Hi, I am Mohsin Khan

Cybersecurity Professional and Cofounder of CVQ

My PhD research focused on securing critical infrastructure, healthcare, power grids, and industrial IoT. This work led to BlockCap, a system I developed for protecting resource-constrained devices in heterogeneous, hierarchical networks, along with a benchmarking framework for lightweight cryptography that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and access control.

I'm also a cofounder of CVQ, built in collaboration with the Tromsø municipality in Norway. CVQ connects local residents with the municipality, letting them vote on and shape public policy decisions.
