This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $367,867 to George Mason University to research encrypted systems with fine-grained data leakage. The project aims to develop a new paradigm for encrypted systems that balances scalability, practical performance, and rigorous security guarantees against adversarial data reconstructions. The research focuses on three interconnected areas: nullifying leakage through query and update patterns, designing cryptographic structured encryption to increase adversarial uncertainty, and applying the approach to real-world scenarios. The project also plans to integrate security modules into the university's undergraduate and graduate curriculum, introduce interdisciplinary courses, and expand engagement with local high schools to enhance education. The award period runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030.
