Hi, Thanks for your response. I want to contribute to this project (Symmetric-key block cipher). I am aware of that there are already two candidates who are working on this project, but I still want to give it a try. For the qualification round, suggest me some task. I can implement the hash function (CMAC, HMAC,..) if it is considered as suitable.
