Researched and applied a wide range of cryptographic topics to write an implementation for a new password authenticated key exchange (PAKE) protocol. This protocol was intended to be run inside of a Nitro Enclave, a secure computing environment. This implementation used secure cryptographic attestation and AWS' Key Management Systems to register and authenticate users.
