Hello, I am interested in helping out with the development of Nettle. Are there any small projects I could undertake to get started?

Most likely Niels has his own ideas, but nettle related projects that could be of use in gnutls are: 1. Addition of an API for the RSASSA-PSS a signing scheme (described in rfc3447) 2. Improvements of the AESNI implementation (currently it is too slow and gnutls ships another implementation) 3. Usage of the intel pclmul instruction to optimize the GCM mode 4. Addition of OCB encryption mode (as in draft-zauner-tls-aes-ocb-03) 5. Addition of brainpool curves (quite large project - curves described in rfc5639)
