Windows: Security & Identity.Cryptography & Key ManagementI work on cryptographic related features for the Windows operating system mainly focusing on key storage and roaming in an active directory environment. My work has allowed me to gain experience in certificate authority management and configuration while gaining experience administering (and debugging) TPMs and smart cards.My main duties include defect prevention and detection on Microsoft's new operating systems. I have also worked on feaure level activities for previously released operating systems. I am responsible for debugging and testing user and kernel mode security components and developing automation to test these features on a regular basis. I have helped our team execute on the Windows wide security requirements by performing feaure analysis through code review and security audits described by the SDL. I mainly work with native C/C++ code.

Office: InfoPath and InfoPath Forms Server.The features I owned were integrated in a package which runs on the SharePoint platform. I developed automation in C# to test my feaures on a regular basis. I owned digital signature testing and this is where my passion for cryptography and PKI developed. I worked with a colleague to address any security specific requests for our product which often resulted in code review and targetted pen testing activities. This position required me to work extensively in C/C++/C#/JS. I worked with browser based ActiveX controls while concentrating on the security issues inherent with their usage.
