Identity-Based Encryption

Hack VC

Check: Not disclosed and not inferable. Peyman is listed as a Research Partner, so founders should treat him as a domain expert and technical thesis contributor unless Hack VC confirms participation in a specific investment decision.

Peyman treats confidentiality as market infrastructure rather than an abstract right. His research uses identity-based encryption and distributed decryption to prevent front-running with dramatically lower communication overhead, while later work combines encryption and auctions for decentralized intent pricing. He argues privacy wins when it improves execution, protects commercial information, enables compliance and creates economically valuable products without extra user friction.
