China created the OS
China has developed its own operating system, Kylin, which is designed to ensure reliable and effective protection of the country's computer infrastructure against possible cyber attacks from the territories of other states.
According to reports, the introduction of Kylin in government organizations and military departments of China began in 2007, while the software platform itself has been under development since 2001. It is not entirely clear whether the Kylin OS was created from scratch — or it was based on certain components of other platforms.
Security expert Kevin Coleman (Kevin Coleman) notes that cyber attacks, developed by American programmers for computer networks based on Linux, UNIX and Windows, may be against Kylin simply useless. Commenting on China's cyber war preparation initiatives, Coleman noted that this country is “playing chess,” while the United States is “playing a game of checkers."
One way or another, but the US authorities are also taking steps to protect the state from attacks through computer networks. A week ago, Lieutenant General Keith Alexander (Keith Alexander), head of the US National Security Agency (NSA), said that there was an urgent need for a cyber war in the country. It is expected that the new division will begin work in October and will be included in the structure of the US Strategic Command.
