Our collaborative proposal submitted in response to the NIST’s National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) Pilot Grant Program has been invited for the next round of competition. Only 27 pre-proposals were selected out of a total of 186 submissions; an acceptance rate of merely 14.5%. The proposal centers around our work on usable authentication primitives and fault-tolerant distributed security services. This grant is expected to fund up to $4M over a period of two years per proposal.
