"My colleagues at MIT and I have been building simple quantum computers and executing quantum algorithms since 1996, as have other scientists around the world. Quantum computers work as promised. If they can be scaled up, to thousands or tens of thousands of qubits from their current size of a dozen or so, watch out!”
Prof Seth Lloyd of MIT, MIT Review 2008

“The more complex the threats become, the more you have to do the basics and groundwork really well. Staying aware and on top of new vulnerabilities and ensuring that patches and software updates are rapidly implemented is crucial.”

“Business now relies on information infrastructures that are interlinked and interdependent… The way in which these hidden interdependencies pervade our everyday lives is staggering and, in some cases, may go unchecked for many years until an incident occurs that revels the true nature of the interdependences' impact.”Read more...

Technologies
TruSIP
The Trustworthy Resilient Universal Secure Infrastructure Platform (TruSIP) is our proposal to create a universally trustworthy and dependable computing platform suitable for hosting mission critical operations.
TruSIP for Clouds
TruSIP has the ability to maintain availability, integrity and confidentiality against both insider and outsider attacks. This unique capability can ensure adequate user-centric security controls for sensitive data in high performance private and public clouds.
TruSIP for ICS
TruSIP is designed to ensure availability and integrity of time critical services against latent vulnerabilities and malware, making it ideal for industrial control systems (ICS) and critical infrastructure such as Smart Grids.
Group KX
A low cost alternative to commercial quantum key distribution systems for applications requiring a higher level of security assurance.
Enterprise KX
A protocol optimised for low cost key exchanges capable of up to 100 year security for inter-organisation and industry-based communications.
Universal KX
A protocol for a global key exchange ecosystem capable of 100 year security between billions of users.
ID Based Encryption
The Synaptic Identifier Based Encryption enables secure communications in the Enterprise and Universal key exchange protocols by simplifying key management down to requiring only an email address.
Idigram
An innovative symmetric technique. Idigrams are employed within Synaptic Labs' three key exchange protocols to improve system performance. Idigrams can also be employed to achieve long term data integrity.
PQSDES cipher-hash
Upgrade the NIST DES cipher to a 256-bit post quantum secure high speed secure cipher and hash function in software.
PQSAES cipher-hash
Upgrade the NIST AES cipher to a 256-bit post quantum secure high speed secure cipher and hash function in software.
VEST cipher-hash
A high speed hardware dedicated cipher and hash function family for low circuit area and high bandwidth applications.
Assisted Digital Signatures
A technique for enabling 10 to 100 year secure digital signatures on smart cards with the assistance of a partially untrusted host computer.
Notary Digital Signatures
A technique for enabling 10 to 100 year secure digital signatures on smart cards that do not have the processing power to perform any of the computational work.
PQSDES
Digital Signatures
A technique for enabling 10 to 100 year secure digital signatures on smart cards that have a high speed hardware implementation of the NIST DES cipher.
IC Protection
Highly efficient techniques for locking each manufactured chip to mitigate against reverse-engineering and over manufacture attacks from inside and outside the design house.
Firmware Protection
Highly efficient design and implementation techniques for migitaging firmware reverse-engineering and over manufacture attacks from inside and outside the design house.
Software Protection
An innovative technique for designing and producing trusted software that mitigates against reverse-engineering and over manufacture attacks from inside and outside the design house.
Network of the Future
Synaptic is bringing together the above technologies in a new secure network of the future protocol. The protocol is designed to support 100 gigabit/s packet switching, routing and link-level encryption in standard semiconductor processes.

Synaptic Laboratories and the Gozo Business Chamber (EU) have co-founded the ICT Gozo Malta cluster of excellence. This cluster of excellence will work in close collaboration with key Government and private stakeholders and leading International companies to develop many of Synaptic Labs' innovative technologies listed above. The secure computing project (TruSIP), the range of key exchanges and identifier based encryption schemes, the Idigram protocol, and the Network of the Future (Janelda) proposals will be implemented as part of the ICT Gozo Malta Global-scale Cyber Security project and Exoskeleton extensions. The relationships between the development projects is visually illustrated here. Synaptic has recently completed the requirements analysis and solved the outstanding technical problems preventing efficient, robust cryptographic operations with 100+ year security ratings on a wide range of platforms. These technologies are described individually above. Synaptic is weaving these technologies together into a higher level cross-domain security framework that will address system level issues such as the choice of communications technology (contact vs wireless) and address single points of security failure found in today's protocols. This security framework will reach across and address the common security problems found within traditionally specialised application spaces such as eCommerce, RFID, contactless payment and commercial and international identity management. Synaptic Labs' goal is to build a universal secure computation and communications infrastructure that comprehensively addresses the fundamental security requirements that are common to all IT applications within a coherent interoperable framework. With this solid security platform system integrators and managed security services can then focus their energies on managing equally important application specific security requirements and processes.
