This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports collaborative research on the foundations of zero-knowledge computation. The award aims to develop programming abstractions and techniques that simplify the development, maintenance, and security evaluation of software systems leveraging non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proofs. Key research thrusts include: 1) combining code for efficiently generating and verifying NIZK proofs, 2) expressing NIZK security guarantees using information-flow control, and 3) verifying end-to-end security properties of NIZK-based applications like anonymous credential and private payment systems. The project, led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will also train graduate students and is expected to run from July 2025 through June 2028.
