RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
-
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 Richard is currently working on:
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.
+ OCSP
+ Kerberos 5 authentication
+ Constification
NEEDS PATCH
- o non-blocking socket on AIX
- o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
- o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+ 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
OPEN ISSUES
- o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
- CA flag ...)
+ 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.
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
WISHES
- o
+ o SRP in TLS.
+ See http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-srp-00.txt
+ as well as http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/srp/.
+ [wished by Dj <derek@yo.net> and Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>]
