Kylin (operating system)
Kylin is an operating system developed for the Chinese military. Based on FreeBSD[1], it is said to be more secure than other server software, and was introduced in 2007.
The Kylin system is compatible with mainstream operating systems and supports multiple microprocessors and computers of different structures.
According to reports in the west[2], the purpose of the new OS is to hinder advances of competing countries in the cyberwarfare arena. Kylin has been deployed in military and sensitive government organizations since 2007. According to a US report from Kevin Coleman, a private security specialist, the Chinese have also developed a secure microprocessor that, unlike US-made chips, is known to be hardened against external access by hackers or automated malicious software.
