Werner Koch, the guy who created, and who has maintained for 30 years now, pretty much all by himself, GnuPG, the modern email encryption replacement for PGP.
Just the other day, I realized I actually live just a few kms away from the guy, here in Germany … very tempted to reach out to him someday and actually buy him an actual coffee.
That was the one I couldn’t remember, I got GPG and PGP confused but I remember it involved email encryption.
This guy was the reason that every security dev had those personal public keys clearly posted next to their email address on every announcement and blog post they ever released.
