Public Speaking

These talks primarily took place in various areas of Europe where I talked about mix networks, a kind of anonymous communication network.

My goal in these talks was to make some complex topics understandable to a non-technical audience and to advocate for privacy enhancing technology, especially anonymous communication networks. I believe that people’s untrained mathematical intuition is enough of a prerequisite for understanding deeply technical and complex topics involving cryptography and probability theory.
