Barry Fussell, Principal Engineer, Cisco Systems
I've worked with forks of OpenSSL for 15 years. During that time, I've lead Cisco's development of crypto and TLS features as well as FIPS and Common Criteria enhancements. As part of our Common Security Modules Team, we support dozens of Cisco product teams that use our OpenSSL fork. I am a current member of OpenSSL's large corporation community as well as a TAC member representing large corporations. I've also been heavily involved in the creation of ACVP and AMVP automation working closely with NIST and NCCoE. Using that community development experience and my knowledge base from Cisco, working with a set of very diverse teams, provides an understanding of the technical interests as well as hurdles encountered by a large corporation environment. I believe that will be beneficial to the community and technical advisory team.
