This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) award of $349,203 to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) supports a 5-year research project entitled "CAREER: Cryptography from New Assumptions: Encrypted Computation and More." The project aims to systematically study the theory and applications of new cryptographic assumptions, including code-based, multivariate, and point lattice-based cryptography. It also seeks to advance the use of natural computational problems in statistical inference for new cryptographic mechanisms such as efficient encrypted computation, multi-party computation, and homomorphic encryption. The project further includes educational efforts to bridge cryptography, complexity theory, and statistics. CMU will leverage its expertise in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and cybersecurity to deliver these research and educational outputs supporting the advancement of post-quantum cryptography and secure computing.
