About Helder Figueira

1983 - Matriculated from high school.1984 - Construction Site Project Manager in the family construction business.1985 to 1986 - Studied Architecture at Witwatersrand University for 2 years.1987 to 1988 - Commissioned Electronic Warfare Signals Officer, rank 2nd Lt, commanding a Cryptanalysis Unit (Codebreakers) in the South African Army.1992 to 1995 - Computer Network Engineer for Siemens Nixdorf, Lan/ix, and Creative Labs.1995 - Completed B.Proc law degree at Johannesburg University.1997 to 2000 - Computer Engineer for Fidelity Investments in London (UK) and Tokyo (Japan)2000 - Test Engineer for first-e (an internet bank) in Dublin2001 - Enterprise Server Engineer for Compaq in Ireland.2002 onwards - Director for Symteq Limited - a performance testing company- 2002 - Deutsche Bank - Network Performance Analysis- 2004 - EDS - Crown Prosecution Service- 2005 to 2006 - BT Martlesham - Performance Tester- 2007 - 2010 - Compuware - Performance Testing Manager- 2011 - BT Guildford - Performance Testing- 2014 - UCAS Service - Performance Testing- 2017 - University of Nottingham - Performance Test Manager, Capacity Management, - 2018 - Packt Publishing - Performance Analysis and TestingIn 2016 founded Perpetual Encryption, following the invention of "Equivocation Augmentation" a new encryption technology that took 25 years to develop. Current commercial security encryption offerings are vulnerable to basic military cryptanalysis techniques from the 1980s, and wholly inadequate against future AI / Quantum Computing threats. "Equivocation Augmentation" is a scientifically verifiable technology, that was developed in secret, until patent applications were filed in 2015 and 2016. We are currently developing an entirely new security eco-system using EA (Equivocation Augmentation) as a foundation, resistant to military cryptanalysis. EA is unique - it cannot be broken using brute-force.

  • Incrypteon
    Founder (Ex-Military Cryptanalysis; Legal And Patents; Head Of Security R&D; Security Testing)
    Incrypteon Nov 2021 - Present
    London, England, United Kingdom
    Incrypteon aims to be a leader in the field of post-Quantum security systems.Quantum computing already poses a significant risk to current security systems, and this threat will inevitably escalate with the arrival of Cryptanalytic Agentic AI systems designed to break current encryption. A perfect storm.At Incripteon we are completing the development and test phase of a post-Quantum security system called Archaios, which benefits from a novel invention called "Entropy Augmentation" which allows for any encryption solution to attain information theoretic security.As an ex-military cryptanalyst familiar with One-Time Pad implementations, I am head of Security Research, Development & Testing of the new Archaios product suite. I also oversee all patenting and security compliance responsibilities, whilst serving as the principal technical cryptographic contact. Our security testing approach is predominantly scientific-method oriented.Our Archaios solution is novel in that whilst it can incorporate NIST approved FIPS-140 and NIST PQC cryptographic primitives for compliance, these can be protected within an Archaios "perfect secrecy" security wrapper.We must be onto a good thing, since we have come across a number of blatant and subtle patent infringements, that claim "Entropy Augmentation" as their novel idea.We are completing the final Dev and Test stages in preparation for the launch of Archaios at Web Summit in Lisbon in October 2024.

  • Contentional (Uk)
    Director
    Contentional (Uk) 2009 - 2011
    Currently busy deploying the infrastructure required for the implementation and distribution of the "mBrace" Server Profiling application, service and methodology in the UK.The tool is essentially the "missing server profiling link" in the Application Profiling discipline, namely the ability to predictively model the response time and capacity utilisation performance of an application. Combines the load testing and the server capacity management disciplines.Whilst mBrace has a number of capacity management competitors it is unique in a number of respects.- no agents required.- can be provided as a service or a product depending on customer preferences.- allows server capacity modelling capabilities to be introduced to the performance load testing arena.- can be combined with network profiling analysis and recommendations.- ideally suited to an agile development environment.The model also has a number of strategic and tactical advantages over performance load testing:- cheaper to deploy, not only interms of tool cost, but test environment requirements need not be production-like, interruption to test environments is minimal.- faster to deploy and redeploy, allowing for a quick fix and test agile methodology approach.- identifies transaction bottleneck locations, facilitating fixes.- scenario evaluation rate is 30 times faster than load testing.- not limited by application bottlenecks due to test environment capacity issues.- allows for a greater coverage of risk elements, with various loads, capacities etc.- allows for effective rendering of the "performance fabric" of an application.- can predict performance on applications that cannot be effectively load tested.
