• Responsible for ensuring the security and availability of Gaikai products.

San Mateo, California, US

• Securing cloud-based gaming and cloud streaming applications for some of Sony's Playstation family of products
• Secured a very latency- and throughput-sensitive steaming architecture by developing a patent-pending bi-directional cryptographic stream encryption protocol
• Designed a novel x.509 certificate authority system that must provide automated support for several thousand machine endpoints while maintaining a secure and replay-resistant registration mechanism.
• Designed a robust system-to-system authorization system where permissions and access is secured cryptographically

Round Rock, Texas, US

• Designed complex x.509 certificate-based authentication with automated certificate management to enable process authentication and secure communication via TLS; this system also authenticated complementary EMC.
• Significantly enhanced the security of process authorization by redesigning a replay-resistant ticket-based authorization model; this model regulates authorization of admin-driven backup and recovery operations, the.
• Architected a new SAML 2.0-based user authentication system with large client space and server peer-to-peer certificate trust for the largest EMC backup product planned.
• Created formal Threat Models (using EMC TM tools), wrote Product Security Assessment and Plan, created plan to address existing vulnerabilities in future releases, coordinated efforts among multi-disciplined client and.
• Developed novel IV creation algorithm (tailored specifically for deduplicated backup systems) to optimize data-at-rest encryption operations.
• Extensive knowledge and application of TLS/SSL, key and certificate management, especially with commercially-available key manager and lockbox solutions; expert crypto knowledge.

Arlington, VA, US

• Chief Cryptographer
• Developed innovative cryptographic algorithms implemented on custom System on a Chip (SoC); worked with hardware designers to optimize performance (latency) and maintain robust security; created custom algorithms that.
• Expert knowledge of and extensive experience in designing secure boot, secure communication, key management, random number generation (true and pseudo); developed custom whitening algorithm and stochastic method to.
• Enabled the success of programs by developing custom algorithms, stochastic and otherwise, to solve unique problems or accommodate specialized hardware, often saving millions of dollars; awarded the EiET Award, the.
• Performed vulnerability analyses to help design the software and systems architecture for sophisticated high-throughput systems and networks; developed strategies to maximize protection techniques and minimize risk of.
• Analyzed diverse systems within mission critical military platforms for vulnerabilities to tamper or reverse engineering; designed systems and networks to be secure yet maintain high performance (throughput, latency).

Los Angeles, CA, US
