DEVELOPMENT STATE
o OpenSSL 0.9.7: Under development...
+ o OpenSSL 0.9.6c: Released on December 21st, 2001
o OpenSSL 0.9.6b: Released on July 9th, 2001
o OpenSSL 0.9.6a: Released on April 5th, 2001
o OpenSSL 0.9.6: Released on September 24th, 2000
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 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
NEEDS PATCH
- o 'openssl speed' should include AES support (0.9.7-dev)
+ 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 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
WISHES
+ 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.
