Trust Management in Edge Clouds with SCONE - IEEE Future Networks Webinar

This webinar was recorded on April 22, 2020 and sponsored by the IEEE Future Networks Initiative education working group. 

ABSTRACT: Trust is arguably the most crucial challenge for critical services, both in deployment and when accessed over a network. These systems are exposed to a wide diversity of threats, ranging from bugs to exploits, active attacks, rogue operators, careless administrators or untrusted infrastructure providers. 

This webinar presents a powerful and generic approach to trust management using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Our platform, SCONE, can operate as a managed service deployed in an untrusted environment. SCONE enables the delegation of operations to an untrusted provider while guaranteeing data confidentiality and integrity and safety even if the operator or the infrastructure is untrusted. We argue that one can execute even critical applications in edge clouds built from COTS hardware and software.
