Justin Troutman is a cryptographer with research interests in designing authenticated encryption constructions, optimizing the user experience of cryptographic products, and analyzing methodologies for signals intelligence. He has worked with Microsoft, Google, Duke University, and IEEE. He co-developed the “green cryptography” strategy for minimizing implementation complexity, while maximizing cryptographic security, by recycling components for multiple purposes. He is currently organizing international workshops that explore topics such as optimizing the effectiveness of cryptography for journalists, and the intersection between real-world cryptographic design and experience design.
