Dear Lazyweb, Is anyone here (a) interested in crypto (b) prepared to work in Windows (c) at least aware of or interested in Rust and (d) fancying working with a Rust project to add support for Windows' Crypto-Next-Generation API ? If so, hit me up for a project idea.

This is something I'd 100% apply for as a job, but as a hobby, not so much

mmm, sorry but I fear it'd not be a job

No Windows expert, but have worked with that API... May I hear more about this project?

hi, sure. Sequoia-Pgp is a rust implementation of open pgp. It currently needs libnettle which is a crypto library which works nicely on mac and *nix but not on windows. They're looking for someone to help with making it possible to back onto cng.

I'm working on a crate in my freetime wrapping CNG (bcrypt.h) in Rust using the winapi crate. Nothing public yet, I was doing it as a learning exercise more than anything else.

It's to help the Sequoia-PGP project, so you'd have to ask them -- but I'd guess 'hobby'.

come along to the sequoia channel on irc and talk to neal if you're serious. If you need help with that, let me know
