Initial Findings of the 2021 Trusted CI Annual Challenge on Software Assurance

In 2021, Trusted CI is conducting our focused “annual challenge” on the assurance of software used by scientific computing and cyberinfrastructure. The goal of this year-long project, involving seven Trusted CI members, is to broadly improve the robustness of software used in scientific computing with respect to security. The Annual Challenge team spent the first half of the 2021 calendar year engaging with developers of scientific software to understand the range of software development practices used and identifying opportunities to improve practices and code implementation to minimize the risk of vulnerabilities. In this blog post, the 2021 Trusted CI Annual Challenge team gives a high-level description of some of its more important findings during the past six months.
