A more resilient tomorrow

Security begins with first principles.
So does the future of compute.

LSCO brings together research in post-quantum cryptographic primitives, information theory, and extreme-density microelectronics. Our work examines both the mathematical foundations of security and the materials, power, and thermal constraints of advanced computing.

Research domains / 01

Two frontiers.
One research mission.

Investigating resilient data infrastructure and the engineering needed to support the next generation of compute.

01 / Cryptographic foundations↗

Security beyond
conventional assumptions.

Research into non-lattice cryptographic approaches and dynamical systems. The Event Horizon Protocol explores information-theoretic security foundations and adversarial bounds beyond computational hardness assumptions.

02 / Physical computing limits↗

Microelectronics at
thermodynamic limits.

Project GATEWAY examines extreme-density compute architectures and their thermal constraints. Our research spans novel substrates, thermal resistance modeling, and heat extraction pathways for high-density computing environments.

The power wall
is a physical problem.

Higher compute density demands a rigorous understanding of how heat moves through the full materials stack. GATEWAY studies three-dimensional conduction, substrate geometry, and junction temperature constraints to develop engineering baselines for advanced architectures.

These are research design parameters under study. They are not claims of achieved commercial performance.

Our approach / 03

From foundations
to defensible engineering.

A research path that connects theoretical models, explicit assumptions, and practical integration requirements.

01 — DEFINE

Establish the foundation.

Identify the mathematical and physical constraints. Define threat models, security assumptions, and architecture requirements before making performance claims.

02 — EVALUATE

Examine the boundaries.

Study cryptographic adversarial bounds and model thermal resistance, conduction pathways, and junction temperature limits against explicit design parameters.

03 — TRANSITION

Connect research to use.

Work with industry and government stakeholders to evaluate operational integration, testing requirements, and pathways into critical systems.

Research & collaboration / 04

Explore what
comes next.

For researchers, industry partners, and government stakeholders working at the intersection of cryptography, advanced microelectronics, and critical infrastructure.
