This $265,022 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of South Florida. The grant aims to develop innovative, distributed network security frameworks that enhance the trust, resiliency, and performance of next-generation mobile networks.

Specifically, the project will create public-key infrastructure (PKI) and symmetric-key alliances that leverage post-quantum cryptography and distributed architectures to address limitations of current centralized security practices. Key innovations include compromise-resilient PKIs, scalable post-quantum-safe PKI alliances, breach-resilient symmetric-key alliances, and privacy-preserving access control frameworks. The research team will comprehensively evaluate and validate the proposed techniques on NSF cloud infrastructures and various hardware platforms. The project also includes interdisciplinary curriculum development and summer apprenticeships for minority K-12 students to broaden participation.
