Note that - GNUnet is written in C, and this is not about rewriting - GNUnet in Java, but about getting the C code to run on Android. - </p> - <p> - Mentor: <a href="https://www.goebel-consult.de/">Hartmut Goebel</a> - </p> - - <h4>Help with Continuous Integration setup</h4> - <p> - There is a push for migrating our CI to Gitlab. The CI should - eventually not just run "make check" on various platforms, but also - perform tests with multiple peers running in different VMs with - specific network topologies (i.e. NAT) between them being simulated. - The CI should also be integrated with Gauger for performance - regression analysis. Running jobs only when dependencies have changed - and scripting more granular triggers or ideally automatic dependency - discovery (as done by the autotools) is also important. - </p> - <p> - Mentor: TBD - </p> - - - - <h4>Migrate gnunet-qr from Python 2.7 to C using libzbar</h4> - <p> - Python 2.7 is reaching its end-of-life, and we want to get rid - of the dependency on Python. The existing gnunet-qr tool is a - rather simple wrapper around python-zbar, which itself wraps - libzbar. The goal of this project is to directly use libzbar - to scan QR codes for GNUnet / the GNU Name System (see - also <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5562">#5562</a>). - </p> - <p> - Mentor: Christian Grothoff - </p> - - <h4>re:claimID OpenID Connect performance improvements</h4> - <p> - reclaimID is a decentralized identity system build on top of the GNU - Name System. - Upon authorization, the user provides a requesting party (RP) such as a website - with an authorization ticket (e.g. piggybacked in an OpenID authorization code). - The RP uses information contained in this ticket to - <ol> - <li> Retrieve the decryption key from GNS</li> - <li> Retrieve the user attributes from GNS</li> - </ol> - The GNS lookups ensure that the RP receives up-to-date attributes and functional - decryption keys. However, in particular the RP-specific encryption key - resolution can be slow and even fail depending on the network topology. - We propose that in an initial exchange, in particular OpenID authorization code - flows, we try to incorporate key and maybe even an attribute set in the ticket - exchange. - - In order to mitigate this issue, this project is meant to investigate and implement how... - <ol> - <li> ... decryption keys can be added to an initial exchange in OpenID.</li> - <li> ... initial set(s) of attributes can be piggybacked in OpenID.</li> - </ol> - <br/> - Mentor: Martin Schanzenbach - </p> - - <h4>re:claimID alternative GNS-based encryption</h4> - <p> - re:claimID is a decentralized identity system build on top of the GNU - Name System. - The initial design and implementation of re:claimID includes an attribute-based - encryption module in order to prevent unauthorized access to attributes in the - name system. - Our motivation for re:claimID was for it to be name system agnostic, which - means the design theoretically also works for other name systems such as - namecoin. - Other name systems often do not have built-in mechanisms in order to do this. - Hence, we implemented an ABE access control layer. Our ABE implementation - requires two third party libraries: libpbc and libgabe. While we could merge - libgabe into the gnunet service implementation of re:claimID, libpbc is a - rather large, third party library which lacks packaging in distributions and - for platforms. - On the other hand, GNS supports record data encryption using symmetric keys as - labels. - If we make the access control layer of re:claimID more generic in order to - support both ABE and GNS encryption, we could reduce the required depenencies. - This would result in gnunet packages to include re:claimID by default. - - In short, the goals are to... - <ol> - <li> ... improve performance by reducing encryption overhead.</li> - <li> ... reduce dependencies.</li> - </ol> - <br/> - Mentor: Martin Schanzenbach - </p> - </description> + <description>See the website for the updated list of GSoC job offerings.</description> <pubDate>Fri, 01 Feb 2019 00:00:00 UT</pubDate> </item> <item> |
