Dave Wheeler

Dave Wheeler is a Senior Principal Engineer in the Platform Security Division of IAGS at Intel Corporation and has thirty years’ experience in software, security and networking. In his current role, Dave is responsible for research and development of new cryptographic algorithms and protocols, security APIs and libraries across Intel including for IoT platforms, performs security reviews on Intel’s cryptographic implementations, and represents Intel at the IETF. Within the Internet of Things, Dave has contributed to Intel’s Software-Defined Industrial Systems architecture and IOTG’s Health Application Platform. Prior to Intel, Dave held various lead software and systems architecture positions at Motorola, Honeywell Bull, General Dynamics, as well as his own consulting firm. Dave has designed and built several hardware security engines, including a Type-2 security coprocessor for a software defined radio, and the Intel Wireless Trust Module, a hardware cryptographic coprocessor on the Intel XScale processor. He has implemented several cryptographic libraries and protocol layers, including an IPSec-type implementation for an SDR radio, header compression protocol layers for IP, TCP, and UDP over multicast, a connectionless network layer protocol, two-factor authentication verification over RADIUS for a firewall VPN, PPP for serial, an instant messaging protocol over Bluetooth, and many others. Dave has been a key contributor to other full-stack product implementations including Intel's Blue River Network appliance, several complete public Internet applications in PHP, JavaScript/Sails, and even VBScript. Dave has also worked on smartcard security for banking and gaming applications at a startup, Touch Technology. While at Motorola 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. He has led clean-room implementations for ISAKMP, IKEv2, and a custom network-keying protocol. Dave's extensive experience in security, networking, software and hardware is leveraged across a broad segment of Intel’s Internet of Things to make Intel’s products and software projects secure.Dave Wheeler is a Senior Principal Engineer in the Platform Security Division of IAGS at Intel Corporation and has thirty years’ experience in software, security and networking.
