Bio
Paul Syverson---an inventor of onion routing and other technologies, a creator of Tor, an author of one book on the foundations of logic and over a hundred refereed papers, a chair of many security and privacy conferences, an editor of several journals, a recovering unicyclist---has received some patents, several advanced degrees in philosophy and mathematics, and an origami magic rabbit folded for him by Gus Simmons. He is a founder of both the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium and the ACM Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society. Among his accolades he was most recently recognized as one of the inaugural Identity 25, Okta's annual list of top movers and shakers in the Identity world. For nearly four decades as Mathematician at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, he has investigated authentication, epistemic logic, information flow in probabilistic systems, incentives in protocols and systems, anonymity, blocking resistance, metadata-secure communication, and other aspects of security and privacy. Paul has served as director of international computer security organizations and has been a visiting scholar and guest lecturer at universities and institutes in the U.S. and Europe.Talk
