RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
- o BIGNUM library failures on 64-bit platforms (0.9.7-dev):
- - BN_mod_mul verificiation (bc) fails for solaris64-sparcv9-cc
+ o The Makefiles fail with some SysV makes.
+ o
AVAILABLE PATCHES
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
Constification
- OCSP
+ Attribute Certificate support
+ Certificate Pair support
+ Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
+ Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
NEEDS PATCH
- o An (optional) countermeasure against the predictable-IV CBC
- weakness in SSL/TLS should be added; see
- http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt
-
- o All 'openssl' subprograms taking '-des' and '-des3' options should
- include AES support (0.9.7-dev)
-
- o 'openssl speed' should include AES support (0.9.7-dev)
+ 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_0_9_6-stable:
- #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
- e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
-
- o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
- or an error is reported
-
o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
OPEN ISSUES
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

WISHES
o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
