Threshold Encryption, Positronic Variables, Passkeys, and the Art of Not Making Dumb Decisions
Published on 21.03.2026
What Is Threshold Encryption?
TLDR: Threshold encryption splits a secret key among multiple parties so that no single entity can decrypt data alone — you need a minimum number of participants to cooperate. The article gives a grounded overview of the math and touches on quantum computing timelines for breaking current crypto.
Positronic Variables in C#: Teaching State to Argue with the Future
TLDR: This experimental piece explores what happens when you introduce variables in C# that can be influenced by future state — a concept called positronic variables. It covers constraint convergence and time-looping state as a programming model.

How to Build a Hybrid Passkey Strategy in Symfony 7.4: Navigating Beyond the Passwordless Fortress
TLDR: This is Part 2 of a series on authentication in Symfony 7.4. It builds a hybrid login flow that blends traditional passwords with modern Passkeys via WebAuthn, giving users a smooth transition path rather than forcing full passwordless adoption.
