- RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
-
- o BIGNUM library failures on 64-bit platforms (0.9.7-dev):
- - BN_mod_mul verificiation (bc) fails for solaris64-sparcv9-cc
+ [See also http://www.openssl.org/support/rt2.html]
- Checked on Result
- alpha-cc (Tru64 version 4.0) works
- linux-alpha+bwx-gcc doesn't work. Reported by
- Sean O'Riordain <seanpor@acm.org>
+ RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
- Needs checked on
- [add platforms here]
+ o
AVAILABLE PATCHES
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
functionality that is currently missing).
Shared library support for VMS.
- Kerberos 5 authentication
+ Kerberos 5 authentication (Heimdal)
Constification
- OCSP
NEEDS PATCH
- o An (optional) countermeasure against the predictable-IV CBC
- weakness in SSL/TLS should be added; see
- http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt
-
o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)
-
- o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
- totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
- with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
- Net::SSLeay package we can find under
- http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
- longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
- to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
- Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
- us.
-
- Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
- and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
- to date.

WISHES
o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
