  73   IN PROGRESS
  74
  75     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
  76         ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
  77         OCSP
  78         EVP cipher enhancement.
  79         Enhanced certificate chain verification.
  80         Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
  81         Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
  82         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
  83     o Richard is currently working on:
  84         Constification
  85         Attribute Certificate support
  86         Certificate Pair support
  87         Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
  88         Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
  89
  90   NEEDS PATCH
  91
  92     o  0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
  93        handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
  94
  95     o  apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
  96
  97     o  "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
  98
  99   OPEN ISSUES
 100
 101     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
 102
 103        1. The config vs. Configure scripts
 104           It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
 105           src/Configure. It confuses.
 106           Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
 107                       script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
 108                       Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
 109                       itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
 110                       which are currently in Configure.
 111
 112     o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
 113        for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
 114        Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
 115        solution to be really simple.
 116
 117        Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
 118                compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
 119                into the OpenSSL Configure script.
 120
 121                Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
 122                     which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
 123                     libcrypto)
 124
 125   WISHES
 126
 127     o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
 128        where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
 129        [Gregory Stark <ghstark@pobox.com>, <rayyang2000@yahoo.com>]
 130
 131     o  SRP in TLS.

 138
 139        Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at
 140        http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could
 141        be useful.
