AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o
+ o IA-64 (a.k.a. Intel Itanium) public-key operation performance
+ patch for Linux is available for download at
+ http://www.openssl.org/~appro/096b.linux-ia64.diff. As URL
+ suggests the patch is relative to OpenSSL 0.9.6b.
IN PROGRESS
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 #include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
+ 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.
- (This applies to openssl-0.9.6-stable too; openssl/conf.h is the
- offending header file. While it is rarely used itself by applications,
- it is included by openssl/x509v3.h, which is more likely to be used.)
-
o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
or an error is reported
WISHES

+ o SRP in TLS.
+ [wished by:

+ 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.
