Crypto Stick (an open source USB key for encryption and secure authentication) has been accepted as a mentor organization for Google Summer of Code (GSOC) 2013. One of our desired projects is to bring smart card support at pre-boot stage to LUKS/dm-crypt. If you are a student interested in working on cool crypto stuff, developing a high security system, latest web security or embedded programming - this is for you. You can apply for a project with us and if accepted our mentors will work with you over the summer and Google will sponsor you USD 5000 during that time. Please check out our ideas page at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/cryptostick/wiki/Ideas or suggest your own idea. And, join our mailinglist to discuss it: https://lists.crypto-stick.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Your applications should be submitted through Google Melange (https://google-melange.com) until 3rd May! You can continue to submit additional information and comments into the system after your initial application submission. In order to participate in the program, you must be a student in an accredited institution or university.
