The National Science Foundation awarded $349,079 under its Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to Stony Brook University for a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SATC: CORE: MEDIUM: APP-DRIVEN WEB BROWSING: NOVEL RISKS, VULNERABILITIES, AND DEFENSES." The project, taking place from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026, will analyze security risks inherent in non-browser applications that enable web browsing. Researchers will develop techniques to uncover vulnerabilities in the diverse technologies powering these apps, and establish observatories to track their security over time. Outcomes aim to strengthen understanding of app-driven browsing risks and provide solutions to improve the app ecosystem's security, with findings disseminated through publications, education, and industry engagement. The award supports the NSF's mission to advance computing and information sciences through investigator-initiated research.
