PROFILE
Paul Vié
Paul Vie contributed to the gchq/CyberChef repository by enhancing its AES encryption capabilities and improving code reliability over a two-month period. He implemented support for CBC/NoPadding and ECB/NoPadding AES modes, updating the AESEncrypt module to validate input lengths for NoPadding, which strengthened both correctness and security. Paul also addressed two critical bugs: he fixed a JavaScript syntax error to prevent runtime failures and refactored the mode extraction logic to handle input variations more robustly. His work demonstrated backend development and cryptography expertise in JavaScript, resulting in a more reliable and secure cryptographic workflow within CyberChef.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Focused on hardening the AES encryption workflow in gchq/CyberChef. Delivered two critical bug fixes that improve reliability and correctness of encryption/decryption paths: 1) fix a JavaScript syntax error in AESEncrypt.mjs to prevent runtime failures, and 2) improve robustness of mode extraction by splitting the input string on '/' to correctly determine the cipher mode. These changes reduce runtime errors, improve security posture, and enhance user confidence in cryptographic operations. Technologies demonstrated include JavaScript module maintenance, string parsing for mode detection, and patch-based, commit-driven development.
