Joe Mcclure

Worked on the OpenLiberty/open-liberty repository to enhance password handling performance by enabling native PBKDF2 support for encryption-related operations. This was achieved by configuring the server startup with the -Djdk.nativePBKDF2=true JVM option, allowing password utilities to leverage native cryptographic capabilities and reduce authentication latency. The work focused on performance tuning and encryption, utilizing Shell scripting for deployment and configuration. By integrating native cryptography at the JVM level, the changes established a foundation for faster and more reliable password operations, aligning with broader project goals for security and efficiency without introducing new bugs during the development period.
