[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Interested in Debian Security Project for Gsoc 2013

[Trung Hieu Nguyen]

Dear Mr. Daniel,

I have not met any other Debian members or free software developers
personally as I did not have a chance to do so.

I have contributed to some project but it's small scale and for school
support only. I have not touched big scale open source project although I
always wanted to do so. That's why I'm  looking for a chance in GSoC with
Debian this year :)

I also have not used any security packages in Debian/ or either I have used
it unconsciously. Could you give me some specific list of packages so that
I can have a head-start?

Thanks and best regards,
Nguyen Trung Hieu.
