Silur
Kriptográfus, kvantumszámítástechnika kutató @ Wigner Fizikai Kutatóközpont, és etikus hacker
Silur started his career as a pentester and hacker at a really young age, with a great affinity to cryptography and higher mathematics. Having good prior understanding in cryptocurrencies when the industry boomed in 2016, he gained an advantage as an early industry specialist, doing work for Ethereum foundation until 2018. In 2019 he designed a cipher that entered the NIST Lightweight Encryption Standard competition. He proved himself in designing and implementing blockchains from scratch as the co-founder of QANPlatform and an early partner of CasperLabs. With dozens of dApps, protocols and even full chains from both mass-market and government clients behind him, Silur is a co-organizer the largest Capture the flag event on the planet, where he challenges the best hackers in the world to break blockchain systems and reproduce historical cryptocurrency hacks. Silur is a member of the Wigner’s research centre of physics where he’s researching quantum computation and post-quantum cryptography.
