The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $298,575 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities (IA) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska. The 4-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, supports the university's research project titled "SATC: CORE: MEDIUM: SATTVA: Soil-Assisted Things Trust Verification for Ag-IoT". The project aims to develop new techniques for enabling scalable and interoperable secure operations for wireless-enabled devices in modern farm settings. Key research efforts include establishing scalable trust for wireless nodes using chirp spread spectrum modulation, soil-adaptive trust for underground IoT nodes, and soil-assisted scalable trust for over-the-air IoT nodes. The research outcomes will be disseminated through publications and new course modules, and the project will promote cybersecurity and wireless technology workforce development, with a focus on broadening participation of underrepresented groups in computing.
