Louisiana State University received a $300,912 Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE, CFDA 47.070) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, awarded April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2031. This CAREER award funds research to address the cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computing advancement, specifically the vulnerability of current cryptographic systems protecting banking, medical records, and critical infrastructure. The project will deliver three primary research products: (1) a quantitative quantum-readiness index to assess system-level quantum risk; (2) a cryptographic-dependence graph utilizing hybrid static and dynamic analysis techniques to map vulnerable cryptography and surrounding software dependencies across code, configurations, and third-party components; and (3) migration-oriented cryptographic analysis methodologies that identify coupled operations and derive dependency-aware upgrade sequencing to enable safe, auditable transitions to quantum-safe cryptography. The research methodology will establish practical, trustworthy approaches for evaluating quantum-era security exposure and executing reliable cryptographic upgrades across complex software systems. Deliverables will include analytical frameworks and tools that transform scattered cryptographic usage patterns into prioritized risk rankings and actionable upgrade pathways, reducing incompatibility risks inherent in piecemeal security mechanism replacements. Work will be performed at LSU's facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
