PROFILE

Paul Louvel

Worked on the openssl/openssl repository to enhance the build system, improve command line interface usability, and strengthen security compliance. Developed features in C and Perl that introduced conditional macro handling for SipHash and automated the generation of disabled features during configuration, enabling more granular feature toggling and leaner builds. Enhanced the CLI by providing detailed output of disabled algorithms and protocols, improving auditability and user experience. Contributed to security engineering by disabling ECDH and ECDSA in the FIPS provider, aligning with compliance requirements and reducing exposure to unapproved cryptographic methods. Focused on configuration management and cryptography throughout the work.
