DEVELOPMENT STATE
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
-
o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
OPEN ISSUES
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)
-
- o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
- totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
- with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
- Net::SSLeay package we can find under
- http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
- longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
- to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
- Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
- us.
-
- Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
- and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
- to date.

WISHES
o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
