+Pointer Authentication

+Introduction
+------------
+
+Pointer authentication is a technology which offers strong probabilistic protection against exploiting a broad class of memory bugs to take control of program execution.  When adopted consistently in a language ABI, it provides a form of relatively fine-grained control flow integrity (CFI) check that resists both return-oriented programming (ROP) and jump-oriented programming (JOP) attacks.
+
+While pointer authentication can be implemented purely in software, direct hardware support (e.g. as provided by ARMv8.3 PAuth) can dramatically lower the execution speed and code size costs.  Similarly, while pointer authentication can be implemented on any architecture, taking advantage of the (typically) excess addressing range of a target with 64-bit pointers minimizes the impact on memory performance and can allow interoperation with existing code (by disabling pointer authentication dynamically).  This document will generally attempt to present the pointer authentication feature independent of any hardware implementation or ABI.  Considerations that are implementation-specific are clearly identified throughout.
+
+Note that there are several different terms in use:
+
+- **Pointer authentication** is a target-independent language technology.
+
+- **PAuth** (sometimes referred to as **PAC**, for Pointer Authentication Codes) is an AArch64 architecture extension that provides hardware support for pointer authentication.
+
+- **ARMv8.3** is an AArch64 architecture revision that makes PAuth mandatory.  It is implemented on several shipping processors, including the Apple A12 and later.

Maybe spell this "Armv8.3"?
I guess that with a couple of years having gone by since this was written, maybe it makes sense to drop the sentence "It is implemented on several shipping processors, including ...."?
