This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Award (CFDA 47.070) provides $600,000 in funding to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FRGMS: SMALL ROOT DISCRIMINANTS IN NUMBER THEORY AND CRYPTOGRAPHY". The project aims to leverage recent mathematical advances to improve lattice-based cryptography, which is essential for secure digital communication and the safe transfer of sensitive data. The key objectives are to develop more efficient lattice constructions, faster algorithms for lattice arithmetic, and more effective cryptographic applications. The research will focus on number fields with small root discriminants, exploring techniques from areas like Galois cohomology and modular forms to advance this work. The project will run from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028 and does not involve any sub-awards.
