Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPankaj Gupta is a Principal Engineer specializing in platform security and secure firmware for ARMv8/TrustZone and NXP SoCs, bringing over 18 years of embedded systems experience with a decade focused on security. He architects HSM solutions across RISC-V and ARM platforms, maintains Trusted Firmware-A and NXP CAAM Linux drivers, and has driven TLS record-layer offload to hardware to enable tens of thousands of TLS connections per second. Pankaj authored a chapter on Security and Cryptography for an Elsevier embedded systems book and routinely upstreams platform and OP-TEE enhancements to community projects like TF-A and the Linux kernel. He combines low-level assembly and secure monitor work with user-space HSM libraries and kernel drivers, often migrating proprietary platform stacks to community-led TF-A. Comfortable managing international teams and customers, he has hands-on experience enabling chain-of-trust, TZASC, SECMON and warm-reset support across multiple NXP platforms. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of turning hardware crypto capabilities into practical, high-throughput software solutions for real customer deployments.

Contributions summary:Pankaj primarily focused on enhancing the functionality of the ARM Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) project by introducing APIs to interact with node registers within the CCN (Cache Coherent Network) and CCI (Cache Coherent Interconnect) drivers. Their work involved adding new APIs for setting and reading node register values, modifying existing code to utilize node IDs instead of positions for calculations within the RN-I (Region Network Interface), and creating new NXP-specific drivers for hardware crypto accelerators (CAAM), SD/eMMC drivers, I2C, PMU, and a security monitor. Furthermore, they implemented a warm reset handler for PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET2 and updated the tools for certificate creation.
