Our Research
High-impact cryptology and information security
Essential security protocols for communications, such as those used in email, cloud computing and IoT devices, are based on cryptographic algorithms. CryptoLUX analyses these algorithms and designs new, more efficient ones to establish the secure standards of the future. The group also investigates security, privacy, and scalability aspects of blockchain-based technologies for FinTech.
