Verifiable science on modified PCR machine

We chose PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) machines - the workhorses of molecular biology that detect DNA sequences in samples, used in everything from COVID testing to cancer research. This setup lets users operate the PCR machine via the familiar 7500 application interface, while the virtualized XP environment is stripped of any additional functionality (attempts to modify test results are effectively blocked). The data is then automatically exported from the VM via a virtual serial bus, then cryptographically signed by the TEE’s secure element and made accessible via an instance of SSH running on the host operating system.
