The IMDEA Software Institute has been awarded the AutoCrypt project, a joint project with Stanford University, University of Pennsylvania, and SRI. The project is funded by ONR and will run from July 2012 until July 2015.
AutoCrypt aims to use computer technology to provide mathematical guarantees that a cryptographic algorithm is secure, and that it is adequate for a given product, process, or service.
The IMDEA Software team will use EasyCrypt to develop a systematic classification of cryptographic algorithms and to create a cryptographic atlas that will be used by researchers and companies to choose the most suitable algorithm for their needs.
