Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research
After the success of the 1st and 2nd National Cryptology Conference in 2004 and 2006 organized by the Institute for Mathematical Research, Universiti Putra Malaysia, a suggestion was mooted for the formation of a Malaysian cryptology society. The pro-tem committee submitted the application to the Malaysian Registrar of Societies and the society was formally established in 2007.
The Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research (MSCR) is a non-profit organization consisting of academics, researchers, specialists, students and institutions interested to further research in cryptology and related fields.
MSCR sets its sight on being a premier research society in the field of cryptology and realizing the full potential of cryptography for Malaysia.
Since its inception, MSCR has been actively engaged by agencies seeking advice related to cryptography and cryptology in general.
Modern Mission
The refreshed MSCR platform positions the society around cryptographic sovereignty, post-quantum readiness, trusted digital infrastructure, secure implementation, cryptanalysis capability, and collaboration across government, academia, and industry.
