Dr. Shahram Mossayebi is the co-founder and CEO of Crypto Quantique, a London-based company specialising in cybersecurity solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT). Before co-founding Crypto Quantique, Shahram worked as a cybersecurity consultant. Alongside his co-founder Dr. Patrick Camilleri, he invented the world’s first quantum tunnelling physical unclonable function (PUF) chip, called QDID, after identifying a significant vulnerability in existing IoT chip designs. Shahram is recognised as a quantum cybersecurity expert and has published several scientific papers and patents. His work focuses on creating simple, scalable, and secure solutions that address the complex challenges of IoT device connectivity and protection against cyber threats. Under his leadership, Crypto Quantique has raised funding from prominent venture capital firms over multiple rounds, won multiple grants from the European Innovation Council (EIC) and has been awarded multiple industry awards.
Shahram holds an MSc in Information Security and a PhD in Post-Quantum Cryptography, both from Royal Holloway, University of London. His doctoral thesis focused on providing an in-depth analysis of the security of existing symmetric encryption schemes against attackers with quantum capabilities.
