Christian Paquin

Principal Research Software Engineer

About

I am a crypto/security specialist in MSR’s Cryptography team, bringing new research innovations closer to reality. I’m currently involved in projects relating to end-to-end encryption, content provenance, post-quantum cryptography, and privacy-enhancing identity.

Prior to joining Microsoft in 2008, I was the Chief Security Engineer at Credentica, a crypto developer at Silanis Technology working on digital signature systems, and a security engineer at Zero-Knowledge Systems working on TOR-like systems.
