There is somebody by this name in the field: the City University of New
York granted a PhD to one Dimitri Vulis in 1995.  The dissertation title
was "Collective encryption: Cryptosystems based on the commutator
collection process for certain free products".  As to whether the
existence of someone with any given name has any bearing on the identity
of any participant in cypherpunks, well, this list has discussed that
general topic before...
