At Cisco, I work with a team of 3 determined developers to deliver a tool to validate device compliance with FIPS standards. We are on pace to deliver an extremely useful tool by the end of the summer. Our work directly impacts many teams, saving countless hours and resources.
- Develop validator tool in Python to easily test device compliance with FIPS-approved algorithms, allowing teams to easily go through FIPS change requests, saving significant time and resources.
- Standup containers and servers within the software to establish TLS connections to devices using FIPS-approved ciphers.
- Produce cleanly formatted results, capture network information for easy debugging.
- Write thorough unit and integration tests to eliminate possible errors within the software.
