Over a three-month period, GB1 Choi developed and integrated advanced cryptographic features for the chipsalliance/caliptra-sw repository, focusing on secure key management and encryption engine enhancements. Choi implemented an encryption engine emulator in Rust, enabling robust key loading, unloading, and zeroization with comprehensive error handling. Building on this, they expanded the OCP LOCK encryption engine’s command set and integrated new request and response structures, improving runtime security and key lifecycle management. Choi also delivered end-to-end Master Encryption Key (MEK) workflows, including vault-based MEK loading and DMA path updates, leveraging Rust, embedded systems expertise, and DMA programming for secure operations.
March 2026: Delivered end-to-end Key Vault-based MEK management integration for the OCP LOCK encryption engine in caliptra-sw, enabling secure MEK loading and release from a vault, and updating the DMA software emulator to support vault-to-AXI data paths.
