CHERI Alliance

The CHERI Alliance is spearheading the global adoption of the Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) security technology across the computing industry. Building on over a decade of pioneering research by the University of Cambridge and SRI International, CHERI introduces a revolutionary architecture designed to enhance system security through fine-grained memory protection and software compartmentalization. The Alliance is actively engaging with industry, academia, and the public sector to standardize and implement CHERI across a diverse range of computing platforms. Supported to date by DARPA, UKRI, EPSRC, ERC, Google, Microsoft and Arm, CHERI is a major asset in the fight against cybercrime. The Digital Security by Design initiative helped promote and create a CHERI ecosystem in the UK. We are building on top of this to extend the work beyond initial adoption, and involve all necessary players to make CHERI available commercially, worldwide.
