Anagram Laboratories

1986 ~ 23^st Anniversary ~ 2009

Anagram Laboratories is an information security consultancy based in Palo Alto, CA. Anagram was founded in 1986, back before information security was cool. Dr. Thomas A. Berson, Anagram's owner, has more than 35 years experience in cryptology and computer security.

We like to see the results of our work actually being used, so we prefer to work for companies which dominate or expect to dominate their markets. Our customers tend to be shy about their information security measures, and that's fine with us. You won't find any client lists here.

For our clients, we chiefly

• Design and analyze cryptosystems, cryptographic protocols, and cryptographic algorithms,
• Perform penetration analyses on operating systems and networks,
• Advise on information conflict.

We believe that information security is not only about technology, but also about art and science, about schedule and budget, about politics, negotiation and communication. We work for our clients in all these domains and others as appropriate.

SKYPE CRYPTOSYSTEM SECURITY: We were engaged by Skype to do an independent analysis of Skype information security, with an emphasis on cryptography. We were allowed access to the engineers and the source code. Our report contains the first authoritative description of the Skype cryptosystem.
