Ensuring data security at run-time has long been an open computing challenge and a tough problem to solve. This gap arises because data must be decrypted in system memory for processing, even when it is stored encrypted. This exposes it to a large attack surface of threats posed by potentially malicious system software, such as

Everyone wants the Linux distribution they are using to be fast. This is practically a content-free statement, of course: who would want their distro to be slow? But at the same time, what does it mean for your distribution to be fast? For example, Ubuntu 21.10 switched the default compression for packages to zstd, which

Canonical is delighted to announce it is now a member of the RISC-V Software Ecosystem (RISE) to contribute to commercial readiness of open source software for RISC-V.
