This week is the week where I try to finish up all of the basic functionalities of the application. What I had left was to figure out how to create a custom x509v3 extension with Botan C++. As recommended by Dr Shawn, I used the UserRole extension, as shown here. Read more…
This is week three of my internship at Aeste Works. Three main tasks were assigned to me this week. First was to study on the programming & configuration protocols of three different FPGA’s namely Xilinx’s Spartan-6, Intel’s Cyclone and Lattice’s iCE40. Currently, the company’s own board incorporates the Xilinx Spartan Read more…
In this week I was experimenting with Yosys. Yosys was a Verilog HDL synthesis tool. A synthesis would automatically convert a high-level representation of a circuit to that of a low-level representation. The behavioral design description would be an input for Yosys and it was able to generate a register-transfer Read more…
The major thing that I managed to get done by this week was the implementation of interfacing with the WooCommerce REST API. As a reminder, this is only done by the application when a new subscription for an organization certificate is made, and the customer also chooses the option to Read more…
This was the second week being an Intern at Aeste. At the start of the week, Dr Shawn explained the overview of the main project that I would be handling during this internship. One of the tasks were to eventually interface a few other popular FPGA’s with the PIC microcontroller Read more…
In this week, I was mainly dealing with Verilog. Verilog was a hardware description language (HDL) and it was used to describe a digital system. Firstly, I tested out a 8-bit simple up counter and ran it within the terminal. The code was comparable to Altera Quartus II. I had Read more…
This week was all about catching up. The project that I will be working was introduced this week by Dr Shawn which looked both interesting and challenging at the same time. I was assigned to upgrade and improve the functionality of two main parts in an existing design software. As Read more…
This week, I made one more step of progress by implementing the Certificate Revocation List (CRL). The CRL holds a list of certificates that had to be revoked before their expiry date for a particular reason. In our case, that reason would be to handle the case where the customers Read more…
This was the first week being an Intern at Aeste. One of the tasks given this week was to learn about Git. It’s a version control system primarily used to efficiently manage code in software development. There are a lot features that makes Git a powerful management tool. We can Read more…
On the first day of the internship, I set up my AESTE account and imported the PKCS#12 certificate into the chromium browser. As I started interacting with the linux environment, I spent some time reading through Linux commands online. Some of the most basic commands were shown below. cd: change Read more…
