Applied AI security research/pathfinding + Hacking AI & cloud for Intel fine-tuning infrastructure for Large language models (cloud.intel.com). Led offensive engagements, threat modelling and security architecture. Led the M&A onboarding, release and productization for 20+ cloud, web and system software products.Intel representative in the Private AI institute in collaboration with 14 universities across the US, Europe and Asia.Presented multiple keynotes on AI security and privacy at Blackhat 2023 & Embedded World Conference 2023.Built ThirdEye, an AI-powered Side-channel Analysis framework (Reported two zero-day vulnerabilities)

Architected/Built Edge security (e.g. E2E Secure boot, Confidential VMs)

Scouting/building novel techniques to attack and break products. Mostafa's work resulted in discovering 50+ novel CVE in different Intel software products. Presented keynote at the Open Source Summit Europe 2021 on Fuzzing ACRN Hypervisors (Linux Foundation Project).

Working as part of the Intel Automotive Security team. My work mainly focuses on developing proof-of-concept and security products for In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems. Proficiency with versatile stack of technologies covering Automotive crypto frameworks, Kernel security modules (AppArmour, MAC, Kernel Keystore, etc..), and Trusted Execution Environments/SGX. In addition, driving the complete SW/BSP power-on activities for the next-gen platforms including the Intel Automotive Compute Cards.

• Masters' Thesis Topic: "Design and Implementation for a Secure Dynamic Task Loader on the x86 Architecture"Mostafa’s work proposes a lightweight OS-like firmware agent with dynamic scheduling capabilities that harness the x86-arch memory management unit (segmentation) to create isolated/protected memory regions at runtime. This allows applications (unix based) to dispatch their code/data/stack segments in a secure confidential manner.

• Development/Testing of a platform security framework for tiny embedded devices, enabling programmable OS isolation of software modules against runtime attacks. Later our testing framework was transferred to the product SW validation team. Project: TrustLite• Delivered 40+ security test cases (covering the Quark SoC Tasking and Memory Management System).• Review on state of art low-level software runtime attacks (ROP, JOP, etc.)
