The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $347,985 Project Grant titled "CAREER: SATC: Privacy-Aware Just-In-Time Compilation" to The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology. The award, under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070), is for the development of a just-in-time compilation framework that can balance security, privacy, and performance optimization concerns. The key components of this framework include: 1) a taint-analysis-backed approach to identify compiler optimizations that could introduce side-channel vulnerabilities, 2) an information-theoretic metric to quantify such vulnerabilities, 3) a heuristic framework to manage tradeoffs between performance and security, and 4) augmented techniques to address these challenges. The project aims to facilitate developers' ability to write secure code without concerns about compiler-introduced security risks, and to improve both security and performance for end-users. The award period is from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2030.
