The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $442,887 Project Grant to Cornell University to conduct collaborative research on the theoretical foundations of lattice-based cryptography. This four-year award, effective October 1, 2023, supports three primary research goals: 1) Analyzing the fine-grained complexity of lattice problems to better understand the practical security of lattice-based cryptosystems; 2) Studying connections between lattices and error-correcting codes; and 3) Exploring the complexity of problems on algebraically structured lattices that underlie most practical lattice-based cryptography systems. In addition, the investigators will develop a comprehensive, freely available textbook on algorithmic, complexity-theoretic, cryptographic, and geometric aspects of lattices in computer science. This work aligns with NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program objectives to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems.
