SOURCE & TRANSPARENCY

Transparency you can verify. Innovation we can protect.

Obris SecureOS builds on open source foundations. We publish the material people need to understand what they are trusting, meet applicable source and attribution obligations, and verify authentic releases without publishing every Obris developed commercial implementation.

Our trust model combines open upstream foundations, documented security architecture, release verification and independent review of proprietary Obris security components.

01 · OPEN FOUNDATIONS

Start with code that is already open.

Obris SecureOS is derived from GrapheneOS and the Android Open Source Project. Those projects remain the upstream foundation. Obris maintains its own modifications and product integration on top.

UPSTREAM

GrapheneOS

Security and privacy hardened Android forms the upstream operating system foundation for Obris SecureOS.

UPSTREAM

Android Open Source Project

AOSP provides the underlying Android platform and the open source components on which the operating system is built.

COMPLIANCE

Licences & attribution

Obris tracks component licences and publishes source, notices and attribution where an applicable licence requires it.

References to GrapheneOS describe the upstream technical foundation and do not imply that Obris SecureOS is an official GrapheneOS product.

02 · WHAT WE PUBLISH

Evidence you can check without receiving our commercial source tree.

Trust should come from concrete artefacts, not a broad claim that everything is open source.

01

Required source & notices

Source code, licence notices and attribution are made available where the applicable component licence requires distribution.

02

Security architecture

Document the security boundaries, supported devices, Security User model, YubiKey workflow and the responsibilities of each Obris layer.

03

Release identity

Publish release identifiers, supported device information, security patch information and the public material needed to identify an authentic release.

04

Hashes & signatures

Provide cryptographic hashes and public verification information so downloaded release artefacts can be checked independently.

05

Changelog

Describe security relevant changes and fixes without exposing credentials, private infrastructure or anti abuse controls.

06

Dependency inventory

Build toward a maintained component and dependency inventory, including an SBOM where it provides meaningful verification value.

03 · PROPRIETARY OBRIS TECHNOLOGY

Not every Obris component needs to be public to be reviewable.

Some Obris developed technology is commercial intellectual property. We can protect that implementation while still giving qualified independent reviewers controlled access to evaluate its security properties.

Protected commercial implementation

Proprietary components can remain outside public repositories. That includes technology where publication would disclose Obris implementation details without materially improving a customer's ability to verify an installed release.

  • Obris specific commercial implementation details
  • Subscription, entitlement and customer service logic
  • Backend orchestration and operational tooling
  • Fraud, abuse and internal monitoring controls
  • Infrastructure configuration and deployment systems
TRUST WITHOUT PUBLICATION

Independent review under controlled access.

The intended model is to let an independent security firm inspect selected proprietary security critical components under appropriate confidentiality terms, then publish the audit scope, reviewed version, findings and remediation status.

Independent Obris review programmePlanned — no completed audit is claimed on this page.
04 · VERIFY A RELEASE

Connect the documentation to the software you actually install.

For each production release, the goal is to publish a compact verification record that ties the documented release to its downloadable artefacts.

04MatchConfirm the release identity and documentation.
05 · WHAT NEVER BELONGS IN PUBLIC SOURCE

Transparency does not mean publishing authority or credentials.

Private signing material and operational credentials are not source transparency. Publishing them would reduce security rather than increase trust.

06 · TRANSPARENCY ROADMAP

Trust claims should have visible status.

We will distinguish between what is available now, what is being prepared and what remains a future security assurance milestone.

AVAILABLE / REQUIRED

Upstream source, licensing and attribution

Maintain access to upstream source and satisfy applicable source and notice obligations for distributed components.

IN PROGRESS

Obris release verification records

Standardise release identifiers, hashes, signature information and source references for production SecureOS releases.

PLANNED

Independent security review

Commission qualified third party review of selected proprietary security critical components and publish meaningful results.

THE OBRIS TRUST MODEL

Open foundations. Transparent architecture. Audited proprietary innovation. Verifiable releases.

That model gives customers evidence about the security of Obris products while preserving the commercial implementation that differentiates them.
