Talking with Tech Leaders

Talking with... Bill Buchanan OBE, Professor of Cryptography

Michael Phair Season 1 Episode 20

The podcast title has never been more fitting: our guest for episode 20 of Talking with Tech Leaders is a leading thinker, leading innovator and leading academic. Bill Buchanan is not only Professor of Cryptography at Edinburgh Napier University but also an Officer of the British Empire – awarded in 2017 for services to cybersecurity.

Together with host Michael Phair, Professor Buchanan covers some big themes and ideas – cyber threats, digital citizenship and (don’t try this at home) sticking your fingers in light sockets. As Bill’s social media bio puts it, he is: “A Serial Innovator. An Old World Breaker. A New World Creator." – and this episode proves it.
