Cybersecurity and Cyberbreaches
From electronic medical devices and health records to safety-critical automotive electronics and mission-critical cloud-hosted business applications and distributed databases, the stakes have never been higher for network/data security and privacy.
At Barr Group we have been in the business of designing secure computers since our founding and our staff includes world-leading cybersecurity experts and trainers. Our areas of expertise include:
- Symmetric and asymmetric (public key) encryption and decryption
- Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)
- Digital rights management (DRM) for software activation, e-books, etc.
- Privacy and cybersecurity of electronic voting systems (e-voting)
- Encryption and decryption algorithms such as DES, RSA, and AES
- User authentication and digital signatures
- Zero-knowledge tests and secure hashes (e.g., MD5)
- Firewalls and secure network protocols (TLS/SSL, SSH/SFTP, WAP/WEP)
- Biometric security, including fingerprints, retina scans, and facial recognition
- Computer viruses and other malware such as trojans and ransomware
- Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and other attacks
- Trusted computing modules like TPM and secure bootloaders
Barr Group's cybersecurity experts are familiar with all major operating systems--such as Linux/Android, iOS, and Windows--and programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, C/C++, C#, Objective-C, Python, Perl, PHP, and assembly.
