So I’ve been in this business for a couple of years now, doing low level protocol and security work. Last week I was solving for one problem and realized I my solution generalized into a new secure key assignment protocol.

My version is a lot better than the next free thing, which is MLS. But, I have no clue who needs large group secure message protocols. I think somewhere in high frequency trading land or clearing houses. How does one make those kinds of connections?

The intended use case was something for the government, and it works great there, but that’s a very very niche application.
