Claim One:
1. A method for performing trusted computations on genomic data performed by a distributed computing system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform the method, the method comprising: receiving first policy information from a stakeholder system articulating one or more first requirements associated with computational results generated using a genomic data set; receiving a first request from a user system to perform a computation by the distributed computer system, the first request comprising a first set of one or more pieces of identification information, the computation comprising analyzing a genomic data set to determine a particular genomic feature of the genomic data set; determining, based on the first set of one or more pieces of identification information, that a result of a prior computation using the first set of one or more pieces of identification information is not stored in a persistent storage associated with the distributed computing system; storing information associated with the first set of one or more pieces of identification information in the persistent storage; generating, based on the first set of one or more pieces of identification information, a result of the computation using the genomic data set; associating the result of the computation with the first policy information; storing the result of the computation and the associated first policy information in the persistent storage; sending the result of the computation to the user system: receiving a second request to perform the computation by a computational module of the distributed computing system using the genomic data set, the second request comprising the first set of one or more pieces of identification information; determining, based on the first set of one or more pieces of identification information, that the result of the computation is stored in the persistent storage; accessing the result of the computation from the persistent storage; determining, based on the first policy information associated with the result of the computation, that the first policy information does not permit sending the result of the computation to the system associated with the second request; and preventing the result of the computation from being sent to the system associated with the second request.
