Researches security of cryptographic systems. Sample research interests:

• Special-purpose hardware for attacking cryptosystems (e.g., the TWIRL integer factorization device).
• Side-channel attacks (e.g., acoustic cryptanalysis and cryptanalysis of CPU caches).

Survived the bubble startup trenches, with only minor permanent damage due to close exposure to 3D graphics and GIS. Sysop of Northern Castle BBS (currently running at 0MHz on a backup CD). Serves his duty to society as syadmin of several free websites (Haayal Hakore, Fisheye, ISFSF&F) and by occasional contributions to open source projects.

ObCoolGadget: I say, if it can't serve as a lethal weapon, it's not worth typing on. And who needs those pesky key symbols anyway? My main keyboard is a custom-made buckling spring beauty, forged from the fabric of night during the Age of Startups by the grand masters of Unicomp, holders of the Sacred Patents of the IBM Model M. It bears the color of a black holes, the briskness of novas and the heft of neutron stars. Which explains why it sounds like a Geiger counter. Pure joy.
