PROFILE
Paul Vié
Worked on the gchq/CyberChef repository to enhance AES encryption capabilities and improve code reliability. Developed support for CBC/NoPadding and ECB/NoPadding AES modes, updating the AESEncrypt module to handle these configurations and adding input validation to enforce correct data length for NoPadding. Addressed two critical bugs by correcting a JavaScript syntax error to prevent runtime failures and refactoring mode extraction logic to robustly parse cipher modes from input strings. Demonstrated backend development and cryptography expertise using JavaScript, focusing on secure, maintainable code. The work strengthened encryption workflows and reduced the risk of errors in cryptographic operations.

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.
