46 o BN_mod_mul verification fails for mips3-sgi-irix
47 unless configured with no-asm
50 PR 343 mentions that scrubbing memory with 'memset(ptr, 0, n)' may
51 be optimized away in modern compilers. This is definitely not good
52 and needs to be fixed immediately. The formula to use is presented
55 http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/82/297918/2002-10-27/2002-11-02/0
57 The problem report that mentions this is:

67 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
68 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
70 EVP cipher enhancement.
71 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
72 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
73 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
74 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
75 o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
76 ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
77 o Richard is currently working on:
79 UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
80 functionality that is currently missing).
81 Shared library support for VMS.
82 Kerberos 5 authentication (Heimdal)
87 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
89 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
93 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
95 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
96 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
97 src/Configure. It confuses.
98 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
99 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
100 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
101 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
102 which are currently in Configure.
104 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
105 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
106 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
107 solution to be really simple.
109 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
110 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
111 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
113 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
114 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
119 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
120 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
