VEKOS is an experimental operating system written in Rust that focuses on verification and security at its core. This is the first alpha release (v0.0.1) that demonstrates the basic architecture and key features of the system.

Hobby and experimental operating systems written in Rust are not exactly a novel concept, but that doesn't mean each new one that comes up isn't cool. This one is still in its very early stages, but focuses on something quite interesting: every filesystem and memory operation is cryptographically verified using a proof system. It's already got basic file system operations, signal handling and a scheduler, a shell, and more.
