Who we are

Rosenpass is a cryptography research group that was foundend outside of a university or business context.
Most of us are from Germany, but we consider ourselves a decentralized, international association.

Code Contributors

The Rosenpass tool is only made possible due to the contributions of a wide variety of people, inside and outside the core team, ranging from academic crytographers to Rust enthusiasts. Their wealth of experience, knowledge, and perspectives have driven the code we present today. We are grateful for their commitment to a secure, free, open source internet, as well as the contributions of each and every one.

With support from

Rosenpass is also funded through NLNet's NGI Assure Fund, with financial support from the European Commission's Next Generation Internet programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology. Funding has been provided for the initial Rosenpass project and improvements to the Rosenpass API.

Rosenpass received funding and support through the ProtoType Fund's 14th round to reduce the privileges needed by the Rosenpass tool. The ProtoType Fund is a project of the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
