PROFILE
Nmoray
Nikhil worked on the sonic-net/sonic-buildimage repository, developing a unified passkey encryption module that secures authentication protocols such as TACACS, RADIUS, and LDAP. He designed a common cipher API for encryption and decryption, centralized cipher storage management, and status checks, using Python, YANG, and Bash. His work included updating the TACACS YANG model to support encrypted passkeys and longer credentials, as well as implementing password rotation and backup/restore for cipher_pass.json to ensure data integrity during NOS upgrades. These features improved key management, reduced plaintext exposure, and enabled secure credential rotation, demonstrating depth in backend security engineering.

May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for sonic-net/sonic-buildimage: Delivered a Unified Passkey Encryption Module spanning TACACS, RADIUS, and LDAP, introducing a common cipher API (encrypt/decrypt), cipher storage management, and status checks. Updated the TACACS YANG model to support encrypted passkeys and increased passkey length. Implemented centralized cipher storage lifecycle to strengthen key management. These changes reduce plaintext exposure across authentication protocols and lay the groundwork for security policy enforcement and audits.
