The CHERI Alliance has released an experimental prototype of CHERI support in seL4 and Microkit, accompanied by tutorials to help you get started. This release is now available for you to reproduce, explore, and build upon.

For those who are unfamiliar with CHERI, CHERI support in seL4 enables memory-safe C/C++ user-level projects and applications without having to (re)write code in languages like Rust. This complement's seL4's strong isolation between different components, enforced by the MMU and seL4's software capabilities.

We welcome your feedback and contributions.
