AVAILABLE PATCHES
+ o
+
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
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.
- OCSP
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification
+ OCSP
NEEDS PATCH
- o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+ 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 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 'openssl speed' should include AES support (0.9.7-dev)
+
+ o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
or an error is reported
- OPEN ISSUES
+ o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
- o crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
- with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
- CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
- The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
- to offer.
+ OPEN ISSUES
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
WISHES
- o
+ 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.
