This $1,600,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) aims to improve the resilience of space systems against cyber attacks. The grant supports the development of new cryptographic techniques and distributed algorithms to prevent, mitigate, and recover from cyber attacks on space systems, taking into account the unique characteristics of space-based architectures.

The key research activities include creating succinct non-interactive arguments, constructing threshold cryptographic systems for key management, and developing secure computation protocols to detect potentially compromised satellites or network nodes. The principal investigators from Stony Brook University and University of California, Berkeley, along with a collaborator from Tel Aviv University, will publish research papers and articles documenting their work. This fundamental research project seeks to provide innovative cryptographic solutions to strengthen the cybersecurity of critical space assets and infrastructure.
