This $225,000 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will fund research at The George Washington University to develop security and privacy solutions for 5G and beyond cellular networks. Key activities include designing a heterogeneous data plane framework combining multiple programmable data plane devices for network function processing. Most traffic will be inspected at high speed by programmable switches, while suspicious traffic will be redirected to programmable network interface cards or host servers for deeper inspection. The project will also implement real-time cellular traffic monitoring at the core network to detect data and control plane attacks, and will design privacy protection mechanisms using traffic morphing techniques across the heterogeneous programmable data plane infrastructure to anonymize user activity. Outcomes aim to significantly strengthen threat prevention and privacy preservation for cellular network users and traffic.
