Abu Dhabi’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), announced on Tuesday that its Cryptography Research Centre (CRC) has built the UAE’s first national and sovereign crypto library. The milestone is set to enable the country to safeguard vital and confidential sources of information.
The development follows a series of rapid announcements at the TII since the
first Advanced Technology Research Council board meeting in August 2020.
Researchers at the CRC, one of Technology Innovation Institute’s initial seven dedicated research centres, have already released multiple versions of the crypto library and are working on its seamless integration into the UAE’s critical digital infrastructure.
The library is a collection of algorithms that cryptographers use in a specific order to safeguard confidential and high-security information.
