This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program Project Grant award in the amount of $137,541 provides funding to Tufts University for research to develop algorithms and solutions to guarantee anonymity in network communications. The award addresses the fundamental challenge of obscuring meta-information about who is communicating with whom, when, and for how long, while mitigating increased communication and network congestion issues. The research team will focus on two facets: (1) designing routing schemes to prevent traffic patterns from revealing metadata, and (2) developing cryptographically secure tools to secure data even when the network participants may be adversarial. This research aims to advance the state of anonymous communication and privacy in widely used network applications. The project will also include educational initiatives at the graduate and undergraduate levels to build a workforce in the crucial areas of privacy, security, and computer science.
