What are you working on?

Whpearson recently mentioned that people in some other online communities frequently ask "what are you working on?". I personally love asking and answering this question. I made sure to ask it at the Seattle meetup. However, I don't often see it asked here in the comments, so I will ask it:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started, those are for a different thread.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable

I'm not sure Applied Crypto is a brilliant place to start. Practical Cryptography is in many ways a kind of apology for the sorts of mistakes that people make after reading Applied Cryptography. Though they do have a role, people don't appreciate the extent to which we care a lot less about warm fuzzies than about what you can prove, whether that's eg a security reduction or resistance to differential and linear cryptanalysis.

Thanks for the pointer!
