CHERI Alliance

CHERI Alliance is an industry initiative spearheading the global adoption of the Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) security technology across the computing industry.

CHERI significantly improves system security by extending conventional hardware Instruction-Set Architectures (ISAs) with new features to enable fine-grained memory protection and highly scalable software compartmentalization. Instead of repeatedly patching newly discovered problems, CHERI adopts a preventive approach, making buffer overflows and other attack using memory misuse simply impossible. 

CHERI provides the security reassurance end customers and even the most sensitive applications require. Supported to date by DARPA, UKRI, Google, Microsoft and Arm, CHERI is a major asset in the fight against cybercrime.
