Overview
CHERITech brings together the engineers, researchers, architects and practitioners building with CHERI to share progress, exchange practical experience and tackle the challenges involved in taking CHERI from research into real-world systems and products.
Organised by the CHERI Alliance, the conference goes deep into implementation, evaluation and deployment, connecting work across processors and SoCs, operating systems, toolchains, runtimes, verification and product integration.
From DSbD to the CHERI Alliance
CHERITech originated as part of UKRI’s Digital Security by Design (DSbD) programme, bringing the technical community together to share developments and experience around CHERI. The CHERI Alliance has now taken on the organisation of CHERITech, continuing that tradition while opening the conference to the growing international community developing and deploying CHERI technologies.
CHERITech isn't just about listening to technical talks. Questions, discussions, demonstrations and networking are central to the event, giving participants opportunities to learn directly from one another, explore solutions to shared engineering challenges and make connections that can lead to new collaborations and business opportunities.
Like CHERI Blossoms, CHERITech is free to attend, helping keep the event open to engineers and organisations from across industry, academia and the wider technical community, and encouraging the exchange of knowledge that can accelerate CHERI development and adoption.
Technical focus
Hardware and platforms
Explore developments in processors, microcontrollers, SoCs, FPGAs and architectures that are making CHERI available to system builders and product developers.
Software stacks
See how operating systems, toolchains, language runtimes, libraries, frameworks and applications are being adapted for capability-based computing, and hear practical experience from the people doing the work.
Evidence and adoption
Dig into performance, formal verification, security evaluation, deployment experience and certification, as well as the engineering journey from prototype towards production.
Demonstrations and technical exchange
See CHERI technology in action through demonstrations and technical exhibits, ask questions of the people developing it, and use discussions and networking sessions to exchange experience across the hardware and software ecosystem.
CHERITech is designed to help technical teams learn from work already happening elsewhere, find potential collaborators and partners, and identify opportunities to turn technical progress into real-world deployment.
Explore previous CHERITech conferences, including technical programmes, speakers, presentations and recordings, and follow the evolution of CHERI implementations across hardware and software.
