PROFILE

Kacper Stojek

During this period, work focused on enhancing boot-time security and virtualization configurability across Dasharo platforms. In the Dasharo/edk2 repository, features were developed to implement DMA protection and IOMMU handoff options within DasharoModulePkg, along with a VT-d policy property mask in DasharoPayloadPkg, allowing for expanded virtualization configuration. For Dasharo/coreboot, DMA protection was enabled during the boot process based on configuration settings, improving hardware isolation and reducing the risk of DMA-based attacks. The engineering approach emphasized UEFI and Coreboot integration, leveraging C and Dsc for low-level system programming, configuration management, and the implementation of security features.

February 2023 monthly performance summary focusing on boot-time security and virtualization configurability across Dasharo platforms. Delivered critical enhancements in Dasharo/edk2: implemented DMA Protection and IOMMU handoff options in DasharoModulePkg and introduced a VT-d policy property mask in DasharoPayloadPkg to expand virtualization configuration options. In Dasharo/coreboot, enabled DMA protection during boot based on configuration to strengthen boot-time security. No major bugs documented as fixed in this period. Overall impact centers on strengthened hardware isolation, reduced risk of DMA-based attacks during boot, and clearer, configurable secure-boot capabilities. Technologies demonstrated include UEFI/EDK II development, Coreboot integration, DMA protection, IOMMU, VT-d policy configuration, and PCD management for boot-time settings.
