Security Crossing

FedLine has a daily transaction rate over $17T per day with 15,000 client banks. After an audit determined a significant exposure in the communications stack, this project replaced hardware based communications cryptography between Federal Reserve and client banks with a software solution that allows for operator authentication under client bank administration. After the audit my role was the design and development of PKI components including a complete customized CA. This solution was more secure than prior implementation and delivered over $14M in implementation savings.

Over a 3 year period I performed almost 300 web application audits. These consulting oriented audits typically included trend analysis, bug identification, application security best practice consulting and how to drive down costs using secure SDL processes. A partial client list: Microsoft, United Technologies, Viacom, CitiGroup, Sprint, Mastercard, NASDAQ, Wyatt, Fidelity Investments and SAIC.
