[tor-dev] [GSoC] CONIKS for Tor Messenger - gsoc.hello()

[Huy Vu Quoc]

Hi everyone!

I'm Huy, a senior year undergraduate from HUST-Vietnam, who is starting to work with CONIKS for Tor Messenger as a part of Google Summer of Code. This project aims at implementing a CONIKS server for key verification and a CONIKS client which integrates with the Tor Messenger client. The details of CONIKS system is described in [0].

My mentors are Marcela and Arlo.

I will start with this project soon, may be on the first day of May and finish at the end of July. Currently, I am studying deeper about crypto primitives. After that, I think I will speed up with code base in the GitHub :)

I will be on IRC as c633, in GitHub as c633.

I will send bi-weekly status reports to this list, and also share it on my blog [1].

Cheers!
Vu Huy
