Would like to get some feedback on GSOC idea

[M C]

Hi everyone,

My name is Marek Chmiel, I am a student a NEIU. I am studying computer
science and network security related topics. This semester I had spent
a fair amount of time writing crypt related functions with java, and
became very interested in Cryptography. After looking over the
suggested ideas on SOC official wine wiki I was pleasantly surprised
to see that there was already a crypt related idea suggested. I have a
great understanding of c++ and java, and though I know c I have not
worked with it as much as the other languages.

Implementing a DSS provider sounds like an awesome task to tackle, if
someone has never written code for Linux, can they take on such a
task? Are there any significant issues implementing a DSS that you
guys know about? Any crypt GSOC ideas would you suggest for someone
who has wrote limited amount of code for Linux?

What I would also like to do, besides implementing a DSS provider, is
to fix most if not all of the crypt related bugs that remain in Wine.
This might seem like more than most people can chew, but viewing the
Bug Tracking database it appears that there aren't that many crypt
related bugs and might even be caused by a lack of a DSS provider
(Hopefully this wouldn't create a entire new series of bugs).

Thanks for any input I might receive, and look forward to speaking
with you all. I can also be found on the irc for development with the
nick "MarcoVonChmiel".
