Menyhért Pálinkó
About
Menyhért Pálinkó (Meny) is an Information Security Architect and independent researcher based in Budapest, with a multidisciplinary background in mathematics, computer science, and cybersecurity. His work focuses on translating cryptographic and regulatory mandates into resilient production systems. His current research addresses a trust gap at the foundation of public key infrastructure: how to make the entropy behind post-quantum key generation auditable, rather than assumed. He is the author of "Cryptographically auditable quantum entropy for cloud HSMs and KMS" (Discover Computing, Springer Nature, 2026), and advocates extending zero trust principles all the way down to the hardware random number generator.
