Sarah Jamie Lewis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sarah Jamie Lewis is an anonymity and privacy researcher with published research in the fields of deanonymization[1] and e-voting.[2] She also has a special interest in the privacy protocols (or lack thereof) of sex toys.[3][4] She has been cited in academic research regarding the security[5][6] and ethics[7] considerations associated with this technology.

In 2019, Lewis in collaboration with researchers from the University of Melbourne and UCLouvain published details of critical vulnerabilities impacting e-voting systems in Switzerland[8] and Australia.[9][10]

Lewis has shared concerns about the lack of legal framework related to the field of onion dildonics, stating that "We are currently sprinting into this world of connected sex toys and connected sex tech without regards to what consent, privacy, or security means in that context..." and recommending "100% encrypted peer-to-peer cyber sex over tor hidden services."[11] More generally, due to the litigious environment in which computer security researchers operate, she has opted to build bespoke secure systems rather than fix broken systems.[12]
