Sure Gerv. Don't worry, there were no missed introductions, though I have been lurking here for several years, so you may have seen me pop in and out of the threads. After participating in the Chromium projects as a non-Google contributor for the past two years-ish in my free time, I've recently joined Wan-Teh at Google on the Chrome team. Among other things, I'll be continuing in my involvement on Chrom[e/ium]'s crypto / TLS stack, which includes our use of libpkix on Linux, and, as Brian mentioned, possibly other platforms in the future, and NSS/libssl across all platforms. Prior to joining Google, I managed the cross-platform PKI/TLS/crypto stack for my previous employer, and helped guide the product through two NIST FIPS 140-2 validations at Level 2 (hardware & software). My PKI experience was primarily focused on the enterprise, educational, and government use cases - smart cards, bridge CAs, revocation checking, non-root trust anchors, etc - eg: the complex/annoying stuff. While this is a bit of a different beast than the browser/web-oriented focus of Chrome and Firefox, this experience hopefully allows me to bring a new/different perspective - and certainly leaves me with some fun horror stories to share. I'm looking forward to taking a more active role, transitioning from just working around things in Chrom[e/ium] to working to integrate and upstream proper fixes for the underlying issues.
