The National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded $559,850 to the University of South Florida on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) for collaborative research on quantum-secure and artificial intelligence-enabled next-generation cellular networks. The project develops methods to protect wireless networks from emerging threats posed by future quantum computers, malicious network infrastructure, and attacks targeting AI-driven network management. Research centers on three connected thrusts: compact and private post-quantum cryptographic tools including identity-based signatures, threshold signatures, and blind signature protocols; resilience mechanisms against quantum and AI-targeted attacks on cellular infrastructure; and AI-enabled network management systems with security safeguards. Deliverables include open-source software, protocol implementations, formal models, datasets, and evaluation tools for industrial adoption and standards development. The project runs through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Tampa, Florida. Educational activities introduce students to post-quantum security, cellular networking, AI security, and privacy-preserving computation. Outreach engages undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and pre-college learners through research experiences, cybersecurity programs, and community activities to expand participation and prepare a workforce capable of building resilient communication systems.
