Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, the man identified by Newsweek as the creator of Bitcoin, issued a statement today saying the "false report" has harmed his job prospects and created stress for him and his family.

"I did not create, invent or otherwise work on Bitcoin. I unconditionally deny the Newsweek report," his statement read.

The cryptocurrency Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 by a person calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto, but the man profiled by Newsweek says the magazine got the wrong guy. His statement today was reported by news outlets including the Los Angeles Times and was posted in full on Twitter by Reuters reporter Felix Salmon. The statement was provided to media by Nakamoto's lawyer, Ethan Kirschner.

"The first time I heard the term 'bitcoin' was from my son in mid-February 2014," the statement says. "After being contacted by a reporter, my son called me and used the word, which I had never before heard. Shortly thereafter, the reporter confronted me at my home. I called the police. I never consented to speak with the reporter. In an ensuing discussion with a reporter from the Associated Press, I called the technology 'bitcom.' I was still unfamiliar with the term."

Nakamoto went on to write that his background is in engineering, that he knows how to program, and that his most recent job was as an electrical engineer troubleshooting air traffic control equipment for the Federal Aviation Administration. But his knowledge wouldn't have been sufficient to create Bitcoin, he wrote. "I have no knowledge of nor have I ever worked on cryptography, peer to peer systems, or alternative currencies."

Nakamoto's career stalled and he's having trouble getting work because of health problems and the Newsweek article, the statement said.

"I have not been able to find steady work as an engineer or programmer for ten years," he wrote. "I have worked as a laborer, polltaker, and substitute teacher. I discontinued my Internet service in 2013 due to severe financial distress. I am trying to recover from prostate surgery in October 2012 and a stroke I suffered in October of 2013. My prospects for gainful employment [have] been harmed because of Newsweek's article."

Finally, Nakamoto wrote that the report "has been the source of a great deal of confusion and stress for myself, my 93-year-old mother, my siblings, and their families... I have retained legal counsel. This will be our last public statement on the matter. I ask that you now respect our privacy."

Nakamoto previously denied inventing Bitcoin the same day Newsweek's story came out. The Newsweek article relied on a quote in which Nakamoto said he was "no longer involved in that." Newsweek said that he was referring to Bitcoin. Nakamoto told an Associated Press reporter that he was referring to engineering in general rather than a specific project.

Newsweek today said it would not comment. "Newsweek has not received any statement or letter from either Mr. Nakamoto or his legal counsel," the publication said on its website. "If and when we do, we will respond as necessary."

THE MAN ACCUSED by Newsweek of creating the Bitcoin digital currency is still disputing that and has a newly appointed lawyer to deal with any questions on the subject.

Doriani Nakamoto was 'unmasked' by Newsweek as the elusive Bitcoin creator in a report that came to be much criticised.

Almost as soon as it was published people doubted the tale, and its subject, Dorian Nakamoto, disputed it, claiming that none of it was true.

In a statement released through his lawyer he said that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, and is not an expert in cryptography.

The first time I heard the term 'Bitcoin' was from my son in mid-February 2014. After being contacted by a reporter, my son called me and used the word, which I had never heard before," he said.

"Shortly thereafter, the reporter confronted me at my home. I called the police. I never consented to speak with the reporter. In an ensuing discussion with a reporter from the Associated Press, I called the technology 'Bitcom'. I was still unfamiliar with the term."

Doriani Nakamoto said that the 'false report' has caused stress and confusion for him and his family, and as a result he has retained legal counsel.

He added that he does not want to have to discuss the news story or its allegations anymore. He said that he previously worked as an electrical engineer, but has not had an internet connection since 2013.

Saying that he is in poor health and dire financial straits, he claimed that the Newsweek story has damaged his job prospects.

The way we secure digital transactions could soon change. An international team has demonstrated a form of quantum cryptography that can protect people doing business with others they may not know or trust a situation encountered often on the internet and in everyday life, for example at a banks ATM.

Having quantum cryptography to hand is a realistic prospect, I think. I expect that quantum technologies will gradually become integrated with existing devices such as smartphones, allowing us to do things like identify ourselves securely or generate encryption keys, says Stephanie Wehner, a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore, and co-author on the paper.

In cryptography, the problem of providing a secure way for two mutually distrustful parties to interact is known as two-party secure computation. The new work, published in Nature Communications, describes the implementation using quantum technology of an important building block for such schemes.

CQT theorists Wehner and Nelly Ng teamed up with researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo, Canada, for the demonstration.

Research partnerships such as this one between IQC and CQT are critical in moving the field forward, says Raymond Laflamme, Executive Director at the Institute for Quantum Computing. The infrastructure that weve built here at IQC is enabling exciting progress on quantum technologies.

CQT and IQC are two of the worlds largest, leading research centres in quantum technologies. Great things can happen when we combine our powers, says Artur Ekert, Director of CQT.

The experiments performed at IQC deployed quantum-entangled photons in such a way that one party, dubbed Alice, could share information with a second party, dubbed Bob, while meeting stringent restrictions. Specifically, Alice has two sets of information. Bob requests access to one or the other, and Alice must be able to send it to him without knowing which set hes asked for. Bob must also learn nothing about the unrequested set. This is a protocol known as 1-2 random oblivious transfer (ROT).

ROT is a starting point for more complicated schemes that have applications, for example, in secure identification. Oblivious transfer is a basic building block that you can stack together, like lego, to make something more fantastic, says Wehner.
