Yay, the embargo was finally lifted yesterday so we can talk about the UK Government funding for #CHERIoT!

They funded us (SCI) to do two projects, for a total of £7.7M:

• Bring #Rust on CHERIoT to production qualities.
• Build our second-generation chip with a dual-issue core, post-quantum crypto hardware, and an edge inference accelerator.

"We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android’s C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery. With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one."

This is a reminder to everyone that security is more than just memory safety. https://www.phoronix.com/news/sudo-rs-security-ubuntu-25.10
