How memory safety issues can expose you to very high cybersecurity damage How conventional memory protection leaves plenty of vulnerability. How CHERI can rigorously prevent some of the worst memory ...

Attacks on the kernel can take many forms; one popular exploitation path is to find a way to overwrite some memory with attacker-supplied data. If the right memory can be targeted, one well-targeted ...

A new chip security consortium named CHERI Alliance is focused on protecting data stored in hardware memory from cyberattackers. The alliance backs a protection model that isolates the hardware and ...

As systems-on-chips (SoCs) become increasingly complex, security functions must grow accordingly to protect the semiconductor devices themselves and the sensitive information residing on or passing ...

A decade ago, AMD added a protection to its high-end CPUs to protect them against cold boot attacks and other types of physical exploits that siphon sensitive data out of the connected memory chips.

On February 12, Yeoreum Yun posted a suggestion for an improvement to the security of the kernel's BPF implementation: use memory protection keys to prevent unauthorized access to memory by BPF ...
