Kryptosec

Mark's experience ranges from the design and analysis of encryption products and cryptographic solutions through to writing and presenting training courses. Furthermore, his background as a technology specialist is allied with practical experience of applying security technologies in the real world, including the additional elements that must be in place in order for such technologies to be as effective as possible.

Although his principal focus is on practical security, Mark also maintains ties with the academic research community and has published research papers, an example of which can be found below.
