René Meusel

Over the past 15 years, René Meusel has worked extensively on free and open-source software, developing a passion for applied cryptography, secure networking protocols, and modern C++. As a co-maintainer of Botan, a widely used cryptographic library endorsed by Germany’s Federal IT Security Authority (BSI), he led the implementation of TLS 1.3 and added state-of-the-art post-quantum algorithms. He is equally at home auditing software implementations and debating the finer points of network protocols.
