I've proposed a GSoC project to improve SSL and PKI in Debian[1] Several students with an interesting background have already contacted me about this, but I may need additional help from co-mentors to make the project a reality The scope is deliberately quite broad: my own packages use TLS certificates for SIP, but the work done by a GSoC project would be generalised to support all kinds of use cases, including HTTPS, VPN, mail, ... Would anybody else be interested in assisting with this? 1. http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/Projects#Improving_PKI_on_Debian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-apache-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
