• Abstract: The abilities of traditional perimeter-based security architectures are rapidly decreasing as more enterprise assets are moved toward the cloud environment. From a security viewpoint, the Zero Trust framework can better track and block external attackers while limiting security breaches resulting from insider attacks in the cloud paradigm. Furthermore, Zero Trust can better accomplish access privileges for users and devices across cloud environments to enable the secure sharing of resources. Moreover, the concept of zero trust architecture in cloud computing requires the integration of complex practices on multiple layers of system architecture, as well as a combination of a variety of existing technologies. This paper focuses on authentication mechanisms, calculation of trust score, and generation of policies in order to establish required access control to resources. The main objective is to incorporate an unbiased trust score as a part of policy expressions while preserving the configurability and adaptiveness of parameters of interest. Finally, the proof-of-concept is demonstrated on a micro-cloud plat-form solution.

  Federated learning (FL) has recently gained significant momentum due to its potential to leverage large-scale distributed user data. The transmitted model updates can potentially leak sensitive user information, and the lack of central control of the local training process leaves the global model susceptible to malicious manipulations on model updates. We develop a general framework PriRoAgg, utilizing Lagrange coded computing and distributed zero-knowledge proof, to execute a wide range of robust aggregation algorithms while satisfying aggregated privacy.

  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.
