Current Funding

None! In anticipation of retiring from UC Davis during the Summer of 2023, I have let my NSF funding end, not requesting any new grants for several years.

NSF CNS 1717542, Crypto-for-Privacy (SaTC: CORE: Small). 2017-2022. Thanks to program managers Nina Amla and Susanne Wetzel.
NSF CNS 1314885, Authenticated Ciphers (TWC: Option: Medium: Collaborative). 2013-17. Thanks to program manager Ralph Wachter.
NSF CNS 1228828, Deconstructing encryption (TWC: Phase: Medium: Collaborative). With Mihir Bellare. Thanks to program manager Nina Amla.
NSF CNS 0904380, Reimagining cryptography by identifying its culturally-rooted assumptions (TC: Medium). With Mihir Bellare and Ted Krovetz. Thanks to program managers Richard Beigel, Lenore Zuck, and Nina Amla.
NSF CCR-0208842 (ITR small). With Mihir Bellare. “Practice-oriented provable security for higher-layer protocols: models, analyses, and solutions.” Thanks to program director Carl Landwehr.
NSF 0085961 (ITR medium). “Scalable and secure information republication.” With Prem Devanbu (PI, lead), Michael Gertz, and Chip Martel.
NSF CAREER Award 9624560, “Practice-oriented provable security.” Special thanks to program manager Dana Latch, who refused to allow the NSA kill this award.
Some gifts: ➢ MICRO grant 97-150 (Certicom and RSA). Thanks to Don Johnson and Burt Kaliski. ➢ Intel Corporation (annual gifts). “A practice-oriented provable-security treatment for some cryptographic problems of contemporary interest.” Many thanks to Jesse Walker. ➢ Cisco Systems, under their University Research Program (URP). Many thanks to David McGrew.

I have never been funded by the DoD (the U.S. Department of Defense): no grants from DARPA, Navy, MURI, NSA, etc.. While their program managers may support good and worthwhile science, these organizations embody values antithetical to my own. I encourage faculty and students to take a principled stance and refuse to request or accept funding from military organizations.
Similarly, do we really want Facebook or Chevron, say, to be paying for, and thereby helping to shape, the work that goes on at universities? Not only individuals, but departments, colleges, and research units can and should say No.

Why are faculty proud of how much money they bring in? Be pleased instead if you can do lots of good work with very little money.
