Van den Broek is a Post Doc with the Open University of The Netherlands. As a guest researcher he is working in the digital security group at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences of the Radboud university of Nijmegen.
His current research is mostly focussed on maturing the IRMA (I Reveal My Attributes) technology and is in part financed by the Privacy by Design Foundation. The IRMA technology offers a way to authenticate users based on a subset of their attributes, which results in a very flexible and privacy-friendly eco system.
