EspañolSTEFAN BRANDS
'Stefan Brands' (born 1967) is a Dutch computer scientist specializing in privacy issues. He is CEO and founder of Credentica, a company which commercializes his inventions in privacy-protecting PKIs. He is also Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at McGill University. He is the author of "Rethinking Public Key Infrastructures and Digital Certificates; Building in Privacy."
As the journalist Wendy M. Grossman neatly sums up [1], Stefan is the only person on the planet who has worked for both previous attempts to commercialise privacy: Digicash and Zero-Knowledge Systems. The ideas behind all three companies are traceable to David Chaum, whose 1992 Scientific American article [2] introduced cryptographic "blinding" to deliver both security and privacy into transactions environments.
Involvement in companies: Radialpoint, Credentica, Trustifi.
