TRON (acronym for The Real-time Operating system Nucleus) is an open architecture real-time operating system kernel design. The project was started by Ken Sakamura of the University of Tokyo in 1984. The project's goal is to create an ideal computer architecture and network, to provide for all of society's needs.^[1]

The Industrial TRON (ITRON) derivative was one of the world's most used operating systems in 2003,^[2] being present in billions of electronic devices such as mobile phones, appliances and even cars.^[3] Although mainly used by Japanese companies, it garnered interest worldwide.^[3] However, a dearth of quality English documentation was said to hinder its broader adoption.^[4]

The TRON project was integrated into T-Engine Forum in 2010.^[5] Today, it is supported by popular Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) libraries such as wolfSSL.^[6]
