The OpenSSL framework offers 3rd party provider developers the opportunity to build highly portable and agile implementations. In this talk we review the journey SafeLogic took in building an entropy provider that recently received the SP-800-90-B ESV From NIST.
Members from SafeLogic’s engineering team discuss the journey of building an entropy provider for the OpenSSL 3.x provider framework.
Jake Maynard has been in the Cyber Security industry for over twenty years. He spent over 17 years with Citrix Systems (Sponsor of OpenSSL’s 2.x FIPS canister) working on Networking, Mobile Device Management, and Virtualization technologies ultimately landing in the security engineering team working on the core cryptographic module utilized to meet FIPS requirements for the product suite..
Jake currently leads SafeLogic’s engineering department where his team is responsible for the Research, Design, and Implementation of future cryptographic products focused on easing customer’s journey through FIPS compliance.
Jake has been awarded two masters degrees from Nova Southeastern University. One in Information Security and the other in Computer Science.
