This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $517,545 in funding to the University of Utah from January 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.

The award supports research to advance software vulnerability detection techniques. Specifically, the university researchers will develop new approaches to fuzz testing, a method for identifying software flaws by automatically feeding random inputs to programs. The project aims to make fuzz testing more intelligent and targeted by obtaining feedback on vulnerability coverage, prioritizing test cases reaching more vulnerabilities, and maximizing the ability of tests to trigger vulnerabilities. Outcomes will include new metrics, benchmarks and frameworks to comprehensively evaluate fuzz testing's effectiveness for finding vulnerabilities. The funding also provides research opportunities for students to help address the growing challenge of securing increasingly large and complex software.
