FAPESP and Intel announce call for proposals Versão em português
The institutions issue first public call for proposals to support research projects in the fields of cryptography, data communications and software (URO/Intel)
FAPESP and Intel’s corporate University Research Office (URO) announce a public call for proposals under the cooperation agreement signed by the institutions in April 24, 2013.
Interested researchers, working within public or private higher education or research institutions in the State of São Paulo, are invited to submit proposals on side-channel resistant security for lightweight Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
IoT devices are expected to proliferate significantly in the coming years and pose unique challenges due to limited hardware resources, energy constraints, cost limitations, low bandwidth, and physical exposure to attackers.
FAPESP and Intel request proposals for non-incremental research leading to compelling techniques and technologies that will make future lightweight IoT devices significantly more secure against side channel attacks than the current state-of-the-art.
Research proposals in response to this challenge are expected to address one or more of the following vectors: cryptography, data communications and software. In addition, proposals that suggest a compelling topic lying outside these research vectors yet within program objectives and goals are welcome.
Research proposals must also satisfy the conditions and restrictions of the FAPESP Program for Cooperative Research for Technological Innovation (PITE) described at www.fapesp.br/pite, excluding those restrictions and conditions explicitly excepted in this CFP.
Intel and FAPESP contemplate funding a cluster of 2-year grant proposals. Each would be renewable annually contingent upon satisfactory progress and continued promise in research direction. The total amount available for this CFP is up to US$ 200,000 and the last date for receiving proposals is February 21, 2014.
