In a Nutshell

My primary occupation is Computer Science research in the area of information systems security and applied crypto, with a current focus on usability of security. I am particularly excited by security mechanism designs that are simple as possible (but not simpler) and work in a decentralized fashion (i.e without the need for a common root of trust).

My alma mater is the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. My current and past affiliations include FXPAL, Fraunhofer IGD, ICSI, INI-GraphicsNet and the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
