BlockTEE 2022
First Workshop on Blockchain Technologies and Trusted Execution Environments

collocated with DISCOTEC'2022

https://www.discotec.org/2022/blocktee

Blockchains and TEE (trusted execution environments) are popular emerging
\technologies, enabling new or existing use cases to be deployed under stronger
security and trust models. Blockchains and TEEs have been combined in the past to
enhance the performance, security, and applicability for blockchains. In this
workshop, we invite novel combinations of these two technologies. Some of the
topics we are interested in include practical results that show how to combine
these two technologies to operate under stricter security models, offering new
performance results, new proof-of-* systems enabled by TEEs, improvements over
state-of-the-art ledgers exploiting TEEs, mixed or hybrid TEE deployments for
distributed ledgers, or novel partitioning techniques dealing with heterogeneous
TEE setups for blockchains. Real-world results from large-scale deployments
combining TEEs and blockchains are highly encouraged.

Submission
===============================================================================

We seek contributions in two different formats


* position papers, which should aim at fostering discussion and collaboration and
may summarize research published elsewhere or outline emerging ideas. The
submission must not exceed 4 pages excluding references.
* full papers, which should presenting fleshed out ideas, systems and or
experimental results. The submission must not exceed 12 pages excluding
references.
