The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded a $253,041 Project Grant to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (doing business as Tees) to develop SPHINX, a password store that securely hides passwords from itself. The grant period runs from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2022 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). This program supports investigator-initiated research and education in computing, communications, and information science/engineering fields, as well as development of cyberinfrastructure to enable discovery and innovation. Tees will use the funding to create a password management system that perfectly conceals passwords from any entity, including the system itself, through advanced cryptographic techniques.
