Kenji Urushima is a seasoned information security leader and Fellow of the CTO Office at GlobalSign K.K., with over 20 years' experience spanning PKI, cryptography, digital signatures, incident response and product management. He blends hands-on engineering (notably contributions to the widely used jsrsasign JavaScript cryptography library) with executive roles shaping security strategy, standards compliance and SaaS infrastructure. His background includes running CSIRT/PSIRT operations, quality assurance for cloud services, and advising CTO/CISO-level decisions, giving him rare visibility across research, operations and business development. Certified CISSP with deep familiarity in eIDAS, NIST, FIPS and Common Criteria, he frequently translates complex standards into practical, auditable solutions. Based in Tokyo and educated at Waseda University, he also brings long-term, cross-industry experience from telecoms to enterprise document services. Non-obvious strength: he combines protocol- and standards-level expertise (ASN.1, TPM/HSM, X.509) with pragmatic open-source code contributions that improve real-world cryptographic tooling.
