Expertise

  • Low level cryptography like elliptic curves, threshold crypto, zero knowledge proofs.
  • All things decentralized and federated - blockchains, consensus protocols, trust levels.
  • Security when designing systems.

Mission

Make the world a federated place: like Switzerland and its 26 cantons, the internet should be more connected islands than centralized molochs.

Current Work

  • Making electronic identities more privacy preserving with cryptography
