Field notes
Engineering perspective on IoT firmware, verification discipline, and what it takes to ship beyond the lab.
- Your Wi-Fi WPA3 network has a quantum problem. Here's the fix coming in IEEE 802.11bt. WPA3's SAE handshake rests on elliptic-curve cryptography that Shor's algorithm breaks retroactively. A look at the Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later threat, why MLWE is quantum-resistant, and what IEEE 802.11bt actually defines.
- Linux 7.0 dropped. The version number is boring. What's inside isn't. The first major kernel bump since the 2.x era is not about the round number — it is official Rust, post-quantum module signing, self-healing XFS, and AI reshaping kernel development.
- Zephyr is not just an RTOS — it is a silicon-to-cloud force multiplier The kernel is a tiny fraction of Zephyr. The real leverage is the ecosystem: networking, security, and vendor-neutral HALs — and how that shapes production IoT.
- The Dotstar verification loop: from pre-silicon to cloud — no shortcuts How we combine agentic AI acceleration, hardware-in-the-loop testing, wireless performance suites, and senior architectural governance for IoT that survives reality — not just the lab.
