Cutting-edge research in information security and related fields is one of our top priorities. In addition to proposing and developing next-generation cryptographic schemes for use in tomorrow's computer software and microprocessors, we also constantly evaluate other proposals and established systems for weaknesses or security flaws that could be exploited by malicious third parties. Our 21 members utilize some of the more powerful computers systems available to help accomplish this task, including a Beowulf 64 node (256 CPU, 128gb RAM) cluster server, and our own dedicated 24-node cluster server.
