What CRYPTOCRAFT LIMITED does

Cryptocraft Ltd is a UK-based private limited company founded in 2012 by mathematician Matthew Dodd, operating as a specialist cryptography consultancy headquartered in Broadchalke, Salisbury, Wiltshire. The firm designs, analyses, implements, and integrates cryptographic algorithms — including stream ciphers, block ciphers, and symmetric/asymmetric key implementations — drawing on a proprietary in-house cryptographic library that avoids third-party licensing. Its founder-authored MICKEY stream cipher was selected from 34 submissions to be one of 7 algorithms in the European Commission eSTREAM project's final portfolio, providing a recognised technical credential in the field.

The business operates two integrated service lines: bespoke cryptographic consultancy (algorithm design, evaluation, cryptanalysis, and integration for enterprise clients) and cryptology training courses delivered either as residential programmes in Salisbury or on-site at client premises worldwide. The customer base spans satellite communications (Globalstar, Inmarsat), telecommunications (AT&T, Airtel, Dolphin, Mobiltel), telecommunications standards bodies (ETSI), defense and security (Thales), financial services (Visa International), and consumer technology (WhatsApp). Cryptocraft has also delivered the Advanced Cryptography module for the M.Sc. in Information Security by Distance Learning at Royal Holloway, University of London since 2013.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional-services engagements on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, with no public pricing, subscriptions, or productised software offerings. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging the founder's industry reputation, technical blog, and prior engagements rather than any marketing infrastructure or channel partnerships. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no partnerships or alliances, no headcount disclosures, and operates as a founder-owned entity with effectively all delivery capacity tied to a single principal.
