Rafael Silva

Rafael Silva is cybersecurity specialist and researcher focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence, software supply-chain security, digital trust, and post-quantum cryptography. With more than fifteen years of experience in information security, his work spans cyber intelligence, digital forensics, DevSecOps, infrastructure security, and emerging cyber-risk models associated with autonomous systems and quantum computing.

Throughout his career, Rafael has contributed to initiatives involving cyber intelligence, critical infrastructure, and large-scale security operations, working across both operational and research environments. His recent research has focused on the long-term resilience of software ecosystems, hybrid post-quantum cryptographic architectures, and trust engineering for modern AI pipelines. His work includes practical frameworks for securing LLM software supply chains through deterministic provenance models and hybrid cryptographic signing strategies integrating classical and post-quantum mechanisms.
