Protip: "Contributed" in this case means "designed the thing with Jelizaveta Vakarjuk".

So I may now proudly tell that I contributed in a making of the boardgame 😅

Utilising Video Deepfakes for Paper Voting Privacy Defence The recent rise of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions has also had a significant impact on electoral processes. Most notably, deepfakes created by generative AI applications can (and have been) u...

We've felt that internet voting gets a bit too much attention in academic research. So we continue doing cool things with/to it. New paper, something completely different.

I'm so tired of correcting quantum computing misconceptions

Estonian municipalities are not at all doing well with digital sovereignty. Most have Microsoft e-mail.

In Estonia, there has been a similar argument made that internet voting favours certain parties. However, it has been done for long enough for these parties to fall out of favour as others started winning. The solution for the critics has been simple: now these other parties are rigging elections. 🤷‍♂️

I can share that I found out that a smoke alarm in the basement ceiling doubles as a water leak alarm (given a sufficient amount of water in the basement).

Just this week had to write an opinion piece to explain that chat control type backdoors in the name of CSAM reduction have negligible impact in the age of Grok making CSAM of anything for anybody.

I'm not sure it's an awesome idea to go

Cybersecurity protip from Digital Tech Summit in Copenhagen.

We are looking for a cybersecurity professor to strengthen Estonia's existing expertise. We are looking for an ambitious researcher (with a steady presence at big four security conferences) with demonstrated leadership skills who can build a larger team. iacr.org/jobs/item/4075

Travelling to Copenhagen this week to constructively rain on peoples' AI parades at the Digital Tech Summit.

Constructively, I promise. Can't have economic weakness in Europe this time around, or you know, ever.

At least in Estonia, the story of "digital signatures and Smart-ID could be broken by a quantum computer" still raises eyebrows.
