60 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
61 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
63 EVP cipher enhancement.
64 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
65 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
66 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
67 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
68 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
69 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
70 o Richard is currently working on:
72 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
73 functionality that is currently missing).
74 Shared library support for VMS.
75 Kerberos 5 authentication (Heimdal)
80 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
82 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
86 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
88 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
89 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
90 src/Configure. It confuses.
91 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
92 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
93 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
94 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
95 which are currently in Configure.
97 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
98 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
99 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
100 solution to be really simple.
102 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
103 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
104 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
106 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
107 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
112 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
113 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
