summit, and as a refresher and update to existing players. The aim is that everyone is set to follow the rest of the event and contribute to discussions.
The talk will cover what seL4 is, why its formal verification and security properties make it a key platform for high-assurance systems, who is using and contributing to it across industry, academia, and government, and where it is being applied today. It will provide pointers to who to connect with and where to learn more.
