A new focus of mine is what I call "Human Semantics": the art/science that deals with how people (mis)understand each other, what they can do to minimize time/effort spent on (correcting) misunderstandings, and prevent them from happening. The idea is to make collaborations (e.g. in projects) easier, and increase the percentage of texts that readers actually understand rather than needing to 'hallucinate' what authors intended to say.I'm also active in the 'Self-Sovereign Identity' arena for a few years now, starting TNO's 'ssi-lab', leading TNO's vision on SSI and where it is going, which is also used in [eSSIF-Lab](https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/essifLab). I helped create its mental models and terminology, and now make similar contributions to the Trust over IP foundation (https://trustoverip.org/).Before that, I did Governance, Risk Management and Security architectures for integration of processes, (web)services, etc. with a focus on identity management and access control. In particular interested in formal underpinnings and making them work in the practice of large organizationsIn 2017, I also focused on (the pros and cons of) using blockchains in business information processes, and contributed to (formal underpinnings of) a Self-Sovereign Identity Framework (SSIF).

I am a (sleeping) member of ISO JTC1/SC27/WG1. Between 2014-2017, I've participated in updates on on the 27000 and the 27005 (information security risk management).

As a member of the supervisory board, my focus is on governance (ensuring that the organization is doing the right things and producing corresponding results).

Security consultancy (e.g. security policies, security audits);Develop and design security services, related to e.g. authentication, authorization/access control, and their formal underpinning. I also contributed to innovations in system architecture (thinking).

Consultancy related to cryptography and information security.Security systems engineering (threatmodels, protocols, specifications and architectures)I am very proud to have contributed to the design and development of the PCC-ISES chip, which is the chip with the highest performance (at that time) for creating digital signatures .

Programming of minicomputers, handhelds, and microcontrollers. I have contributed to their operating systems, system applications (e.g. editors, assemblers, calendars, crypto-drivers), as well as (real-time/embedded) applications. Also, I have designed (local area) networks, installed them and managed them.
