The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded Clemson University $189,999 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance lattice-based cryptography and number theory research through August 31, 2029. The project develops new encryption methods employing simultaneous approximation lattices to address security threats posed by quantum computing to current cryptosystems. Research deliverables include a lattice-based cryptosystem developed collaboratively with undergraduate and graduate students, computation of explicit full-rank unit subgroups in Galois monogenic number fields to enable faster ideal class group computation and short vector discovery in ideal lattices, analysis of Markoff triple dynamics over finite fields to resolve the McCullough-Wanderley and Baragar conjectures, derivation of new upper bounds on p-torsion rank of ideal class groups in p-extensions, and investigation of geometric relationships between periodic packing density and related lattice properties. The research will generate applications across number theoretic algorithms, materials science, and information theory while training the next generation of STEM professionals through student engagement in theoretical research and programming. Work is performed in Clemson, South Carolina. Clemson University's Division of Research receives the award as the parent organization.
