My mission is to use my skills to improve the freedom, security and privacy of individuals globally. The best way I have thought of to achieve this is to direct my energy towards improving the functionality and security of decentralized technologies and development of open source software which solves fundamental security problems we face today.

Some areas that I like to focus on are applied cryptography, supply chain security, secure system design, threat modelling, penetration testing, secure code review, and more broadly analyzing systems for weaknesses and designing “reasonably secure” systems by thinking from first principles.

Projects

  • Distrust: Security consultancy focusing on high risk clients.

  • StageX: A minimal deterministic Linux distribution

  • libfakerand: A rust lib for overriding system calls which fetch entropy

  • Milk Sad Disclosure: Cryptographic vulnerability in libbitcoin
