about me: I've been a contributor to the Mozilla.org project since 2001, including the NSS library, and the security, encryption and privacy features of the Firefox and Thunderbird applications. There are a few blog posts. This site is run by myself, and the opinions expressed on this site are my own. You can reach me by email or xmpp/jabber with username kaie at this domain (without www).
secure email and chat: Send me encrypted email using my new OpenPGP/GPG key (1C27423725007724). See also: additional communication keys (including OTR). Or you could try to use S/MIME, you can find my certificate in the S/MIME keyserver that I run on this site as a free service.

projects and ideas:

• Some brainstorming about solving the issues around the detection of compromised Certificate Authorities, which I call Mutually Endorsing CA Infrastructure (MECAI).
• I described an idea to implement client side SSL/TLS MITM detection compromised CA detection and server impersonation detection, by making use of the Tor network, DetecTor. (This isn't affiliated with the Tor project)
• I had this idea of a new countermeasure to Spam, which I called SpamSalt. Let's see if anyone likes it and implements it...
• some older projects.

i think you should:

• donate to the Mozilla.org & Firefox projects, because you really want a free browser, that allows you to access the information of the world for free, without being dependent on corporations.
• donate to the Thunderbird project, because we need a powerful, cross platform tool for reliable and secure messaging
• donate to Wikipedia, because it protects our knowledge, and helps to educate the world for free, and you're using it too, right?
• donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, because they help to protect the rights of us individuals in a digital world.

trivia:

• kuix means Kai's Universal Information eXchange, a meaning I had to invent, after I picked one of the few short domains that were still available... ;-)
