The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded New York University $299,025 on August 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to conduct collaborative research on randomness extraction and error-correcting codes against computationally bounded adversaries. The project develops deterministic randomness extractors for efficiently samplable weak sources, including low-entropy classical and quantum sources and sources subject to leakage or bounded-depth generation. It constructs non-malleable extractors whose outputs remain random even when an adversary observes the extractor applied to tampered or correlated versions of the same source, with emphasis on adaptive tampering and many correlated sources. The work also develops error-correcting and related coding techniques that operate under computational constraints, extending classical information-theoretic models to settings where randomness sources, communication channels, and attackers face feasible computation limits. These advances support secure communications, robust data storage, privacy-preserving systems, and trustworthy digital infrastructure. Performance occurs in New York, New York. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029.
