OPTIMIST

OPTIMIST Hours

The OPTIMIST Hour meetings are a place where citizens are able to discuss, share, and debate ideas to address standard APIs and interoperability issues for trace data formats of side-channel data and other real-time measurements of implementation security. These meetings are chaired by a member of the OPTIMIST Team and the primary discussion points are compiled and shared within the OPTIMIST OSE.

These meetings address three main points brought up during the previous OPTIMIST Hour meeting, including, trace format requirements, keywords, and common APIs. Over the course of three meetings, the goal is to produce documentation that compiles requirements, common keywords, and potential API solutions for trace data formats.
