As a PhD student, I also write scientific texts. My main interests are in privacy and security, as you can probably tell from reading my blog. In the spirit of having a central repository of my works, here’s an overview of my works to date, in chronological order. Whereever permitted, I link a freely accessible PDF (without any paywalls), and I also make the source code of any developed application available under an open license.
