Cryptography & protocols
Review threat models, key rotation, device transitions and traceable protocol states.
Universities / independent research
Verifiable security starts with independent questions.
VENTEX Connect opens clearly scoped research work to universities, research groups and supervised theses. No institutional partnerships are currently claimed.

Usable security
Make security decisions understandable and operable by people under real-world pressure.
Distributed systems
Study synchronisation, realtime state, offline behaviour and consistent multi-device use.
Privacy engineering
Minimise metadata, limit retention and produce evidence without unnecessary personal data.
Software supply chain
Independently verify builds, dependencies, artefacts and reproducible releases.
Operational collaboration
Evaluate Mission Rooms, roles and decision histories under realistic conditions.
COLLABORATION FORMATS
From a supervised thesis to independent replication.
Supervised thesis
A scoped research question, academic supervision and an agreed publication process.
Seminar or project group
A reproducible evaluation with test environment, evidence and final presentation.
Independent review
A time-boxed technical review using responsible disclosure for security findings.
Research pilot
Joint evaluation of one clearly defined, non-production use case.
MUTUAL COMMITMENT
What both sides commit to provide.

RESEARCH / INTAKE
Open research enquirySubmit a research question that can be evaluated.
Describe the institution, supervision, method, expected timeframe and required access. A partnership starts only after joint written approval.
