RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o shared libraries <behnke@trustcenter.de>
o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
+ ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+ EVP cipher enhancement.
Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
- Documentation for the openssl utility.
+ o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
+ ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
+ o Richard is currently working on:
+ UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
+ functionality that is currently missing).
+ Dynamic thread-lock support.
+ Shared library support for VMS.
NEEDS PATCH
to date.
Paul +1
- o The EVP and ASN1 stuff is a mess. 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.
