Since we are going to work on the idea of encrypted lists, you are
expected to be aware about the basic types of encryption, their purpose
and which would be suitable for this case. Usually, we use public-key
cryptography for signing/encrypting emails.

You may want to read up a bit on how and what would "encrypted lists"
actually mean. There was a pretty good discussion for Google Summer of
Code 2013 on the same topic and I believe it might be helpful for you
get started (You can search the archives for this list and if possible
filter with my name as sender to find the threads).

Mostly just Linux and python are what we use for development.

A bug fix is needed for you to complete your application, so that is a
must. Apart from that, we want you to have some idea about what this
project is actually about. We (the mentors) would then chime in with the
details and reviews and all our help for your application.
