Evgenios Kornaropoulos, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, College of Engineering and Computing (CEC), is set to receive funding for: “CAREER: Encrypted Systems with Fine-Grained Leakage.”
Kornaropoulos is examining encrypted systems with fine-grained leakage by focusing on three interdependent thrusts: (1) impossibility of reconstructions given a fine-grained leakage; (2) cryptographic designs that satisfy a fine-grained leakage; and (3) applications of the fine-grained leakage approach in different contexts.
He aims to understand this new cryptographic paradigm under different settings and develop designs with customized efficiency-security trade-offs.
Kornaropoulos will receive $648,811 from the National Science Foundation for this project. Funding will begin in May 2025 and will end in late April 2030.
