My Top Tip for CEOs … Invest in Tokenization for Now and Cryptography For the Future

Creating the security architectures of the future

I get invited to present in lots of places around the world — all expenses paid — and often turn them down. But, when I’m asked to present on cryptography, in my beautiful home city of Edinburgh, and to cryptography experts, there is always only going to be one answer .. Yes. Please! It’s the crypto geek in me (and for my deep love of my home city). And, in case you ask, “crypto” means cryptography and NOT cryptocurrency.

I love my subject, and I have finally found a subject that I will never exhaust my knowledge and interest. To me, the subject provides as much beautiful as the great works of arts, and it often does things in the most simple ways possible. It is the heartbeat of your new world. In 10 years time, we will look back and laugh that we passed, processed and stored data on real values, and never gave a thought to integrating security, rights, and consent into every single bit of data.

In virtually every area I’ve studied I reached the point where I pretty much understood most of the subject. But, for cryptography, it has an endless path for the discovery of new knowledge.
