- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Illinois. This 2-year grant, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, plans to enable a network instrument to measure the adoption rate of quantum-resistant encryption methods, also known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The developed network instrument aims to track the adoption of new encryption, measure any...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) Project Grant, awarded to the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeks to advance the complexity-theoretic foundations of quantum cryptography. The $111,606 grant, awarded on January 1, 2026 with a planned completion date of December 31, 2028, will fund a broad theoretical study to clarify the hierarchy of quantum cryptographic primitives and determine the necessary and sufficient complexity-theoretic assumptions for various quantum cryptographic protocols. The research aims to design new quantum cryptographic protocols, including interactive and zero-knowledge protocols for preparing quantum states, and to explore notions such as proofs of quantum knowledge. In addition to foundational science contributions, the project will support educational activities, outreach, and international collaboration.
