Hi. I'm Taka,

a student, cosmopolite, and cryptography enthusiast.

Taka's face

I am a graduate student of the cybersecurity programme at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), with a focus on cryptography and digital forensics.

I also work with online voting systems, and am currently a protocol analyst at Smartmatic-Cybernetica CoE for Internet Voting (SCCEIV).

"Taka" is a nickname gotten from the contraction of my first and last name.

Links

Projects

  • Merelaager's website and its backend.
  • A bunch of cryptographic provers and verifiers for work.
  • Zahlen, a bare-bones arbitrary precision library in C# as part of a crypto-algorithms testing project.
  • Tako, an event management platform I wrote for a university project with my good friend Slava.
  • An MD5 hashing algorithm implementation in C, following the specification and without external libraries.

All projects (except for Tako and my work work) have their source code available on GitHub.

Materials

While I have of course taken plenty of notes over my time studying, sadly none of them are fluid or structured enough to make sense to be uploaded...yet. Naturally, I cannot upload official materials either. Still, some of my homework solutions and reports are available on GitHub.

Programming

I am no programmer and most definitely not a developer. However, when I do code, I tend to use C#, C or Golang.
