- Sep 24, 2026 Shadow Stacks, Pointer Authentication, and Memory Tagging in Silicon Three hardware answers to memory corruption differ in what they protect and what they cost: a second return stack, signed pointers, and per-allocation tags checked on every access. security
- Sep 14, 2026 Capability Machines and the CHERI Bounds Encoding How a pointer that carries its own bounds and permissions replaces a flat address space, what the compressed bounds cost in bits, and why the model makes spatial safety a hardware property. memory systems
- Jul 5, 2024 Memory Tagging and the Granule Trade-Off How a tag in the pointer and a tag in memory turn a stale or out-of-bounds access into a fault, why the granule size decides which bugs are visible, and what probabilistic checking buys. memory systems
