Description 

We have an amazing new project Hyperledger Ursa, that is a secure cryptography library for different projects. As the main idea of Hyperledger is to make projects interoperable it would be great to integrate Ursa cryptography into Iroha or/and maybe include Iroha's cryptography into Ursa.

Learning Objectives

The intern will get guided by Iroha maintainers and contributors, that are ready to share their extensive knowledge obtained over years of research in cryptography and blockchain

She will be able to create a link between different projects that reflects the global tendency of cooperation and focus on interoperability including the idea of open-source development

Expected Outcome

Ursa library can be used in Iroha or Iroha cryptography could be included into Ursa libraries
