In Context

Stefan and his team are rock stars in privacy-enhancing crypto. Today their technology and patents were acquired by Microsoft as you can read here, here, here, here and here. I want to congratulate Stefan personally. Here’s a fellow entrepreneur, and someone I’m honored to call a friend who’s done it all. Developed a deep technology, created a startup to implement it, and (now) found a distribution channel to bring it to everyone. And if that wasn’t all, the kind of technology that Stefan has developed is key to bringing about an identity layer that doesn’t trade away personal privacy. That is, it supports selective disclosure while reducing traceability. Way to go Stefan!
