This SBIR Phase I award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $274,988 to Oblivious Labs Inc., a woman-owned small business, to develop the ENCORE oblivious computation framework. The goal is to create a fast, universal, and easy-to-program technology that enables privacy-preserving computation on sensitive data. The project will develop new oblivious algorithms optimized for hardware enclaves and techniques for parallelizing oblivious computation, as well as open-source oblivious counterparts of common data structures and utility algorithms. This effort aims to make confidential computing techniques more accessible to non-expert programmers and encourage wider adoption of privacy-preserving services, paving the way for a private data economy. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
