CIS Lab at NTT Research is unique because of our simultaneous pursuit of new paradigms of trust in an ever-smarter world. With two key prongs of focus, CIS Lab explores fundamental Cryptography problems as well as foundational Blockchain technologies. Our common goal is to protect the integrity of everything from human identity to multi-national transaction. Indeed, CIS drives us toward a future wherein the security of information – the stuff that enables our individuality as people and our interdependence as a global society – becomes a true cornerstone of progress.
