The Cryptographic Obfuscation Sensor System Guarding Restricted Data (CrOSSGRD): Prototype Detailed Design Document

A prototype has been developed at Sandia National Laboratories to collect nominally sensitive data from a mock treaty accountable item, record that information as non-sensitive encrypted outputs, and allow inspectors to subsequently evaluate that information at a time and location of their choice without any risk of the host party’s data being inadvertently (or maliciously) revealed.

FIREWHEEL

SAND2024-16910O FIREWHEEL is a tool for experiment orchestration that assists a user in building and controlling repeatable experiments of distributed network systems at any scale. This version also includes FIREWHEEL v2.7 and its associated companion model components. With FIREWHEEL, users can easily construct modular parts of a cyber system, called Model Components. The Model Components can be combined to form an experiment. Most experiments are then instantiated using an emulation tool, such as minimega.

DevOps Pragmatic Practices and Potential Perils in Scientific Software Development

The DevOps movement, which aims to accelerate the continuous delivery of high-quality software, has taken a leading role in reshaping the software industry. Likewise, there is growing interest in applying DevOps tools and practices in the domains of computational science and engineering (CSE) to meet the ever-growing demand for scalable simulation and analysis. Translating insights from industry to research computing, however, remains an ongoing challenge; DevOps for science and engineering demands adaptation and innovation in those tools and practices. There is a need to better understand the challenges faced by DevOps practitioners in CSE contexts in bridging this divide. To that end, we conducted a participatory action research study to collect and analyze the experiences of DevOps practitioners at a major US national laboratory through the use of storytelling techniques. We share lessons learned and present opportunities for future investigation into DevOps practice in the CSE domain.
