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)

regards,
Nikos
