Trustworthy Network Computing (TNC)
- Methods for assessing trade-offs in trustworthy system design (e.g.,
security and performance trade-offs)
- Composing untrustworthy computing platforms for trustworthy multiparty
computations
- Seamless and virtual capabilities to achieve dynamic reconfiguration,
self-healing, and non-stop operation
