Hello Alistair, David, and the tech-crypto team,

It's been a week from the start of Google Summer of Code. It was a pretty
exciting week, and I hope this remains the same until the end of the
program.

This email is to brief about my progress with the project:


Project title: *Modern cryptographic algorithms to netpgp, netpgpverify*
Mentors: *Alistair Crooks & David Maxwell*

*Goals accomplished*:
1. Instaling NetBSD 7.1.2 and current( 8.99.16 ) in a virtual machine.
(multiple times with different configurations)
2. Installing sources from CVS, for both src and pkgsrc.
3. System build( Kernel build ) using build.sh
4. Set up independent Github repository for netpgp and netpgpverify. Links
at the bottom.
5. Compile and build netpgp. Did not do for netpgpverify.
6. Read RFC 4880, understood the workflow of netpgp & netpgpverify( not
completely though).

*Planned goals for next week*:
1. Understand the changes needed to allow the addition of ed25518 and
salsa20 in netpgp and netpgpverify
2. Research for places to get these implementations with proper accepted
license
3. Workaround with netpgp to understanding it's functioning with different
inputs and their output.
4. Understanding the test setup of netpgp and netpgpverify
