Description:
The Capability
Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) project is a rethinking of
computer architecture in order to improve system security.  Carl Shaw gave
a presentation at Linux
Security Summit Europe (LSS EU) about CHERI and the efforts to get
Linux running on it.  He introduced capabilities ,
which are a mechanism for access control, and outlined their
history, which goes back many decades at this point, then looked more
specifically at the CHERI project and what it will take to apply the security 
constraints of capabilities to an operating system like Linux.
