Alex Weibel

Worked on security and testing improvements across the awslabs/aws-crt-builder and awslabs/aws-crt-cpp repositories, focusing on hardening and compliance. In aws-crt-builder, addressed multipart form data boundary generation by introducing Node.js crypto-based randomness with a safe fallback to Math.random, reducing predictability and aligning with FIPS requirements. In aws-crt-cpp, updated the test suite to use the latest PQ_DEFAULT TLS cipher preferences, ensuring tests reflect current post-quantum security standards. Leveraged C++, JavaScript, and CI/CD practices to maintain code quality and security validation. The work emphasized targeted bug fixes and configuration updates rather than feature development during the period.

February 2025: Security hardening of multipart form data boundary generation in awslabs/aws-crt-builder, using Node.js crypto for randomness with a safe fallback to Math.random, and updating the aws-lc FIPS submodule reference in the check-submodules action. The change reduces boundary predictability, lowers attack surface, and maintains alignment with FIPS requirements for dependencies.
