Benito R. Fernández, CTO & co-Founder, was born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela of Spaniard parents. He was in academia for over 30 years and retired early to commercialize several patents he co-invented at UT Austin. The first patent was Hybrid Computer (HxC), a mixed-signal computer that runs at speeds between supercomputer and quantum computer, but fits on a desktop. Looking for a simple application of the HxC, he decided to apply it to the idea of creating quantum-resistant encryption by emulating a chaotic oscillator on a HxC to generate an infinite random stream of bits to encrypt in-line data. These technologies were supported by NSF and UT’s Center for Identity, resulting in the Chaotic Hybrid Encryption (CHE) patent.
Benito founded TAMOSI in June 2015 to commercialize CHE. In 2016 was selected to ICORPS National cohort program and proved product-market fit, then TAMOSI successfully apply for an SBIR and developed a POC (Proof-of-Concept) of an in-line, ubiquitous chaotic hybrid encryption, that was 100 times faster than AES-256 (military-grade encryption). The company pivoted to peer-to-peer communication and trying to secure the end-point to access data, Alejandro Fernandez, our CEO, had the Aha! moment of continuous biometric authentication, that was filed as a patent. In Fall 2019, they founded The Whisper Company to commercialize the new (pat. pending at the time) Persistent User Authorization (PUA) and The Whisper Company was off to the races.
Born in Venezuela, Benito hails from a place where police officers possess the authority to stop you, seize your phone, and delve into its contents in search of anything suspicious. The disparity between the existing and requisite levels of privacy and security in countries like this is evident. This stark reality fuels Benito’s determination to contribute to the creation of a digitally reliable world.
Benito earned degrees in Chemical Engineering and Material Science at Universidad Simon Bolivar (Venezuela) before getting his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Over his 32-year academic career he formed the NERDLab (Neuro-Engineering, Research and Development Laboratory) and developed tools in Applied Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Neural Nets, Fuzzy Logic Systems, Genetically-Evolving Systems and developed and taught one of the first short courses for industry in the U.S. for Mechatronic Design. He holds 6 patents and over 100 publications.
