Project Skeinforce

I am kicking off an ambitious fun project code named 'Skeinforce', named after Skein hash function library by renowned security guru Bruce Schneier.

Well here is my plan:

Phase One
  1. Skeinforce shall be a free GUI tool, secure, light weight and simple to use.
  2. Skeinforce shall be developed using Qt cross-platform C++ development platform initially under Mac Snow Leopard operating system.
  3. Skeinforce shall use C++ encryption utility library that I developed earlier called 'simpass'. Simpass is based on Skein hash functions.

Phase Two
  1. Deploy Skeinforce and Simpass source code to open source community (sourceforge.net), so that Skeinforce can be ported to Windows, Linux and Unix. This is also required as Qt comes with LGPL license. Or... 
  2. Manage my own open source web site for Skeinforce through Google AppEngine.
