From 2003, he participated in the development of hardware-protected cryptographic devices (Cryptomodul for SBus and PCIBus, Cryptobox) at RITA Rt., the Ministry of Defense Electronics, Logistics and Asset Management Zrt. (HM EI) and DPV Design, Development, Consulting Ltd. He participated in the design of the architecture and devices of the electronic ticketing system recommended for the Budapest Public Transport Company (BKV).
