In a previous episode ...

I was a doctoral student in the area of Network Management at the Department of Telematics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). My supervisor was Professor Svein J. Knapskog at the Department of Telematics.

I began by studying the security of autonomous mobile agents, and ended up producing a dissertation called "Encrypted Computation". The defense of my thesis was completed the 19th of September 2001, after 13:45 CET, in room 226 ("Totalrommet"), in the building called "Hovedbygget". The talk designed to test my abilities of presentation, had the title "Code Red: a mere prank or a serious threat to network security?", and was held 10:15 CET, in the same room as the defense.

Meanwhile, somewhere nearby:

This homepage has been targeted for termination pending a transitional time period of undetermined (and probably random) duration. If you have read this far, I would once more like to take the opportunity of reminding you to instead start using my slightly more up-to-date homepage instead.

My public PGP key for the old international PGP version should now be considered revoked. If you intend to communicate with me using PGP, use only the Version 6.5.1 key at the bottom. This key will soon be removed, and the version above retained.

For the newer PGP versions, I have the public key displayed below. I am, however, moving over to Gnu Privacy Guard. The key below should be identical to the Gnu Privacy Guard key. It will be displayed as below for a transitional period of approximately 3 months.
