Secure systems engineering
We design, build, and review systems where security comes first — at every layer of the stack.
CE Labs builds systems where security is a requirement, not an afterthought. We work across the full depth of the stack — from the architecture down to the cryptography it rests on — and bring formal methods to bear where correctness matters most.
Systems & architecture
We model threats, draw trust boundaries, and design systems that stay secure under real-world pressure — adversarial users, partial compromise, and long operational lifetimes. The result is an architecture whose security properties are stated precisely, not assumed.
Protocols & key management
Key exchange, authentication, identity, transport, key lifecycle. We design new protocols and review existing ones against the formal security models — and the threats — they actually face, closing the gap between “looks fine” and “provably resists the attacks in scope.”
Cryptography engineering
The algorithms at the foundation: implemented for performance and correctness, hardened against side channels, and ready for the post-quantum transition.
Machine-checked proofs
When the stakes call for it, we go further: machine-checked proofs that the code meets its specification — the strongest assurance there is. We deliver the code, the spec, and a verified guarantee that the two agree.
How we engage
Engagements typically run Design → Specify → Implement → Analyze: we design the system with you, pin down a precise specification, build to it with security designed in from the first line, then confirm the result holds through review, testing, and — where the stakes call for it — machine-checked proofs.
