My name is Martin, I'm a Danish software architect and cryptographer living and working in Copenhagen.

I hold a PhD in cryptography from the Technical University of Denmark under the supervision of Prof. Christian Rechberger and Prof. Lars R. Knudsen. The topic of my dissertation was design and analysis of symmetric primitives, focusing primarily on block cipher analysis, implementation and authenticated encryption schemes.
