Management

David M. Wheeler, CISSP, CSSLP

Dave Wheeler has over twenty years experience in software, security and networking. Most recently, Dave provided security and software expertise to GDC4S on their HMS projects. He designed the Type-2 security subsystem for an SDR platform, and wrote the cryptographic implementations for traffic processing (COMSEC & TRANSEC). He also designed the TRANSEC interfaces for a satellite waveform, extending the standard-based interfaces for the Radio Security Services API under the Software Communications Architecture to accomodate a UMTS-like Cover/Decover service. Before forming SecureComm, Dave was a Senior Staff engineer at Intel where he designed and developed the Intel Wireless Trust Module (WTM), a hardware cryptographic coprocessor on the Intel XScale processor. Dave architected the solution, oversaw the hardware development, developed the microcode, and helped direct the software and test teams in development and test of the board support package for the WTM. Dave also contributed to many other areas of security at Intel; he helped develop the security direction for the Intel's mangability directive for processors, and while Intel was active with network appliances, provided security analysis and penetration testing of the Blue River NTAP. Prior to Intel, Dave worked as a consultant for web applications (Compuware), satellite communications (Motorola), and cryptographic library interfaces. He also worked on smartcard security for banking and gaming applications at Touch Technology. While at Motorola GSTG in 1992, Dave authored the "Security Association Management Protocol" for the National Security Agency, and subsequently spoke nationally about key management and key management protocols. Dave's experience in security, networking, software and hardware provides a broad and deep base for SecureComm's systems and software projects.
