• Abstract: The vSPACE experimental proof-of-concept (PoC) on the TrueElect[Anon][Creds] protocol presents a novel approach to secure, private, and scalable elections, extending the TrueElect and ElectAnon protocols with the integration of AnonCreds SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity). Such a protocol PoC is situated within a Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) and leverages confidential computing, continuous authentication, multi-party computation (MPC), and well-architected framework (WAF) principles to address the challenges of cybersecurity, privacy, and trust over IP (ToIP) protection. Employing a Kubernetes confidential cluster within an Enterprise-Scale Landing Zone (ESLZ), vSPACE integrates Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for immutable and certifiable audit trails. The Infrastructure as Code (IaC) model ensures rapid deployment, consistent management, and adherence to security standards, making vSPACE a future-proof solution for digital voting systems.

  This study proposes an advanced Learning (FL) framework designed to enhance data privacy and security in IoT environments. We integrate Decentralized Attribute-Based Encryption (DABE), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC) and technology. Unlike traditional FL, our framework enables secure, decentralized authentication and encryption directly on IoT devices.

  Confidential computing enables the protection of confidential code and data in a co-tenanted cloud deployment using specialized hardware isolation units called Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) TEEs offer low-level C/C++-based toolchains that are susceptible to inherent memory safety vulnerabilities and lack language constructs to monitor explicit and implicit information-flow leaks. We address the above with HasTEE+, a domain-specific language (cla) embedded in Haskell that enables programming TEEs in a high-level language with strong type-safety.

  This article provides a systematic review and comparison of TEE-based secure computation protocols. We first propose a taxonomy that classifies secure computation protocols into three major categories, namely secure outsourced computation, secure distributed computation and secure multi-party computation. Based on these criteria, we review, discuss and compare the state-of-the-art TEE-based secure computation protocols for both general-purpose computation functions and special-purpose ones.
