NLayerArchitecture

The Askemos operating system has a multi layer architecture. It consists of a Unix compatible base system to conquer the nodes hard ware and the Askemos server to confederate them in a net.

While the base primarly used as a hardware abstraction layer its services can be acessed from the Askemos layer if they are configured as TrustedCode. For security reasons the base system should be choosen as a secure as possible and configured not to run any services not needed to support the Askemos server.

For all layers there are (at least should be!) alternative implementations, in case a vulnerability is dicovered.
