Essays, open letters and research on encryption, surveillance, AI ethics and the right to privacy. A founder who writes code and manifestos.
Forbes on why control itself is becoming a product: how Veldris and its Midgard platform let organisations run AI on hardware they own, even fully isolated from the outside world.
On Europe's dependence on US AI infrastructure, and the companies building the alternative. Veldris's position: if you cannot inspect it, control it or run it yourself, it is not sovereign.
The announcement of Djinn's acquisition of EF EVE, bringing the volumetric-video pioneer's capture stack in-house.
TheStreet on the launch of Vox Crypto, and the problem it goes after: self-custody that ordinary people can actually manage.
The launch release for Vox Crypto: a non-custodial, multi-chain wallet with card on-ramps and built-in transaction protection.

JB is a prominent voice against the UK's Online Safety Act and the global push for client-side scanning. His argument is technical and uncompromising: you cannot break encryption for some without breaking it for everyone.
The current standard, elliptic-curve, cannot process data without first decrypting it. Neither can incoming post-quantum lattice cryptography. Only end-to-end homomorphic encryption could ever reconcile safety and privacy. Until then, mandated scanning fundamentally breaks the codified trust between every user.
A novel decentralised end-to-end encryption algorithm with time-travel-resistant verification.
A human in Warwickshire asks an AI what it would say if it could speak.
Signed by JB. The public letter, initiated by Thomas Pearson and backed by more than 13,000 signatures, asking the government to repeal or rewrite the Act, and to stop handing sensitive verification data to foreign companies.
On living between the physical and the digital. Identity across a shifting landscape of ones and zeros.
Signed by JB. The researchers' case for why mandated scanning of E2E-encrypted messages is impossible without breaking trust for all.
A call for genuine, structural diversity in technology education, not change in name only.
The origin story: a coding experiment that became a mission for genuinely private communication.
There is no safe backdoor. A key for the good guys is a key for everyone, including the ones you fear.
Representational bias in training data leads to real-world discrimination. It must be remedied now, not later.
Individuals, not platforms or states, should decide how their personal data and presence are used.
US 2025/0095279 A1. Lead inventor, with Bryan Dunphy and Brett Greene, for Djinn Technologies. Pick an object in the footage and it becomes a virtual marker: found across every camera angle, then subdivided until the point clouds from each viewpoint can be stitched together.
US Patent 10,827,161, granted 2020. Invented by Arunas Tomkevicius at EF EVE and assigned to Djinn Technologies with the 2024 acquisition: the depth compression behind the volumetric stack.
Peer-reviewed at HICSS-56 (2023, Metaverse track), with Carl H. Smith, Judith Molka-Danielsen and Jazz Rasool: how mixed reality turns the world into a machine-readable interface, and the ethics needed to protect privacy, integrity and autonomy.
