Project Portmeirion aims to explore hardware-software co-design for security in the Azure general-purpose compute stack. We are working with major CPU vendors and academic collaborators to design new security features at both the architectural and microarchitectural level. This includes hardware-enforced memory safety for systems programming languages, fine-grained sandboxing, scalable enclave technologies, and infrastructure programming languages that can take advantage of all of these features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project includes Microsoft Research\u2019s engagement with the Digital Security by Design Industrial Strategy Challenge fund (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>. This programme aims to provide hardware-backed solutions to the largest cybersecurity challenges facing the world today. We are actively collaborating with ARM, the University of Cambridge, and others on the CHERI (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> architecture extensions as embodied by ARM\u2019s Morello development platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
