By David Archer: “An organization evaluating blockchain technology for an application should look deeply at what it needs from such a technology. What do you need a blockchain to do? Are there other, simpler ways to accomplish those ends? When it comes to technology, simpler (and less costly) is almost always better if it meets […]
Isaac Potoczny-Jones, founder and CEO, Tozny said: “This is an excellent example of how developers make mistakes in implementing cryptography, which undermines the power of those toolkits. Crypto is extremely hard to get right.
“This legislation marks a sea change in the continuing conflict between personal privacy and public good,” said David Archer, principal research scientist at Galois, a computer science firm. “The technology mandated here assures two things: that public policies affecting real people can be decided based on factual data about them, and that the privacy of […]
As secure HTTPS becomes more pervasive, it is worth asking: why should you end-to-end encrypt data when HTTPS is pretty secure? The answer is that HTTPS is an important but small piece of the crypto puzzle. Organizations determining what additional security requirements are needed should start the process by answering a few key questions
We are excited to announce that Dr. John Launchbury is joining Galois as Chief Scientist. Dr. Launchbury was formerly the Director of the Information Innovation Office (I2O) at DARPA, where he led nation-scale investments in the future of cyber-security and artificial intelligence. Dr. Launchbury plans to pursue his vision of creating provably safe and secure […]
We’re excited to announce that Mike Dodds is joining Galois as a Principal Investigator. Dr. Dodds was previously a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York and has focused on using formal techniques to verify software correctness. His specific research interests include automated reasoning, separation logic, and concurrent data-structure correctness. […]
Legacy systems in the government are hard to secure against cyberattack, and that goes double for the embedded, real-time systems at the heart of the many control systems in advanced weapons, power plants and mission-critical infrastructure. Galois, a Portland, Ore.,-based secure software developer, has linked up with the Office of Naval Research under a three-year, […]
[…] there are a variety of methods to filter and redirect traffic, especially for those systems housed in the cloud. However, for the biggest attacks, and for institutions that cannot create replicated versions of their systems in the cloud, techniques such as 3DCoP are key in mitigating DDoS risk. Specifically, we believe that it is […]
We’re excited to announce that Galois spin-off Tozny is releasing their latest product, InnoVault. InnoVault enables developers to protect sensitive user data they collect simply by adding a few lines of code. It provides simple scripts for fronted code, easy SDKs on the backend, and an API with secure cloud storage behind it. Tozny spun off from Galois […]
