The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,639 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will fund research to develop a plausibly deniable encryption system for mobile devices that is robust against adversaries who can coerce users to reveal encrypted data. Specifically, the university will investigate using existing hardware features like flash translation layers and trust zones to create an efficient and effective encryption scheme with high deniability and low overhead. The system aims to defend against snapshot attacks using raw flash memory, eliminate side channels that compromise deniability, scale to mainstream mobile devices, and provide fast mode switching. The grant also supports curriculum development and outreach activities to educate K-12 students on plausibly deniable encryption and cybersecurity through an existing regional collaboration. The work advances mobile privacy techniques and supports the NSF's mission to fund merit-reviewed computing and networking research.
