Security Researcher
I’ve spent more than 20 years inside the world of wireless security, electronic warfare, and counter-surveillance. In that time I’ve built and patented technologies used to protect national security, advised on cellular security standards, trained and briefed U.S. and allied military and intelligence agencies, and was recognized at RSA 2020 as Mobile Privacy Expert of the Year. My work has been featured in FastCompany, Cyber Defense Magazine, and even portrayed on screen in the Keanu Reeves film Siberia for its realism. I’ve co-authored an international bestseller on cybersecurity and am finishing a new book on surveillance and privacy that exposes how deep these systems really go.
This channel is where I bring that experience to you. The goal here is to explain the technologies shaping our lives in plain English so you can better understand your technology, and how it affects you.

Something big is coming, and it’s bigger than one video. Bigger than anything people in the U.S. are even paying attention to right now.
More than 80 countries are rolling out national digital ID systems at the same time. In the U.S., the groundwork is already in place with REAL ID and a lot of people never realized what that standard was designed to enable.
🔹 The UK is pushing a mandatory digital ID by 2026.
🔹 The EU has locked in the same timeline. Every member state must provide an official digital ID by the end of 2026.
This level of global policy alignment doesn’t just happen randomly. Different governments, cultures, and political systems are all moving in the same direction for a reason and the documents explain why.
The driving force behind it isn’t a mystery.
It’s the central banks.
Bank for International Settlements - CBDCs: An Opportunity for the Monetary System (2021)
(States digital ID is essential for CBDC compliance and wallet management.)

BIS & Financial Stability Board - Building Blocks of a Global Strategy for Cross-Border Payments (2020)
(Links digital identity to the future of international payment infrastructure.)

At the same time these digital ID systems roll out, the UK and EU are also advancing new rules around online information, moderation standards, and policies affecting encrypted communication.
No claims... Just observing the timing.
🔹 Identity systems are being restructured.
🔹 Information governance is being restructured.
🔹 And it’s happening at the same time.
While I’m building the full breakdown complete with receipts, I’m also speaking with experts from multiple organizations about joining a roundtable discussion, something that hasn’t been done at this scale by an independent creator.
Here’s where you come in:
This type of topic usually isn’t favored by the algorithm, so whether it spreads or not comes down to the people who are reading this.
Share this with someone in the UK, EU, Australia, India, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Nigeria... Anywhere this rollout is active.
The experts I’m speaking with are watching the response to a series of posts and videos that are coming as they decide how openly they’re willing to participate. Some of them live in countries with strict rules about public commentary on policy decisions, and they’re taking real risks by speaking.
