Typical Commercial Projects
- A startup communications company, designing a multicast system for cellular phones, needed a simple encryption algorithm to increase privacy. Jim Frazer & Son Cryptography provided cryptanalytic advice to the algorithm designer to maximize the strength of the algorithm within the considerable design constraints of the system.
- A large communications equipment manufacturer needed advice on the design of new cryptographic algorithms for the cellular network. Jim Frazer & Son Cryptography cryptanalyzed the algorithm through several iterations and provided design guidance to the client's cryptographers which led to an algorithm sufficient to provide security for the network.
- An intellectual property attorney required expert testimony on a patent infringement case involving a cryptographic algorithm. Jim Frazer & Son Cryptography provided a team of two world-class mathematicians and one hardware engineer to support the attorney's review of the details of the key management system design and to present the technical evidence in court.
- A network security firm, considering a joint venture with a startup company who had developed a new authentication scheme, needed an evaluation of the strength of the scheme and the marketability of a product based on the scheme. Jim Frazer & Son Cryptography provided the information that the client needed to determine that the product would not be marketable, saving considerable expense and manpower.
- An cellular industry association required a system security risk analysis of new authentication protocols in the cellular telephone network. ISSI provided a multi-disciplinary team of experts to analyze the various aspects of security and provided a timely report to the client.
