Hello, thanks for the email. I know the project is quite huge and it is still growing/changing.. :D And we always need some people who'd like to volunteer.
The big thing, right now, is the development of the LibPKI which will be the basic building block for all the other OpenCA's projects. Indeed I ported the OpenCA PRQPD to LibPKI and I am in the process of porting the OpenCA OCSPD too. One thing we would need is to have bindings for other programming languages. I was planning on using SWIG to generate the needed stubs for the different programming languages - it should not require too much work, I guess. Another important thing would be the porting of LibPKI in the Windows environment. For this we could try to use CMake, but I am not sure I want to completely abandon the current build system which works on many systems :D For porting LibPKI to Win machines we would need to port the posix parts to Windows APIs. That means we will still use openssl as the underlying crypto lib, but we need to work on: - network code - thread safety (especially for OpenSSL initialization and PKI_log interface) - adding a driver for the Windows Crypto API (so that we can integrate directly with the system calls and take advantage - is there any, really? - of integrating with the system-supported devices) Plenty of work ? Well.. yes! But it is also a lot of fun.. :D hehehe! On my side I still have to work on several aspects of LibPKI before I can release the 0.4.0 version - the RC1 is out in the repository (http://ftp.openca.org/) but some details have to be fixed/enhanced in the extensions management. For the LibPKI we *REALLY* need someone to test it and produce some examples/documentation on how to use it. We use doxygen for the calls documentation, but that does not really help newbies: examples and suggestions would be better. We have the wiki at: http://mm.cs.dartmouth.edu/wiki/index.php/LibPKI which needs to be updated/fixes/enhanced... :D So.. are you ready to work ? Well.. let me know!!!! :D Ciao, Max On 9/29/09 6:23 AM, bahareh rostamiyan wrote:
Hello all. I've developed a Smart Card CSP for my B.Sc Thesis by C++ and I'd like to participate in some parts of this huge project. But since I'm new to this project, don't have enough knowledge about it, so I don't know which parts of this project are "interesting & challenging" subjects to develop? I also can gather some other students to work on "Open" parts. Could I ask you introduce me which parts of this project are subject to develop and work on? And where would be better to start with?(e.g. Documents, source codes, ...) Also, Please offer me some great and advanced project Titles for "M.Sc" and "P.hD" Thesis about "OpenCA" Project? Please guide me, I'm so passion to contribute with this project!!
