PROFILE
Ryan Hooper
Ryan Hooper contributed to the curl/curl and openssl/openssl repositories, focusing on cryptographic feature development and security improvements. He implemented hybrid KEM support in wolfSSL, aligning it with OpenSSL 3.5 to enhance TLS interoperability and cryptographic robustness using C and security protocols. In OpenSSL, Ryan clarified documentation for TLS configuration and improved client/server verification consistency, reducing misconfiguration risks. He also enhanced SSL trace observability for MLKEM-based groups and stabilized CI pipelines by addressing cross-compilation issues. Additionally, he fixed a memory leak in CMS_EncryptedData_set1_key, demonstrating attention to memory management and code stability. His work reflects depth in C programming and cryptography.
