Summary
Mario Serrano is a Senior Hardware Security and Vulnerability Researcher with nine years of experience specializing in side-channel attacks, fault injection, embedded device reverse engineering, and secure-boot architectures. Currently at the Technology Innovation Institute's Cryptography Research Center, he combines hands-on hardware hacking (EM, laser, voltage and clock glitching) with binary symbolic analysis and exploit development, and has contributed to real-world CVEs. His background includes leading Common Criteria and cryptographic certifications for defense and EU/NATO projects and designing hardened red-black hardware architectures and security modules for satellite and secure communications. Mario blends rigorous academic training in cybersecurity with practical project leadership and penetration testing experience from both evaluation labs and industry, making him fluent in both offensive research and formal assurance processes. A cypherpunk and privacy advocate, he brings a rare mix of offensive hardware techniques and systems-level security design to evaluate and remediate high-assurance devices.
