All,
We are very pleased to announce the addition of a new team
member.
Krishna Sankar is joining our team as the new Squeak
Cryptography

The goal of this position is to set a path for the
cryptography team to
ensure that the Squeak Cryptography code meets the FIPS
common criteria
http://niap.bahialab.com/cc-scheme/cc_docs/index.cfm
which a first step on
the path to FIPS certification.

excited to have
Krishna join our efforts.
We are still searching for volunteers. I would like to
encourage anyone
that is even remotely interested in cryptography to join our
efforts. This
is the perfect time for you to join the group
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinf
o/cryptography .
If you need cryptography in your applications, working on
our common
criteria validation effort will help you learn about
cryptography and will
teach you about the common criteria process so that you can
apply what you
learn to your own application. We are working to divide the
tasks into
manageable chunks so that individual developers can pick up
a single piece
and contribute. We are organizing the effort so that we can
track, validate
and get proper feedback as to our progress. We have no
deadline, only a
path to follow.
Please help me welcome Krishna Sankar,
