Periodic Reporting for period 1 - DCM (Distributed Cryptography Module)

Reporting period: 2014-11-01 to 2016-04-30

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The aim of the DCM project was to evaluate the commercial feasibility of the DCM technology. This technology utilizes secure multiparty computation in order to provide protection of secret keys used for cryptographic operations. The project focused primarily on the business and market aspects of the DCM, with some development carried out for the purpose of preparing a demo that can be shown to potential customers and investors. The project was very successful and culminated in the opening of a startup company named Dyadic Security Ltd.
