  80   IN PROGRESS
  81
  82     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
  83         ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
  84         OCSP
  85         EVP cipher enhancement.
  86         Enhanced certificate chain verification.
  87         Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
  88         Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
  89         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
  90     o Richard is currently working on:
  91         Constification
  92         Attribute Certificate support
  93         Certificate Pair support
  94         Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
  95         Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
  96
  97   NEEDS PATCH
  98
  99     o  0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
 100        handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
 101
 102     o  apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
 103
 104     o  "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
 105
 106   OPEN ISSUES
 107
 108     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
 109
 110        1. The config vs. Configure scripts
 111           It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
 112           src/Configure. It confuses.
 113           Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
 114                       script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
 115                       Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
 116                       itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
 117                       which are currently in Configure.
 118
 119     o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
 120        for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
 121        Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
 122        solution to be really simple.
 123
 124        Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
 125                compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
 126                into the OpenSSL Configure script.
 127
 128                Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
 129                     which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
 130                     libcrypto)
 131
 132   WISHES
 133
 134     o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
 135        where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
 136        [Gregory Stark <ghstark@pobox.com>, <rayyang2000@yahoo.com>]
 137
 138     o  SRP in TLS.
 139        [wished by:

 144        as well as http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/srp/.
 145
 146        Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at
 147        http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could
 148        be useful.
