This $116,850 three-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research at Arizona State University to develop physical layer security techniques for protecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless communication systems. The project will focus on four key areas: 1) creating RIS signal watermarking and signature methods for authentication, 2) localizing malicious RISs through collaborative sensing, 3) leveraging neural network-based beamforming for resilient RIS-assisted communication, and 4) building an mmWave testbed with a fabricated RIS. The research aims to lay the secure foundations for RIS-assisted communication, contribute to next-generation wireless standardization efforts, and broaden participation of underrepresented groups through internships and outreach. No subawards are planned under this grant.
