Data Enclave

Data Enclave
We at IDSC run our own Data Enclave which not only conforms to the strictest of data security standards but also strives to achieve the highest possible degree of scientific freedom. Participants are granted access in two ways:

• Locally through an ultra thin network segment
• Remotely via JoSuA and other tools

Several research projects based on highly sensitive datasets are currently hosted within the IDSC Data Enclave.  A selection of some of those which have resulted in publications can be found below.
