<title>GSoC Week 1 Report: Remembering Digital Signatures</title><summary>In the first week of GSoC, the focus was on implementing an option to remember digital signatures session-wise in LibreOffice. The initial setup involved creating a testing environment with numerous certificates, filing a bug on Bugzilla, and exploring the relevant codebase. The main workflow of the patch is now complete, with the next steps being to link the resigning function to the saving request and cache certificates and signatures per session.</summary>

<title>Week 3 Report: More Certificate Manager Improvements</title><summary>In the Week 3 report of my GSoC'23 journey at LibreOffice, I made significant improvements to the certificate manager integration and caching. I successfully implemented a patch to hide the certificate manager button when not available, laying the groundwork for future enhancements. Additionally, I worked on certificate caching to optimize access and reduce loading delays. The certificates view was revamped with a user-friendly tree view, simplifying navigation and management. Challenges ahead include further customization of certificate managers, improving the UI for viewing certificates, and completing the certificate caching feature.</summary>

<title>Week 10 11 Report</title><summary>I'm providing an update after 10 weeks working on LibreOffice. I have successfully completed all the requirements I originally proposed related to improving the user interface for digital certificates and signatures. This includes developing a mechanism to remember selected recipients, improving the recipient selection UI, enabling intelligent searching of large keyrings, improving UI latency, and adding filtering for search results. I'm very pleased with the progress made so far. Going forward, I plan to focus on enhancing the documentation for the xmlsecurity module and addressing any bugs related to digital signatures. I'm very grateful to several LibreOffice developers, including Thorsten Behrens, Heiko Tietze, and Hossein Nourikhah, who provided excellent guidance during this project. While I'm sad this journey is nearly over, I achieved my goals and learned a lot along the way. I look forward to continuing to contribute to LibreOffice in the future.</summary>

<title>Final Report</title><summary>The past four months working on LibreOffice for Google Summer of Code 2023 have been an amazing learning experience. With the help of mentors Thorsten, Heiko, and Hossein, I implemented features to improve the user experience around digital signing and encryption like remembering recipients, better recipient selection UI, fast searching/filtering of keys, and documentation. My 12 patches were merged and it was incredible contributing to open source with the friendly LibreOffice community. I look forward to more FOSS contributions in the future!</summary>
