I am interested in cryptographic protocols that support a free and democratic society. I work on openly-available research and open-source software for supporting democratic decision making and empowering ordinary people to make choices about their own data.

My research focuses primarily on cryptographic methods for achieving security and privacy, particularly for issues of public interest such as election integrity and the protection of government data. Recently I have focused on election auditing, particularly for complex voting methods such as the preferential systems used in Australia. I founded 听to build open-source software for supporting democracy. We recently extended Colorado's risk-limiting audit software for instant runoff voting (IRV), using techniques we developed in Australia. This ran successfully in local elections in 2025.

I was part of the team that discovered the easy re-identification of doctors and patients in the Medicare/PBS open dataset released by the Australian Department of Health. I have also co-designed numerous protocols for improved election integrity in e-voting systems, and co-discovered serious weaknesses in the cryptography of deployed e-voting systems in New South Wales, Western Australia and Switzerland. I contributed technical expertise to the 听project at the University of Waikato.
