+ RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
+
+ 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 Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
+ ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
+ o Richard is currently working on:
+ UI (User Interface)
+ UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
+ functionality that is currently missing).
+ Shared library support for VMS.
+ Kerberos 5 authentication (Heimdal)
+ Constification
+
+ NEEDS PATCH
+
+ 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.
