Cybersecurity failure is becoming a civilization-ending threat.
Microsoft and Google say that, empirically, 70% of computer security failures are memory safety failures.
Our solution is Dewdrop: hardware enforcement of the C language abstraction and more, including memory safety, at a modest cost.
"People who are really serious about software should make their own
hardware."
— Alan Kay
"The thing about infrastructure is that everyone uses it. If it's
secure, it's secure for everyone. And if it's insecure, it's insecure
for everyone."
"Many soldiers deployed to Iraq became experts in concrete during
their combat tours.... No other weapon or technology has done more to
contribute to achieving strategic goals of providing security,
protecting populations, establishing stability, and eliminating
terrorist threats. This was most evident in the complex urban terrain
of Baghdad, Iraq. Increasing urbanization and its consequent influence
on global patterns of conflict mean that the US military is almost
certain to be fighting in cities again in our future wars. Military
planners would be derelict in their duty if they allowed the hard-won
lessons about concrete learned on Baghdad’s streets to be forgotten."
[After going on for 7 paragraphs about the best methods of sweeping
the streets of Philadelphia] "Some may think these trifling matters
not worth minding or relating; but when they consider that tho' dust
blown into the eyes of a single person, or into a single shop on a
windy day, is but of small importance, yet the great number of the
instances in a populous city, and its frequent repetitions give it
weight and consequence, perhaps they will not censure very severely
those who bestow some attention to affairs of this seemingly low
nature. Human felicity is produc'd not so much by great pieces of
good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur
every day."
— Benjamin Franklin, The Autobiography
"Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does
not get wet, nor is the water broken.... The whole moon and the
entire sky are reflected in dewdrops on the grass, or even in one drop
of water.... Each reflection, however long or short its duration,
manifests the vastness of the dewdrop, and realizes the limitlessness
of the moonlight in the sky."
