AVAILABLE PATCHES
|
|
|

o shared libraries <behnke@trustcenter.de>
|
|
o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
|
|
|
|
IN PROGRESS
|
|
|
|
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
|
|
Proper (or at least usable) 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.
|
|
Documentation for the openssl utility.
|
|
|
|
NEEDS PATCH
|
|
|
|
o non-blocking socket on AIX
|
|
o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
|
|
o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
|
|
|
|
OPEN ISSUES
|
|
|
|
o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
|
|
CA flag ...)
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
|
|
o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
|
|
totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
|
|
with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
|
|
Net::SSLeay package we can find under
|
|
http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
|
|
longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
|
|
to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
|
|
Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
|
|
us.
|
|
|
|
Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
|
|
and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
|
|
to date.
|
|
Paul +1
|
|
|
|
o The EVP and ASN1 stuff is a mess. Currently you have one EVP_CIPHER
|
|
structure for each cipher. This may make sense for things like DES but
|
|
for variable length ciphers like RC2 and RC4 it is NBG. Need a way to
|
|
use the EVP interface and set up the cipher parameters. The ASN1 stuff
|
|
is also foo wrt ciphers whose AlgorithmIdentifier has more than just
|
|
an IV in it (e.g. RC2, RC5). This also means that EVP_Seal and EVP_Open
|
|
don't work unless the key length matches the fixed value (some vendors
|
|
use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect
|
|
RC2 to adapt).
|
|
|
|
o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is,
|
|
there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize)
|
|
or similar.
