Orchard

Orchard is developed in a collaboration of the Factory and prof. Mathias Payer to create a platform for evaluating code produced for scientific articles.

The Orchard project is developed at EPFL’s HexHive research lab under the supervision of Prof. Mathias Payer in collaboration with the Center for Digital Trust. The project aims to provide a standardized platform for the software and systems security community to submit their research paper’s software artifacts. These submissions will be automatically built and assessed, and the results published on a publicly accessible web page where users can compare them across different projects.

While Orchard’s scope is the software and systems security community, the platform’s design relies exclusively on widely accessible and generic tools, such as GitLab and Docker, meaning that it can be adapted to a different audience. If such a platform would be of interest to your organization, please reach out to us.
