The University of Connecticut (UConn) received a $599,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program. The award, titled "ADVANCING SECURITY IN TEE-ENABLED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WORKFLOWS: A HOLISTIC APPROACH", will fund research to develop novel techniques in runtime and distributed attestation to protect scientific data and ensure integrity in high-performance computing (HPC) workflows. The project aims to introduce continuous runtime attestation mechanisms for confidential virtual machines and create a distributed attestation framework to verify end-to-end integrity of scientific pipelines. Additionally, the grant will support the development of a hardware-agnostic trusted execution environment (TEE) runtime and an integrity-aware scheduler to securely map workflow tasks across heterogeneous computing platforms. This research is expected to enable scientists to run complex workflows securely and confidently, even on shared or potentially compromised HPC systems, helping to preserve America's scientific leadership. The grant period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
