Cryptography
Cryptography enables the private, authenticated, and confidential communication that allows the internet to thrive. We’re researching quantum-safe cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and lattice-based cryptography, to secure everything from mainframes to the hybrid cloud.

Tools + code
Open Quantum Safe
An open-source project to support the development and prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography.
View project →HELayers – Community Edition
SDKs for computing on encrypted data without decrypting it, provided via Docker container. Equipped with C++ and Python API’s and includes Jupyter Notebooks and VS Code IDEs with demonstrations, tutorials and documentation for AI/ML and encrypted search applications. Support for Linux, Intel, MacOS and s390x platforms.
