A master research collaboration agreement signed here yesterday between EADS Innovation Works Singapore and the Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) aims to build on a joint cryptography project completed in November 2007.

That work, involving the A*STAR Institute for Infocomm Research, yielded the design of two innovative cryptographic block ciphers for use in secure mobile communications and an in-depth analysis of homomorphic crypto-systems suitable for government electronic voting systems: the latter area of research relies on some esoteric-looking algebra, but the end result is a voting scheme where each voter casts exactly one ballot and the voting is anonymous.
