- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps the Government is taking to support the UK's sovereign cryptographic industry.
- Answer
-
The Defence and Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS) required cryptographic capability (referred to as Crypt-Key) is a strategic imperative for the UK and, accordingly, the UK requirement to maintain a national Crypt-Key (CK) capability.
The Ministry of Defence works closely with the National Cyber Security Centre, which is the lead for Crypt-Key, to develop a more detailed CK industrial strategy that will implement the principles outlined in the DSIS and grow the sovereign CK industrial base.
