Anna Weine is a security engineer based in Paris with 11 years of experience bridging formal verification and practical cryptographic engineering. Currently at Mozilla, she brings deep academic rigor from a PhD in security/verification at Inria to production security work, particularly on formally verified cryptographic primitives. Her open-source contributions to the well-regarded HACL* project include implementing ECC primitives, generating verified C code with KreMLin, and hardening signing, verification, and key validation paths. She has hands-on experience with fault attacks and blockchain verification from earlier internships, reflecting a rare combination of offensive and defensive security insight. Anna is fluent in moving formally proven designs into real-world code, making her valuable for high-assurance security initiatives.

HACL*, a formally verified cryptographic library written in F*
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer & Security Engineer
Contributions:30 reviews, 1325 commits, 30 PRs in 3 years 10 months
Contributions summary:Anna's contributions focused on implementing and integrating Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) primitives within the HACL* cryptographic library, which is written in F*. Their work includes generating new code with KreMLin and addressing issues related to the SHA-1 algorithm. These changes involved generating and modifying C code for cryptographic operations, with the goal of achieving formally verified cryptographic primitives and enhancing security. Specifically, the user has worked on signing, verification, and key validation as well as other improvements to the cryptographic library.
