About Me

I’m interested in research and engineering in the area of network security.

Name

Matthäus is my given name and Wander my surname. If you’re unsure how to pronounce Matthäus, don’t worry: even native German speakers occassionally have trouble with it. Matthäus is the German variant of Matthew, so I’m fine with Matthew or Matt. The ASCII-compatible spelling is Matthaeus (umlaut ‘ä’ becomes ‘ae’).

Misc

• Wikipedia.
  I’m an author of the German Wikipedia since 2003. I had administrator rights from 2004 to 2011.
• CrypTool 2.
  I used to be a core developer of CrypTool 2 from 2009 to 2011.
• Domain Name System.
  I have a long-lasting fascination for the Domain Name System, which sparked my first Wikipedia article (2003), a term paper during my University studies (2007), conference talks (e.g. at 29C3 and ICANN 56) and my PhD thesis (2015). I almost took a job at DENIC.
• Email.
  I run my own mailserver for personal emails since around 2002.
