Abstract
I propose to develop a quantitative and qualitative framework to integrate a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) into the pipeline of secure computation by combining it with other cryptographic primitives. Such a hybrid framework will utilize mathematical and statistical modeling techniques to decide how to combine TEE and cryptographic primitives and evaluate the potential for performance improvement by moving secure computation processes into or out of a TEE. Ideally, I will be able to determine when to combine TEEs with pure-cryptography techniques to improve performance for a task, instead of simply using either method alone and only achieving suboptimal performance. The final goal is to design and develop an actionable decision-making framework, and utilize it to optimize the secure computation process.
