Efficient Cryptanalysis

You have a new cryptographic algorithm that you think is unbreakable; you want to sell it to the world. 

You're wondering whether a cryptanalyst at a university will, within a few months, find a flaw that discredits you and your company and ruins your chances of regaining any market share for your algorithm?

That's the question every algorithm designer asks.  We're here to answer that question.

Jim Frazer "founded modern cryptographic evaluation" according to the US National Security Agency.  In his 58-year career as a cryptographer, he oversaw the evaluation of every American crypto device for twenty years and continued to support government and commercial crypto systems following his retirement. 

In 1985 Jim founded Information Security Systems Inc. (ISSI).  He put together a team of the best US cryptographers and uses them to quickly attack an algorithm or key management system from all angles.  In 2009 he spun off the commercial side of the business and formed Jim Frazer & Son Cryptography using the same masterful cryptanalysts that have made ISSI a legend.  ISSI now works strictly on government systems.

We are Fast and Efficient

We once had a commercial algorithm presented for evaluation by a reputable US defense contractor.  As some of us stood at the conference room window watching the client's car drive away, others had scribbled three separate attacks on the white boards.

Of course better algorithms take longer than that one.  An excellent algorithm may take a few months to find a crack in the armor that can be exploited by a cryptanalyst.

The punch line is--we've always found a crack in the armor.  Every single algorithm has been broken then repaired by the designer until we were satisfied that the algorithm was strong.  You owe it yourself to use Jim Frazer & Son Cryptography.
