I've made a huge amount of progress on my hardened allocator since the work was funded on October 3rd. Here's what has already landed since then: github.com/AndroidHardeni I also found 6 memory corruption bugs in userspace along with kernel MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE clobbering bug.

Daniel what are you working on and what is the awaited output?

See twitter.com/DanielMicay/st. I'm primarily working on my hardened allocator and the initial research / design stage of Android integration for QubesOS. I have a bunch of other ongoing hardening projects but these two are my priorities since funding was provided for the work.

I've received initial funding for continuing my privacy and security work. The development time based on this funding will be split between my hardened malloc implementation (github.com/AndroidHardeni) and a new project aiming to implement first class Android support for QubesOS.

Android integration of Qubes?! Um...wow. As a Qubes user I am trully looking forward to this. Does this mean if you succeed we could have Qubes on our android devices?

The project will be making Android run properly within QubesOS including integrating features like the inter-VM clipboard and AppVM support. I won't be working on making Android usable as Dom0 or porting it to run on mobile devices which would be separate more difficult projects.

I wouldn't be comfortable taking on those larger QubesOS projects, particularly porting it to run on mobile. It would be way too much work for me to accomplish on my own while dividing time between a bunch of different projects at the same time. Android within QubesOS is easier.
