This Project Grant award of $339,842 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research at North Carolina State University to develop an automated framework for mitigating single-trace side-channel vulnerabilities in post-quantum cryptography implementations. The primary objective is to expose and address risks of software running post-quantum cryptography algorithms being vulnerable to reverse-engineering attacks that could steal critical cryptographic keys. The research framework leverages program analysis and repair techniques to automatically detect and mitigate these single-trace side-channel vulnerabilities. This research aims to improve national cybersecurity by ensuring practical deployment of next-generation post-quantum cryptographic standards and training a STEM workforce in related cybersecurity skills. The award period of performance runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
