RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
o The Makefiles fail with some SysV makes.
o
AVAILABLE PATCHES
o
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Richard is currently working on:
Constification
Attribute Certificate support
Certificate Pair support
Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
NEEDS PATCH
o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
OPEN ISSUES
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
1. The config vs. Configure scripts
It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
src/Configure. It confuses.
Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
which are currently in Configure.
o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
solution to be really simple.
Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
into the OpenSSL Configure script.
Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)
WISHES
o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
[Gregory Stark <ghstark@pobox.com>, <rayyang2000@yahoo.com>]
o SRP in TLS.
[wished by:
Dj <derek@yo.net>, Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>,
Tom Holroyd <tomh@po.crl.go.jp>]
See http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-srp-00.txt
as well as http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/srp/.
Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at
http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could
be useful.
