Notes from the work.
Practical writing on post-quantum cryptography, legacy software modernization, and autonomous systems, including what the federal mandates and programs behind each one actually require.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
-
Federal PQC Mandates: EO 14412, OMB M-26-15, and CNSA 2.0
What EO 14412 and OMB M-26-15 require, how they fit with CNSA 2.0 and M-23-02, federal PQC migration deadlines, and what agencies and contractors should do now.
-
Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration Starts With an Inventory
Post-quantum cryptography migration fails without a cryptographic inventory. How to build a CBOM, prioritize by data lifetime, and test hybrid ML-KEM safely.
Legacy Modernization
-
AI Legacy Code Modernization Starts With Behavior, Not Syntax
AI legacy code modernization works when behavior is preserved: extract a behavior specification, gate every change with tests, and keep humans in approval.
-
Federal Legacy IT Modernization With AI: Evidence for the ATO
Federal legacy IT modernization with AI must produce evidence assessors can review, keep humans in approval, and run in disconnected, classified environments.
Robotics & Autonomy
-
Runtime Assurance for Autonomous Systems: Beyond Vehicle Health
Runtime assurance for autonomous systems means checking each course of action against mission contracts, with auditable evidence for DoD test and evaluation.
-
Tactile Sensing and Proprioception: What Robots Need to Feel
Why tactile sensing and robot proprioception matter more than vision for contact-rich manipulation, and how a shared somatosensory event schema could help.
