I nominate Abhi Shelat be added to the Higgins project as a committer.

 

Abhi has contributed towards the incorporation of Idemix cryptographic
protocols in the architecture, the design and implementation of a user
interface for selecting credentials, and the design of how relying party
policy matching integrates with the I-Card Selector Service (ISS). In the
future we anticipate that Abhi will also be contributing to the development
of the browser-based ISS Web UI component.

 

More background on Abhi: Abhi is a researcher in cryptography at the IBM
Zurich Research lab. He received his Ph.D. from MIT under the tutelage of
Professor Silvio Micali, received a masters from MIT under Professor Madhu
Sudan, and received his bachelors degree from Harvard. His research
encompasses both theoretical and practical aspects of protocol design, and
cryptography---in particular, encryption and non-interactive zero-knowledge
protocols.
