Empowering users: orchestrating sensitive data access for interactive federated analysis in virtual research environments

Empowering users: orchestrating sensitive data access for interactive federated analysis in virtual research environments

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2026

This study seeks to establish a mechanism for orchestrating secure access to data hosted in EGA, whether in its central instance or any federated nodes, from a Galaxy instance. To guarantee the proper management of sensitive data, data will be encrypted at any time, with decryption occurring solely during analysis within the secure compute backend. The ultimate goal of this study is to generate encrypted data result outputs exclusively accessible to end-users within the Galaxy user interface. 

This study involves the collaboration of four ELIXIR Nodes: ELIXIR Spain, ELIXIR Norway, ELIXIR Belgium (Frederik Coppens) and ELIXIR Germany.
