56 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
57 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
59 EVP cipher enhancement.
60 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
61 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
62 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
63 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
64 o Richard is currently working on:
66 Attribute Certificate support
67 Certificate Pair support
68 Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
69 Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
73 o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
74 handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
76 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
78 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
82 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
84 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
85 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
86 src/Configure. It confuses.
87 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
88 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
89 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
90 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
91 which are currently in Configure.
93 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
94 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
95 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
96 solution to be really simple.
98 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
99 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
100 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
102 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
103 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
108 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
109 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
