Hi, my name is Adam Saleh, and once again I have almost missed the deadline for GSOC :-) Actually I only realized it yesterday, so I decided, that I will first write you my proposal for a proposal.
Hopefully sometime tomorrow drop a patch on this list (I am quite interested in adding floating poin to printf http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/221) So, if anybody is already working on printf, let me know :) (I have skimmed throught the mailing list, and didn't see anybody and as far a I can tell from printf_core it is not implemented yet) ============================= Proposal: Adding SSL to network stack ============================= * Why? I am in it for the money and somewhat lower-level network-security related experience. I am in second semester Master at Masaryk university, major in Information Security. I think, that having ssl implementation in HelenOS would bring it one step closer to become a viable platform for server aplications. * What would be my ultimate goal? I'd hope to provide working https enabled web-server (aking to webserv). * Implementation? I haven't yet decided whether I would try to port some existing library, or try to create new library. I believe new library would fit non-posix nature of helenos better, on the other hand, it is a good practice not to reimplement basic cryptographic primitives. Project would have these milestones: 1) implementation/porting and testing of basic cryptographic primitives 2) implementation and testing of openssl certificates verification * I don't think, I should write Certificate Authority, I believe security requirements on CA's would make it another project. 3) implementation of the protocol itself What do you think about it?
