This $522,499 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of a novel architecture for secure and adaptive spectrum management. The project aims to create cryptographic protocols that enable federal agencies to quickly acquire radio spectrum through emerging market mechanisms without disclosing sensitive mission-critical information. The key product is a zero-knowledge proof-based spectrum credential system that allows federal users to authenticate and access spectrum without prior registration or disclosure of identities. This supports the broader goal of facilitating federal agency participation in spectrum markets to enable more efficient use of this vital national resource. The 3-year project will also help educate the next generation of spectrum workforce. The award was granted to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, a leading research institution with extensive expertise in supporting federal technical initiatives across domains such as national defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity.
