The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $126,995 to The Trustees of The Stevens Institute of Technology under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) for a Cybersecurity Research for Incubation and Innovation (CRII) project commencing October 1, 2025 and concluding July 31, 2026. This project delivers systematic security and efficiency improvements to the Ethereum peer-to-peer (P2P) network through three primary research deliverables: (1) an automated testing framework to identify incompatible communication protocols in Ethereum clients; (2) a differential fuzzing framework to detect inconsistent propagation behaviors that could enable denial-of-service attacks; and (3) a dynamic propagation model that optimizes transaction propagation based on network conditions while mitigating neighbor privacy leakage. In addition to research outputs, the award supports educational contributions through the development of two new courses: a foundational course on cryptography and blockchain applications and a graduate-level elective on blockchain security. These research and educational products directly address critical vulnerabilities in Ethereum's P2P network architecture related to client compatibility, behavioral consistency, and node privacy—challenges of increasing importance as blockchain technology adoption expands across finance, healthcare, and gaming sectors.Federal Grant Award Summary
