André N. Klingsheim

For those wondering what I've been up to lately.

The last couple of years I've been working in the financial sector as a security architect, mostly concerned with development of ASP.NET applications. In addition to my day to day development chores I'm also maintaining two open source projects. In mid-2013 I received the MVP award in Developer Security.

To keep an eye on what I'm up to these days you should find me on Twitter: . You'll find that I'm less active on other social networks such as: and .

You can also reach me by e-mail, try my klingsen Gmail for private matters or klings at appsec (dot) no if it's work related.

I occasionally post something to my , here are my latest ramblings:


Projects

I have a couple of projects "on the side." I see regular downloads in the projects' statistics, so it might well be that someone find them useful. Have a look!

NWebsec

NWebsec is a security library for ASP.NET applications. It can help you set security headers in HTTP responses, suppress version headers, and control cache headers. NWebsec is available through NuGet — you'll quickly have it up and running. Consult the project website to learn the nitty gritty details.

Transformtool

TransformTool is an encoding multitool. It lets you easily apply a series of encoding operations to an input. There are many possibilities — ranging from all character sets supported in the .NET framework to common application level encodings such as HTML, URL, and Base64 encoding. The tools also supports common hash and crypto algorithms.

Github

I also have a GitHub account, where I keep various projects that are somewhat short lived. E.g. applications used for demos during a talk usually live here.

My GitHub repos

Research

A few years back I was part of a research group at the University of Bergen: NoWires research group. My research papers are accounted for here.

My PhD thesis is available for download (it includes all papers below).
My Master's thesis was titled J2ME Bluetooth programming.
