  70   IN PROGRESS
  71
  72     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
  73         ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
  74         OCSP
  75         EVP cipher enhancement.
  76         Enhanced certificate chain verification.
  77         Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
  78         Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
  79         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
  80     o Richard is currently working on:
  81         Constification
  82         Attribute Certificate support
  83         Certificate Pair support
  84         Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
  85         Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
  86
  87   NEEDS PATCH
  88
  89     o  0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
  90        handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
  91
  92     o  apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
  93
  94     o  "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
  95
  96   OPEN ISSUES
  97
  98     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
  99
 100        1. The config vs. Configure scripts
 101           It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
 102           src/Configure. It confuses.
 103           Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
 104                       script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
 105                       Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
 106                       itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
 107                       which are currently in Configure.
 108
 109     o  Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
 110        for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
 111        Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
 112        solution to be really simple.
 113
 114        Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
 115                compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
 116                into the OpenSSL Configure script.
 117
 118                Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
 119                     which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
 120                     libcrypto)
 121
 122   WISHES
 123
 124     o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
 125        where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
 126        [Gregory Stark <ghstark@pobox.com>, <rayyang2000@yahoo.com>]
 127
 128     o  SRP in TLS.
 129        [wished by:
 130         Dj <derek@yo.net>, Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>,
 131         Tom Holroyd <tomh@po.crl.go.jp>]

 134        as well as http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/srp/.
 135
 136        Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at
 137        http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could
 138        be useful.
