Re: [ease-dev] [EASE-dev] Introduction

Hi Varun,

good first commit, so you passed the entry test!

Regarding signing eclipse does not provide any certificate storage plugins or similar - at least not to my knowledge. One option would be to provide signing support with the available registered Java certificates. It would be great if the tooling would allow to create (self signed) certificates and to import given certificates within some UI. Preferrably somewhere in the preferences. BouncyCastle would also be an option as it is supported and provided by eclipse.

The proposal from my side is quite rough. You should think about it and try to come up with useful ideas how to implement it. What we expect is a useful addition to EASE, so a proof of concept would not be sufficient. If you like we can discuss your ideas on this list, but having some extra ideas would also be a benefit for your proposal in case you have to battle with other interested students.

cheers
Christian

Hi Christian,

As you have guided, I have fetched the source code of EASE, have added a JavaDoc and pushed the change on gerrit. Click Here to see the change.

I am interested in project EASE: Add Support to sign and verify scripts for GSOC 2016.

I know cryptography, am familiar with java security API, and signing and verification. I am also familiar with running scripts with EASE.

Also, I wanted to know, what support are we going to provide to sign scripts? Will signing be through OpenPGP or user can sign using certificates that he is having.

If we are going to use OpenPGP, then there is nice library BouncyCastle which we can use.

Thanks for helping!

Hi Varun,

glad you are interested in applying for GSoC. As there might be some
competition among students I suggest you start digging around a bit in
the mainling list archives. I posted some guidelines a few weeks past.
For your application to be considered you need to commit a very simple
patch as explained on the mailing list. This is just to prove that you
are able to fetch the source code and start working with bugzilla/gerrit.

regards
Christian
