Result description
The Blueprint Architecture to approach interoperability, by describing a common terminology, specifications, and a standardised representation of the capabilities of TREs. It will be based on existing blueprints, mounting on the experience of consortium partners involved in the AARC Authentication Framework, but targets future ones as well. In order to develop it, EOSC Entrust is cataloguing the capabilities of existing TREs. The Blueprint Architecture will become a common description of TREs rather than a deployable implementation.
Problem addressed
The overall goal of EOSC Entrust is to support and build a network of Trusted Research Environments (TREs) for processing sensitive data in the EOSC context. TREs present several challenges: the security and privacy requirements are very different depending on the area (e.g. genomics, health data, or governmental data), type of data, and jurisdiction under which they operate. By providing the Blueprint Architecture, developers/providers will have a guide at their disposal to create TREs that satisfy the technical and legal requirements of the jurisdiction (i.e. country) and/or discipline in which they operate.The Blueprint is not intended however to serve as an implementation (i.e. technical) guide build new services.
