Hi Tom, I hear you may run a bwauth on Debian jessie, is that correct? If so, which version of the code are you using, and are there tricks to make it work? Cheers Sebastian

GSoC Application
by Damian Johnson 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Bah, seems Google pushed the org application window out a week. Could've sworn it started today, but instead it's 2/8-19. I'll be on vacation 2/5-15 so I might be able to take care of it when I get back but that's cutting it a little close. As mentioned on irc it might be good to have fresh blood take this over. Would anyone care to take over the org admin hat? If not then I'll take care of it when I get back. Cheers! -Damian

Visiting and speaking at Raboud Universiteit in Nijmegen this week

Hello, I'm at Raboud Universiteit in Nijmegen this week, visiting Peter Schwabe and the ICIS cryptography students. Tomorrow I'll be giving a talk to the students to explain what I work on, mostly to introduce myself so that the students can feel more comfortable talking to "the scary gothy hacker girl" about potential research/projects which they might work on on/for Tor. On Friday, I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet and have dinner with Joan Daemen (one of the creators of the Rijndael alorithm, which is now AES). :D If there's anything I can pass along to folks here, such as project ideas which might be useful to pitch to interested students, or cryptography questions, please let me know! ----- Forwarded message from Peter Schwabe <peter(a)cryptojedi.org> ----- > From: Peter Schwabe <peter(a)cryptojedi.org> > Subject: Visit and talk by Isis Lovecruft (The Tor project) > Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2016 09:02:23 +0100 > To: icis-all(a)cs.ru.nl, kerckhoffs-students(a)science.ru.nl, students(a)true-security.nl > Cc: Isis Lovecruft <isis(a)patternsinthevoid.net> > Delivered-To: <isis(a)patternsinthevoid.net> > > Dear all, > > Next week Isis Lovecruft will be visiting our group.
