Research on Anonymous Service Security Systems for Cloud-Edge-End Cross-Domain Collaboration

This project addresses the challenges of collaboration between cross-domain entities in Cloud-Edge-End environments caused by a lack of mutual trust. We aim to construct a secure system for anonymous cross-domain collaborative services. Funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) General Program (PI, 2026-2029).

Key Technologies for Full-Domain Data Security Control in Low-Altitude Intelligent Networks

Targeting future Low-Altitude Economy scenarios, this project develops technologies to ensure that data remains trusted, available, and manageable across the entire low-altitude domain. Funded by the NSFC Joint Fund for Regional Innovation and Development (Key Project) (Main Contributor, 2025-2028).

Integrated Security Defense Systems and Key Technologies for Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs)

Exploring the fusion of active and passive security defense systems for Intelligent Connected Vehicles. Funded by the NSFC Joint Fund for Regional Innovation and Development (Key Project) (Main Contributor, 2024-2027).
