AVAILABLE PATCHES
|

|
|
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
|
|
Compression
|
|
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.

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.
