Description:

“I have used the blockchain as a method in my practice since 2013. But I was already playing with cryptography well before the blockchain existed. My father was in MI5, the counter-intelligence branch of the British military during World War II. He was a German Jew, but had Czech papers so he was able to serve as an intelligence officer. Although he was Jewish, had they known he was German he could only have served on the front lines. In any case, he shared the most fantastical stories about the kinds of weapon you read about in 007 novels as well as cryptographic methods to send secure messages or decrypt enemy communications. I think this played no small part in my interest in encryption.” - Kevin Abosch
