Hi, everyone.

My name is Michał Górny and I'm a first year MSE student at Poznan
University of Technology. I'm studying power engineering, though most
of you probably know me as a Gentoo developer and initiator of a few
big projects lately.

I would like to participate as a student in this year's GSoC, running
a project of implementing an OpenID server on identity.gentoo.org.
The goal is to provide a complete OpenID provider using Gentoo LDAP
authentication and to develop support for using OpenID in Gentoo
services such as blogs and forums.

The goals include:

- building a complete and secure OpenID server,

- providing all the options necessary to control OpenID use effectively
  -- including changing permissions given to the sites and controlling
  the data exchanged with them,

- using OpenID extended attribute exchange to pass Gentoo-specific
  information in the OpenID requests including ACLs for Gentoo services,

- using Gentoo LDAP servers for authentication and obtaining user
  information,

- supporting multiple authentication mechanisms including:

  a) secure password-based authentication (challenge-response likely),

  b) client certificate-based auth,

  c) SSH-based auth,

  d) GPG-based auth.

The project will be implemented in django, as an extension
of the current identity.gentoo.org code [1].

Do you have any questions or suggestions?
