The National Science Foundation Division of Computer and Network Systems awarded the Regents of the University of California at Riverside $384,000 on October 1, 2026, through the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop theories and techniques for automating access control enforcement in decentralized microservice systems. The project addresses vulnerabilities in cloud computing architectures where policy definition and enforcement are separated and runtime changes can create unauthorized access gaps. The work includes developing principled approaches for systematic vulnerability testing of microservice systems and automated methods for hardening access control enforcement based on test results. The research is particularly relevant to agentic microservices, where semantic gaps between user intent and agent execution complicate access control decisions. The project will release open-source tools and train cybersecurity researchers and practitioners, with broader applications to security and resilience in healthcare, finance, and transportation systems. Performance runs through September 30, 2029, at UC Riverside's campus in Riverside, California.
