CHERIoT is a compiler and runtime system that achieves strong memory isolation without an MMU by using capability-based addressing and pointer authentication. This makes it particularly suitable for embedded and IoT devices where traditional hardware-based security mechanisms are too resource-intensive.
Background
CHERIoT extends the CHERI architectural model to provide secure memory management in resource-constrained environments, addressing a key gap in IoT and embedded system security.
