This Project Grant award, valued at $237,500.00 and made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program, develops a novel cryptographic protocol-based architecture to enable federal agencies to rapidly access spectrum for wireless communication and sensing without compromising sensitive operational information. The key products delivered through this 3-year project include: A zero-knowledge proof-capable spectrum credential system that allows federal users to authenticate and request spectrum access without pre-registration or disclosing sensitive identifiers. Protocols to support policy adaptation and microeconomic experiments to inform future spectrum policy and market design decisions. Education and training for the next-generation spectrum workforce. The project aims to overcome constraints in emerging spectrum market mechanisms, such as the pay-as-you-go model and spectrum currency approaches, which often require slow registration steps and disclosure of sensitive federal agency information. The cryptographic methods developed are intended to facilitate federal agency participation in these spectrum markets while protecting mission-critical data.
