Tock is an open-source operating system for low-power ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers that enables radically different kinds of embedded and IoT products.

In typical embedded systems, every line of code is fully trusted because embedded operating systems lack traditional isolation mechanisms like processes. Unfortunately, this makes developing secure products difficult, and running third-party applications virtually impossible.

Tock uses a language sandbox in the kernel and a process-like hardware enforced mechanism in userspace to isolate third-party and other untrusted code in the system.

In this presentation I'll introduce Tock's vision for IoT and how its isolation mechanisms work. Then, I'll use examples of deployed systems and products using Tock to show how developers can use it to build more secure and extensible IoT systems today.
