CLIAS is building on the diverse strengths of Canada's IAS leaders, creating linkages with academic institutions, corporations from a variety of sectors, and government players. We have formal linkages with the University of Waterloo, one of the Canada's other major players in cryptography and quantum computing. Formal agreements for collaboration with international research teams provide opportunities to remain abreast of theoretical and technological advances and provide access to world-class training to our students.

We benefit from, and support, industrial links with companies such as General Dynamics, NE2 and SGI Canada, all important industry players with vested interests in IAS. CLIAS supports their interests in IAS applications, ranging from wireless security to medical data protection to the implementation of specific cryptosystems. CLIAS is also developing links with security associations and organizations across Canada to ensure a cooperative approach to IAS.
