Julían Murgía
CTO & Co-FOUNDER.
Growing up in his country' s darkest hours of dictatorship, Julian learned early on the importance of concealing and protecting people' s prívate information, attempting to keep them safe from the regime' harassment and persecution that could end in prison, exile or death for thinking differently.
For him, it was a breath of fresh air and freedom to see Europe's concern and dedication on protecting personal information for the very sorne reasons as explicitly stated in their General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
With over 35 years of unwavering dedication to the world of IT, his career has spanned from programming and communications to databases, system security, and data privacy. Before leading Omega Krypto, Julian held key positions in prominent organizations, including Enterprise Travel Systems {ETSI), Travel Leaders Corporate, Verifone, and Sabre Holdings.
In 2016, Julian ushered in a totally new category of cryptography, Poly-Substitution Encryption, with his seminal paper "Seven Steps to a Quantum Resistant Cipher" at the Tenth lnternational Conference on Emerging Security lnformation, Systems and Technologies. His presentation and paper earned a Best Paper Award from the conference board.
lnvited to publish an extended version of this paper in the invitation-only peer reviewed lnternational Journal on Advances in Security, his article "Seven Steps to a Forever Safe Cipher (An lntroduction to Poly-Substitution Encryption)" introducing the theoretical foundations, examples, and the results of this innovative cryptography was published in 2018.
Julian hold patents in 25 countries for his cryptographic developments in information privacy protection, including the United States, India, Uruguay, mainland Europe, and the United Kingdom.
A sought-after speaker and presenter, Julian's cryptographic expertise and dedication to protecting data privacy continues to prove invaluable across many prestigious regional and international cybersecurity and data privacy events.
