We're committed to providing fair and equitable compensation to all our colleagues. As a candidate, we encourage you to have an open dialogue with a member of our HR Team and ask compensation related questions, including pay details for this role.

The Cryptography Planning team is responsible for development of the Cryptography Framework and Guiding Principles for TD Bank to enable in-depth cryptographic data protection for on-premises, mobile and in the Cloud. We are tasked with researching vendors and solutions, proposal, evaluation, developing systems blueprints, and creation of documentation for building and automation of Data Protection technologies and, as needed, the re-engineering of existing technologies in the Information and Data Security space. This will entail collaboration with the Crypto Lab team for Proof-of-Concept evaluation of products, and preparation of solution blueprint documentation for handing over to the Crypto Engineering team for build and testing.

The ideal candidate possesses subject matter expertise on identifying cryptographic and data security gaps at the enterprise level scale, performing impact and stakeholder analysis, and recommending remediating measures.

This role will be responsible for solutions in areas such as, but not limited to:

• Cryptographic protection of Data at Rest and Data in Transit.
• Cryptography Governance (Policies, Procedures, Standards, Guides).
• Database Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and encryption in Transi.t
• Protecting data in Public Cloud (Azure, Google).
• Thales Vormetric/CipherTrust Data At Rest Encryption.
• Hardware Security Module (HSM) - Thales, Entrust, Utimaco, Atalla.
• Cryptographic Tools (Venafi)
• PKI (x509 Digital Certificates, SSH, Microsoft ADCS, TLS ciphers)
• Key Lifecycle Management for symmetric and asymmetric keys.
• Post-Quantum Cryptography.

The successful candidate must have demonstrated ability to identify, analyze and document solutions in these areas using Systems Engineering Development Lifecycle approach (V-Model), and to work closely with Business and Engineering teams to warrant that built solutions enhance productivity and add business value.

Technical Requirements

The successful candidate is expected to have sound technical knowledge in a wide range of Information and Data Security technologies, frameworks, tools, processes, and procedures. This role is looking for people with skills in as many of the below technology areas as possible:

• 3+ year experience in Cryptography domain.
• Technologies and security controls for protection of data at rest and data in transit.
• In-depth knowledge of PCI DSS requirements for data protection.
• Understanding and navigation of NIST 800-Series Special Publications in respect to cryptography and FIPS 140-3 certification levels for cryptographic modules.
• In-depth knowledge of various cryptographic and encryption technologies and standards (Symmetric/Asymmetric cryptography, PKI, Digital Signing and Hashing).
• Understanding principles of Post-Quantum Cryptography and its standardization.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts to values and outcomes for communicating to Senior Leadership and non-technical Business partners.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office suite for developing presentation decks, design documentation, drawings, and reports.
