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