RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
+ o BIGNUM library failures on 64-bit platforms (0.9.7-dev):
+ - BN_mod_mul verificiation (bc) fails for solaris64-sparcv9-cc
+
+ Checked on Result
+ alpha-cc (Tru64 version 4.0) works
+ linux-alpha+bwx-gcc doesn't work. Reported by
+ Sean O'Riordain <seanpor@acm.org>
+
+ Needs checked on
+ [add platforms here]
+
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
+ o
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+ OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
- Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
+ 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).
- Dynamic thread-lock support.
Shared library support for VMS.
+ Kerberos 5 authentication
+ Constification
+ OCSP
NEEDS PATCH
- o non-blocking socket on AIX
- o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
- o "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
- OPEN ISSUES
+ 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 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 internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
- CA flag ...)
+ 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
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.
