Title: How do you secure 100 million laptops? A security model for the One Laptop per Child

Abstract:
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit organization aiming to redefine learning and education for the world’s children by providing each child with a specially- developed, innovative and low-cost laptop. More than 5 million laptops will reach children in developing countries this year, with another 50-100 million in the next two years. The scale of the deployment, the laptop’s unique hardware and software stacks, and a target user group as young as 6 all present some extremely difficult challenges in providing a secure user experience. We present Bitfrost, an integrated security platform for the OLPC XO laptop designed to address these challenges.
