When I started project MB09 and, consequently, MBXI, at the time, I didn’t know which applications they would be suitable for. In fact, I didn’t know whether they would have any applications in cryptography or cybersecurity.

Between 2007 and 2008, I decided to start applying for my first patent, the system that I later called MB09.
