CHERI Activities

CheriBSD extends FreeBSD to implement memory protection and software compartmentalization features supported by the CHERI instruction-set extensions. There are two active architectural implementations of the CHERI protection model: CHERI-RISC-V and Arm’s Morello. A sketch of CHERI-x86 is also under development. CheriBSD is a research operating system with a stable baseline implementation into which various new research features have been, or are currently being, merged.
