scientist for spreading f the TCP/IP protocols that underpin
today’s internet (and gave Queen Elizabeth her own email
address). Peter was one of the most hard working scientist in
the year 1985-1991 within the COSINE project that developed the
first TCP/IP backbone in Europe in December 1991. Peter
fashioned his pivotal role in computer networking with the
old-fashioned way: through human connections. In 1982, his
collegial ties to American scientists working in the nascent
field of computer networks led him to adopt their standards in
his own London research lab and later set up the first Internet
line between Europe (UK) and USA. <br>

collaboration within the EU Framework programs that started with
the FP3 project: PASSWORD where the first software for digital
signature and Public Key services were developed. Our last
cooperation was within the video-conferencing development
project (Global-Plaza) in 2010. We all miss him and his
enthusiasm and wisdom.</span></p>
