"Cage: Hardware-Accelerated Safe WebAssembly" (2024) https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.11456v2 : > Abstract: WebAssembly (WASM) is an immensely versatile and increasingly popular compilation target. It executes applications written in several languages (e.g., C/C++) with near-native performance in various domains (e.g., mobile, edge, cloud). Despite WASM's sandboxing feature, which isolates applications from other instances and the host platform, WASM does not inherently provide any memory safety guarantees for applications written in low-level, unsafe languages. > To this end, we propose Cage, a…
