This is a list of operating systems specifically focused on security. Similar concepts include security-evaluated operating systems that have achieved certification from an auditing organization, and trusted operating systems that provide sufficient support for multilevel security and evidence of correctness to meet a particular set of requirements.
Linux
Android-based
- GrapheneOS is a privacy and security-focused mobile operating system for selected Google Pixel smartphones and tablets.
- CalyxOS is another operating system that focuses on privacy and security. It's maintened by the Calyx Institute and - compared to GrapheneOS - available for a wider range of devices. Security features include re-locking the bootloader, automatic restarts or turing off wireless connections when idle and being able to restrict the USB port.[1]
Debian-based
Other Linux distributions
- Alpine Linux is designed to be small, simple, and secure.[7] It uses musl, BusyBox, and OpenRC instead of the more commonly used glibc, GNU Core Utilities, and systemd.[8]
- Owl - Openwall GNU/Linux, a security-enhanced Linux distribution for servers.

BSD
- OpenBSD is a Unix-like operating system that emphasizes portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security, and integrated cryptography.[9]
