The $303,174 award to Ciphersonic Labs Inc. (UEI: FSUGJKZRV285) will fund the development and evaluation of a cryptographic protocol called MCFHE that efficiently combines fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and secure multi-party...
- This $174,810 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program supports research at Northern Arizona University (NAU) to optimize resource-intensive operations in existing fully homomorphic encryption schemes and integrate the optimized algorithm into federated learning frameworks. The project aims to enhance security in Internet of Things communications by enabling secure data analysis on encrypted data...
- This $150,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems under the CFDA Program 47.070 "Computer and Information Science and Engineering". The award, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, supports collaborative research on safeguarding the emerging "miniapp" paradigm within mobile "super apps". The research aims to investigate new security and privacy threats, design secure miniapp APIs, and...
- This $193,399 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports research at New York University (NYU) to strengthen the computational foundations needed for robust cryptography. The project aims to explore novel resource-constrained adversarial models to improve cryptographic hardness amplification and understand the feasibility of cryptographic security if traditional guarantees are not possible. The...
- This $92,337 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program will support research by Arizona State University (ASU) to develop a novel threshold homomorphic encryption scheme. The project aims to create a secure multiparty computation solution that avoids the need for trusted setups, maintains constant ciphertext size, and supports asynchronous operations. The research will also develop protocols...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,639 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will fund research to develop a plausibly deniable encryption system for mobile devices that is robust against adversaries who can coerce users to reveal encrypted data. Specifically, the university will investigate using existing hardware features like flash translation layers and trust zones to create an...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), provides $510,000 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on developing secure and interoperable encrypted messaging systems. The key objectives are to analyze existing proposals for interoperable encrypted messaging, evaluate their security, and develop novel cryptographic protocols that reduce metadata exposure and provide cross-platform key transparency. The project also investigates group messaging settings to address associated challenges. The research aims to retain the strong privacy guarantees of existing encrypted messaging apps while enabling interoperability, a critical issue as policymakers and industry groups increasingly view this as a major user pain point. The award period runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028.
