Hello everyone, Now that I got my employer's autorization to participate in Mono let me introduce myself - I'm S�bastien Pouliot and I work as security architect for Motus Technologies. As part of my work I'm involved in all kind of security related technologies such as: smart cards, cryptography, PKI and biometry and I've experience implementing many security standards.
Back in summer 2001 (at the time the .NET framework beta 2 has just been released), as a project to learn C# and web service, I decided to implement both a XKMS service and client (http://www.w3.org/2001/XKMS/). In order to use commercial web hosting I had to deploy a 100% managed web service - which prevented me from using CryptoAPI to generate the X509 certificates. So I had to roll my own implementation... but that's another story! Anyway this adventure has led me to work with most classes of the System.Security.Cryptography.* namespaces. Ever since I was impressed by C# (which was no surprise since I was a big Delphi fan) but I didn't have much free time until now to play again with the technology. But during that time I found out about Mono and begun following its evolution and frankly I'm quite impressed about all the work that has been done so far. For my part, I intend to help in the System.Security.Cryptography.* and in the Microsoft.WSDK.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates namespaces. On the bad side this is my first participation in an Open Source project (and never used CVS or Bugzilla), my UN*X skills predates Linux, my home development environment is limited to Windows and (it should be obvious by now) I'm not related to Shakespeare as far as english is concerned. Apart from that I look like a regular geek ;-) S�bastien Pouliot Security Architect, Motus Technologies, http://www.motus.com/ work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
