The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded a CAREER grant of $347,084 to the University of California, Merced on July 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). This five-year project, extending through June 30, 2031, addresses the critical need to optimize post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms for widespread deployment across diverse computing platforms. The primary deliverables include improved performance and security enhancements of standardized PQC algorithms, specifically hash-based, lattice-based, and code-based schemes, optimized for central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), and embedded systems including microcontrollers and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The project delivers comprehensive research outcomes encompassing hardware-accelerated cryptographic implementations, systematic vulnerability assessments at the hardware level, and defense mechanisms against side-channel attacks such as timing, cache, power, and fault-based threats. Key technical approaches include parallel processing optimization, instruction-level tuning, hardware-software co-design, and implementation of masking and randomized scheduling defenses. Broader impacts include promotion of open-source secure implementations, support for quantum-resistant infrastructure adoption, and workforce development initiatives that strengthen national cybersecurity readiness in preparation for the quantum computing era.Federal Grant Award Summary
