[GSoC 2012] Faster elliptic curve scalar multiplication project.

[Ilya Tumaykin]

Hello everyone.

I am a 4th year student of Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics in Moscow 
State University and I would like to work on this project during summer. I am 
studying at department of mathematics and my field of interests is algebraic 
and number coding theory, so I have a good general theoretical background. 
However, I am not very familiar with elliptic curves, but I am a devoted 
person and willing to improve my knowledge about this subject.

I have a strong C knowledge and long-time experience with it. Currently, I am 
working on C(+GMP) implementation of discrete logarithm solver at my 
university. My part in this project is almost done, thus it won't interfere 
with my work for GSoC. I am also an experienced Linux user for several years. 
This includes that working with git is not something fearful.

So, I would like to take over this task to improve one of the most widely used 
libraries and also improve my general knowledge in elliptic curves area.
