Federal Project Grant Summary Florida Institute of Technology Inc. received a $199,865 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. The project addresses physical layer side-channel vulnerabilities in post-quantum cryptographic implementations deployed on resource-constrained embedded devices such as smart meters, industrial sensors, and medical monitors. The research will generate empirical assessments of side-channel leakage in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, develop lightweight countermeasures compatible with energy and memory constraints of real-world systems, and produce open datasets and analysis tools to support secure deployment of post-quantum cryptography in embedded environments. In addition to research deliverables, the project includes a significant educational workforce development component. Florida Institute of Technology will train students in hardware security, embedded cryptography, and side-channel evaluation through hands-on laboratory modules, student research projects, senior design projects, and outreach activities via the institution's IEEE Student Branch. These activities are designed to strengthen the nation's workforce capacity for the transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic technologies, addressing a critical gap in implementation security as organizations prepare for the post-quantum computing era.
