Being an open source project, the success of MICO and SecureMiddleware rely heavily on the funding provided from its community. ObjectSecurity is the current maintainer and main contributor of Secure MICO, while SecureMiddleware is jointly developed and maintained by Fraunhofer FOKUS and ObjectSecurity. Please consider the value MICO and SecureMiddleware have provided for your organisation and support our work by making a donation towards future MICO and SecureMiddleware enhancements.

MICO and SecureMiddleware are available as open source under the GNU-copyright notice. MICO and is widely used for different purposes (see our success stories). In June 1999, MICO has been branded as "CORBA compliant" by the OpenGroup, thus demonstrating that it is production grade software.

Over the years, ObjectSecurity has added many security features to MICO and SecureMiddleware. Some of these are commercially available, while others have been integrated into the code base.

We would greatly appreciate donations to be able to fund future enhancements to MICO and SecureMiddleware.
