PROFILE

Vikas Tikoo

Worked on the microsoft/attested-ohttp-server repository, focusing on enhancing attestation features and reliability over a three-month period. Developed robust test coverage for Microsoft Azure Attestation (MAA) interactions, validating token fetching and handling both valid and invalid URL scenarios with TPM event log checks. Introduced PCR-based decryption control by extending the attestation flow with a pcr_bitmask argument and Rust wrapper support, improving security and flexibility. Enabled Kusto ingestion by updating the attestation library to support JSON-formatted logs and stdout flushing, which improved telemetry and troubleshooting. Utilized Rust, C, and system programming skills to deliver these targeted improvements.
