Development of a Multi-Instance Secure Mobile Environment Using OS Virtualization for Enterprise Devices

The client requires an advanced solution enabling users to switch seamlessly between multiple independent OS environments on a single device, ensuring strict isolation between corporate and personal data. Existing solutions lack flexibility, security, or ease of use, posing risks to data integrity and compliance.

A large research institution focused on cybersecurity solutions, aiming to enhance corporate device security through innovative OS virtualization techniques.

• Design and implement a system allowing switching between two independently operating instances of Android OS on the same device.
• Ensure secure isolation of business and personal environments through OS virtualization techniques.
• Develop a pilot prototype within a 6 person-month timeframe demonstrating the core functionality.
• Create a solution that sparks market interest, paving the way for commercialization with hardware partners.

• Independent operation of two Android OS instances on the same hardware.
• Seamless switching capability between the two OS instances without data leakage.
• Robust security measures ensuring environment isolation and data protection.
• Compatibility with mainstream hardware manufacturers for potential integration.
• Minimal performance overhead to guarantee user experience and device functionality.

• Hardware manufacturers for device validation and potential commercialization
• Security modules for environment integrity verification

• System must support switching within seconds to ensure usability
• Security standards compliant with enterprise and government data protection policies
• Scalability to support deployment on a wide range of devices and future updates
• Minimal impact on device performance and battery life

A successful implementation will demonstrate a secure, flexible solution for BYOD environments, attracting interest from major hardware manufacturers. It is expected to accelerate market adoption, potentially leading to integration into flagship devices, and establish a competitive edge in enterprise mobile security solutions.
