Sam Buxbaum

I'm a second-year PhD student at Boston University, advised by Mayank Varia and John Liagouris. I am interested in cryptography and distributed systems, specifically internet security and privacy and the dream of a fully open and decentralized internet. Other interests of mine include open science, quantum computing, and cosmology.
