About Capstone

What is Capstone?

Capstone is a new capability-based instruction set architecture (ISA) that provides a single unified abstraction for achieving multiple security goals.

Status of the Project

Overall, Capstone is still in its early stages. We have presented Capstone at USENIX Security Symposium ‘23, and have released the ISA specification document and the open-sourced artefacts which include functional prototypes and an implementation for preliminary performance evaluation. No complete hardware implementation is available yet.
