About the author Michael Prinzinger:

Michael took part in the German academic roller coaster until being kicked out with a diploma in computer science and a lot of knowledge about the Japanese culture, for whatever reason he can't remember. He then decided to look abroad and paid longer visits working in Japan and New Zealand. Upon returning he moved to legendary Berlin and got caught in its charme since. At the end of last year he was fed up working in employment and instead started with friends the kinko projekt (https://kinko.me). By that he hopes to finally give the world easy access to secure and accesssible e-mail encryption.
