The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 project grant to the University of Illinois under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The four-year project, beginning October 2022, will research app-driven web browsing risks, vulnerabilities, and defenses. The University of Illinois will design techniques and systems to uncover inherent security flaws in the technologies powering non-browser apps that enable web browsing. Researchers will implement novel static and dynamic code analysis to detect security issues enabling a range of attacks. An observatory will be developed to understand how browsing app security evolves over time and identify new vulnerabilities. Outcomes aim to strengthen understanding of app-driven browsing risks and provide solutions improving the app ecosystem's security, disseminated through publications, education, and industry engagement.
