Currently it's - totally obsolete.

Currently you have one EVP_CIPHER - structure for each cipher. This may make sense for things like DES but - for variable length ciphers like RC2 and RC4 it is NBG. Need a way to - use the EVP interface and set up the cipher parameters. The ASN1 stuff - is also foo wrt ciphers whose AlgorithmIdentifier has more than just - an IV in it (e.g. RC2, RC5). This also means that EVP_Seal and EVP_Open - don't work unless the key length matches the fixed value (some vendors - use a key length decided by the size of the RSA encrypted key and expect - RC2 to adapt). - - o ERR_error_string(..., buf) does not know how large buf is, - there should be ERR_error_string_n(..., buf, bufsize) - or similar. + o SRP in TLS. + [wished by: + Dj , Tom Wu , + Tom Holroyd ] - WISHES + See http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-srp-00.txt + as well as http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/srp/. - o + Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at + http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could + be useful.
