Last week I had the opportunity to be on the Stacey on IoT podcast. I started listening to Stacey and Kevin a few months ago and I was impressed with their industry news coverage. It was fun chatting with Stacey on why an embedded security engineer is an important, but often missing role on design… Read More
This week I was on the Amp Hour podcast! If you like embedded security, crazy stories about life on a submarine, want to hear a teaser on our upcoming CCC talk, or how to make blockchain beef, you should find something in here for you! 😉
Cryptotronix just celebrated its five year anniversary! This all started with the humble hashlet and now we have four employees covering embedded hardware (circuit design/PCB layout/RTL), firmware (MCU/Linux drivers/App development) and of course, security (audit/design/architecture/development).

SparkFun posted a blog post on IoT Security. While posting to a blog isn’t newsworthy (unless it’s the one you are currently reading 🙂 ), I’m very encouraged to see this post at SparkFun. The makers/engineers building projects/products are the front line–a systems security engineer like me is combat support. I had a small excerpt… Read More
Here are my slides from my talk at Portland Bsides: pdf. The fpga repo is here.
