The universi ty's intent is to make it the leading academic research and training centre for this vital information technology.
Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques used to make codes for information security.
As portable computing becomes the mode of the future, the demand for smaller, faster, more effective cryptographic technology is rapidly increasing. From basic credit card authorization to wireless transactions, cryptography can provide security and enhance efficiency of digital commerce. We are participating in this program to foster research into new cryptographic techniques, and encourage the discovery of new applications. Pitney Bowes has been researching and using cryptographic applications to help customers securely transmit data and funds since the 1960s. We are proud to help create this research centre and anticipate significant advances in the technology and its understanding.
