I lead the team responsible for FIPS 140-3 certification and system hardening (CIS, DISA-STIG) of Ubuntu at Canonical.
Most of my day-to-day work lives on Launchpad rather than GitHub — it ships as Ubuntu's certified cryptographic modules:
- OpenSSL — CMVP #5115
- GnuTLS — CMVP #5163
- Kernel Crypto API — CMVP #5215
📝 FIPS for Ubuntu 24.04 — what it is, how it works, how to enable it.
Before this: application security research at Checkmarx (OWASP Top 10, SAST), and embedded systems and vehicular networks before that (MSc @ Técnico Lisboa; one US patent).
Around here you'll mostly find cryptography for fun — CryptoPals in Go and in Rust — plus the occasional hardware detour (a 74181 ALU in Verilog).
