-# Overview
-
-Recent revelations have called into question the integrity of some of
-the implementations of basic cryptographic functions and devices used to
-secure communications on the Internet. There are serious questions about
-algorithms and about implementations of those algorithms in software and
-particularly hardware. The goal of the [CrypTech](https://cryptech.is)
-project is to provide some possible answers to those questions by
-developing an open-source hardware cryptographic engine that meets the
-needs of high assurance Internet infrastructure systems that use
-cryptography.
-
-The algorithmic issues are in the domain of the heavy math cryptography
-folk; the implementation issues are the primary focus of the project.
-The open-source hardware cryptographic engine must be of general use to
-the broad Internet community, covering needs such as secure email, web,
-DNS, PKIs, etc.
-
-The intent of the project is that the final open-source hardware cryptographic
-engine can be built by anyone from public hardware specifications and
-open-source firmware. Anyone can then operate it without fees of any
-kind.
-
-# About Us
-[CrypTech.IS](https://cryptech.is) is a loose international collective
-of [WhoWeAre engineers] trying to improve assurance and privacy on the
-Internet. It is funded diversely and is administratively quartered outside
-the US.
-
-We are actively seeking use cases for an initial project which is to
-produce a design of an open and auditable Hardware Security Module (HSM)
-and supporting software.
-
-We are also considering the issues around assurance of a tool-chain,
-from compiler to operating system and as close to the hardware as we can
-reasonably get.
-
-The project solicits functional requirements from a wide range of
-organizations. It will focus on the classic low level cryptographic
-functions and primitives, and not get drawn into re-implementation of
-application protocol layers.
-
-We hope that a group of interested organizations will offer funding
-for development, and that the IACR and public sector cryptographers will
-provide algorithmic advice and wide and open review. If you or your
-organization is interested in helping this effort, please consider
-offering [financial support](https://cryptech.is/funding/) to keep the
-work flowing.
