The main site of the Center for Distributed Confidential Computing[1] is up, and the chart of "principle investigators" still shows XiaoFeng Wang as the center director. But many other links on that site are broken and pages have been cut down, compared to an archive from last month.[2]

They used to have a Github.[3] But now it says "No public repositories".

Here's their NSF funding.[4][5] About US$3 million. Xiaogang (Cliff) Wang is listed as the principal investigator.

> Xiaogang (Cliff) Wang is listed as the principal investigator.

No, you are misreading the award abstract. Cliff Wang is the program manager at NSF who is the point of contact for the investigators.

Ah. Wrong box on the form. XiaoFeng Wang is in the Principal Investigator box.

Was NSF funding for the project cancelled?

If you know anything about that organization, please follow up. Did something happen to the organization? Did they somehow offend the administration?
