The growth of genome data and computational requirements overwhelm the capacity of servers. Many institutions and the NIH are considering cloud computing services as a cost-effective alternative to scale up research. Privacy and security are major concerns when deploying cloud-based data analysis tools. In the past few years, secure computation methods have had significant performance improvement but it is still not clear if they are applicable to biomedical challenges involving big data. The goal of this challenge is to evaluate the performance of state-of-the-art methods that ensure rigorous data confidentiality during data analyses in a cloud environment.

Trust is indispensable to the prosperity and well-being of societies. For millennia, we developed trust-building mechanisms to facilitate interactions. But as they become increasingly digital, many traditional mechanisms no longer function well, hence trust breaks down.

As a result, low levels of trust discourage us from engaging in new forms of interactions and constrain business opportunities.

We must therefore re-invent trust mechanisms that will contribute to prosperous and peaceful societies in the digital age.

The IC Research Day was a 1-day event, organized by the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC), where world-leading experts presented and discussed their work towards achieving ‘digital trust’. EPFL researchers showcased ongoing research projects and engaged with the audience.

The Summer Research Institute (SuRI) is an annual event that takes place at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). This edition of the workshop featured research talks by renowned researchers from academia and industry on a variety of topics in security and privacy, such as smart-contract security, privacy challenges in the Internet, and secure communication protocols.
