Security and Cryptography

The researchers and engineers in the MSR Security and Cryptography team pursue both theoretical and applied research in our field that will have an impact on Microsoft, Microsoft’s customers, and the industry at large. Our current projects include the design and development of quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms and protocols, high-performance post-quantum cryptographic libraries, quantum cryptanalysis, and end-to-end verifiable election technology.
