The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded a $389,661 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The grant supports research under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which aims to advance computing, communications, and information science through investigator-initiated research and development of cyberinfrastructure.

Specifically, the University of Texas at Austin will conduct research to expand the frontiers of lattice-based cryptography. Lattice-based cryptography is an area of mathematics that can be applied to encryption and digital signature schemes. The results of this research could help to develop more robust and secure methods of encrypting information in computer systems and online communications.
