News: Due to e-voting problems (the ones we filed an appeal about), the Minister of Justice has now announced that she will halt the project, fire the Director of Elections, and confess that the problems were serious. On earlier developments: See my appeal (in finnish) about re-running the Finnish elections in the three cities where the problematic e-voting system was applied! There has been quite a lot of press coverage of this, including the excellent HS article by Miska Rantanen, TV news item of our lawyer filing the appeal, and the editorial. And now the minister of justice has decided to stop answering questions and launch an internal investigation. The errors described in our appeal were so severe that I think its very likely that there'll be a re-run.
I'm a 42 year old engineer from Kauniainen,
Finland. In case you didn't know, Finland is a small country (pop 5 mil) in
Northern Europe, a member of EU and one of the most technologically advanced
socities in the world - in the penetration numbers for mobile phones, the
number of Internet users, or the amount of Internet technology companies.
Not to mention that Linux was born here.
My home town Kauniainen is small (pop
8,500), quiet and beautiful town close to the metropolitan city, Helsinki.
I studied Computer Science and Industrial Economics in the
Helsinki University of Technology. I'm employed by
Ericsson, the Swedish mobile equipment manufacturer where currently I work in
research and standardization issues related to the future Internet and its use
in mobile environments.
My current main interests are in the evolution of the IP protocol,
network access authentication, mobility mechanisms, and the deployment
of 
security
mechanisms. I work in the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF), which designs and maintains the
core protocols of the Internet. I am a member of their steering
group, IESG, responsible for the IP layer
standards together with another member.
I'm also one
of the authors in a number of RFCs,
including specifications for Mobile IPv6,
NAIs,
EAP-AKA,
Diameter. In the past,
I have built network security
equipment, acted as a product manager, written a lot of C and C++
code, and hacked the Linux kernel where necessary. I've contributed
software components to Ericsson's routers, GRPS nodes, UMTS network
components, and internal software engineering tool sets. I also
program in C for fun. I did my licentiate's
thesis on formal methods and testing.
The regular information on this page includes
my contact information,
my publications list,
IETF statistics tools. And see the
pages about my recently
completed house project.
And I have a new PGP key. I am also tracking
my current location on the web.
my personal
and professional interests, and
my most interesting links page. I also invite
you to visit my family page to meet my wife
Tarja and my three sons Olli, Lasse, and Janne. (See my instructions
on how to make Christmas calendars for
kids, if you are interested.) I'm a keen photographer, so you may want
to take a look at some of the photographs I've
taken .I'm most interested in taking pictures around my family,
hobbies such as skiing
or climbing, or
the wonders of nature. Not to
mention the wonders of
technology.
