Award Overview
The National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded UC Berkeley a Project Grant of $377,003 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) effective January 1, 2026 through April 30, 2030. This CAREER award funds the development of cryptographic tools and privacy-preserving web services that enable internet users to access web-based applications without exposing unencrypted personal data to service providers. Deliverables and Research Components
The project will produce three distinct privacy-protecting web services: (1) a private machine-learning inference system allowing clients to evaluate server-side machine learning models on sensitive data without revealing input information to the service provider; (2) a private search capability enabling users to query large document repositories without disclosing search queries to search engine servers; and (3) private web browsing functionality protecting user activity from visibility to web service operators. Additionally, the award supports educational deliverables including undergraduate course content and an openly available textbook addressing security and systems topics in an integrated manner, contributing to workforce development in cryptography and privacy-preserving technologies.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
