Alliance
Mission and role
The Alliance exists to accelerate responsible, interoperable adoption of CHERI across the computing industry.
Role and purpose
The Alliance exists to accelerate responsible, interoperable adoption of CHERI across the computing industry. Its role is to connect research, hardware, software, standards, assurance, skills and market adoption so that isolated demonstrations can become usable systems.
Why coordination is needed
No single organisation controls every dependency in a computing platform. Coordination reduces duplicated effort and gives adopters clearer routes to specifications, compatible tools and credible evidence.
How the Alliance works
1. Coordinate
Bring the organisations that own different layers of the stack into shared programmes with explicit outcomes.
2. Enable
Support specifications, open-source components, guidance, training and assurance material that reduce barriers to evaluation.
3. Promote responsibly
Explain CHERI’s benefits while stating maturity, implementation dependencies and the security problems it does not solve.
Boundaries and accountability
The Alliance can convene and enable, but implementers remain responsible for product engineering, threat modelling, verification and lifecycle support.
