-TODO for Irssi SILC Client 1.0
+TODO for 1.2 And Beyond
+=======================
+
+NOTE: Any item that doesn't have (***DONE) in it, isn't done yet. The
+(***TESTING NEEDED) means that the item has been done but not yet properly
+tested.
+
+NOTE: A TODO entry does not mean that it is ever going to be done. Some
+of the entries may be just ideas, good, bad or ugly. If you want to work
+on some of the TODO entries simply let us know about it by dropping a note
+to silc-devel mailing list or appear on 'silc' channel on SILCNet.
+
+
+Crypto Library, lib/silccrypt/
==============================
- o bugs parsing nicknames with @ in NICK_CHANGE.
+ o Add fingerprint to SilcSILCPublicKey and retrieval to silcpk.h, and
+ possibly to silcpkcs.h.
+
+ /* Return fingerprint of the `public_key'. Returns also the algorithm
+ that has been used to make the fingerprint. */
+ const unsigned char *
+ silc_pkcs_get_fingerprint(SilcPublicKey public_key,
+ const char **hash_algorithm,
+ SilcUInt32 *fingerprint_len);
+
+ o Add CMAC and maybe others. Change needs rewrite of the internals of
+ the SILC Mac API, currently it's suitable only for HMACs.
+
+ o Global RNG must be changed to use SILC Global API.
+
+ o Global cipher, hash, mac, and pkcs tables must use SILC Global API.
+
+ o Add FIPS compliant RNG.
+
+ o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
+ lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h. Make sure it is asynchronous so that it can
+ be accelerated. Also take into account that it could use elliptic
+ curves.
+
+ o Add Elgamal.
+
+ o Add ECDSA support.
+
+ o Add ECDH support.
+
+ o Add PKCS#1 RSAES-OAEP and RSASSA-PSS.
+
+ o Add GCM mode.
+
+ o Do GCC vs ICC benchmarks of all key algorithms.
+
+ o Add DSA support to SILC public key.
+
+ o The asynchronous functions to perhaps to _async to preserve backwards
+ compatibility with synchronous versions, and make easier to migrate
+ from 1.1 to 1.2. (***DONE)
+
+ o AES CBC is missing proper alignment code. (***DONE)
+
+ o silc_pkcs_public_key_alloc should accept also SILC_PKCS_ANY as argument
+ and try all supported PKCS until one succeeds. (***DONE)
+
+ o Associate a default hash function with all PKCS algorithms. User can
+ override it in silc_pkcs_sign. DSA with FIPS186-3 determines the
+ hash algorithm by the key length. (***DONE)
+
+ o Document all cipher names, hash names, mac names, pkcs names. (***DONE)
+
+ o SilcHmac must be replaced with generic SilcMac so that we can add
+ others than just HMAC algorithms. Backwards support (via #define's)
+ must be preserved. (***DONE)
+
+ o Change the DSA implementation to support FIPS186-3. This means that
+ the q length is determined by the key length. (***DONE)
+
+ o Add silc_crypto_init and silc_crypto_uninit. The _init should take
+ SilcStack that will act as global memory pool for all of crypto
+ library. It should not be necessary anymore to separately register
+ default ciphers, HMACs, etc, the _init would do that. However, if
+ user after _init calls silc_pkcs_register, for example, it would take
+ preference over the default once, ie. user can always dictate the
+ order of algorithms. (***DONE)
+
+ o Change SILC PKCS API to asynchronous, so that accelerators can be used.
+ All PKCS routines should now take callbacks as argument and they should
+ be delivered to SilcPKCSObject and SilcPKCSAlgorithm too. (***DONE)
+
+ o Change PKCS Algorithm API to take SilcPKCSAlgorithm as argument to
+ encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify functions. We may need to for exmaple
+ check the alg->hash, supported hash functions. Maybe deliver it also
+ to all other functions in SilcPKCSAlgorithm to be consistent. (***DONE)
+
+ o Add DSS support. (***DONE)
+
+ o All cipher, hash, hmac etc. allocation routines should take their name
+ in as const char * not const unsigned char *. (***DONE)
+
+
+SKR Library, lib/silcskr/
+=========================
+
+ o Add fingerprint as search constraint.
+
+ o Add SSH support. (***DONE, TESTING NEEDED)
- o c0ffee's MIME signal
+ o Add OpenPGP support. Adding, removing, fetching PGP keys. (Keyring
+ support?)
- o SILC protocol version 1.2 integration
+ o Add support for importing public keys from a directory and/or from a
+ file. Add support for exporting the repository (different formats for
+ different key types?).
- o Testing - See test plan:
- http://silcnet.org/docs/silc-client-1.0-test.pdf
- http://silcnet.org/docs/silc-client-1.0-test.ps
+ o Add find rule AND and OR. The default is always AND. Add
+ silc_skr_find_set_rule.
+ o Add silc_skr_find_add_search_file that can be used to add a file to
+ search for the public keys. More than one can be set. Add support
+ for searching keys from file.
-TODO for SILC Server 1.0
+ o Add silc_skr_find_add_search_dir that can be used to add a directory to
+ search for the public keys. More than one can be set. Add support
+ for seraching keys from directory.
+
+ o SilcStack to SKR API.
+
+
+SILC Accelerator Library
========================
- o WHOIS search by public key in attrs.
+ o Diffie-Hellman acceleration to SILC Accelerator API.
+
+ o Diffie-Hellman software acceleration.
+
+ o Hardware acceleration through OCF (OCF-Linux,
+ http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net).
+
+ o VIA Padlock support. See http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/ and
+ Gladman's code.
+
+ o Implement GCM software acceleration.
+
+ o Add hash function acceleration to SILC Accelerator API.
+
+ o SILC Accelerator API. Provides generic way to use different kind of
+ accelerators. Basically implements SILC PKCS API so that SilcPublicKey
+ and SilcPrivateKey can be used but they call the accelerators.
+ (***DONE)
+
+ o Implement software accelerator. It is a thread pool system where the
+ public key and private key operations are executed in threads.
+ (***DONE)
+
+ o Add SilcCipher support to SilcAccelerator and software accelerator.
+ Accelerate at least ciphers using CTR mode which can be done in
+ parallel. Do it in producer/consumer fashion where threads generate
+ key stream and other thread(s) encrypt using the key stream. (***DONE)
+
+
+lib/silcmath
+============
+
+ o Prime generation progress using callback instead of printing to
+ stdout.
+
+ o All utility functions should be made non-allocating ones.
+
+ o Import TFM. We want TFM's speed but its memory requirements are
+ just too much. By default it uses large pre-allocated tables which
+ will eat memory when there are thousands of public keys in system.
+ We probably want to change TFM. (***DONE)
+
+ o Add AND, OR and XOR support to TFM. (***DONE)
+
+ o The SILC MP API function must start returning indication of success
+ and failure of the operation. (***DONE)
+
+ o Do SilcStack support for silc_mp_init and other MP function
+ (including utility ones) that may allocate memory. (***DONE)
+
+
+lib/silcasn1
+============
+
+ o Negative integer encoding is missing, add it.
+
+ o SILC_ASN1_CHOICE should perhaps return an index what choice in the
+ choice list was found. Currently it is left for caller to figure out
+ which choice was found. (***DONE)
+
+ o SILC_ASN1_NULL in decoding should return SilcBool whether or not
+ the NULL was present. It's important when it's SILC_ASN1_OPTIONAL
+ and we need to know whether it was present or not. (***DONE)
+
+
+lib/silcpgp
+===========
+
+ o OpenPGP certificate support, allowing the use of PGP public keys and
+ private keys.
+
+ o Signatures for data, public keys and private keys (Signature packet).
+
+ o Signature verification from public keys, private keys and other signed
+ data (Signature packet).
+
+ o Encryption and decryption support (Packet tags 8 and 18 most likely).
+
+ o Retrieval of User ID from public key and private key (Used ID packet
+ and User Attribute packet).
+
+ o Creation of OpenPGP key pairs.
+
+ o Trust packet handling (GNU PG compatible) from public and private keys.
- o Backup router related issues:
+ o Add option that the signature format doesn't use the OpenPGP format
+ but whatever is the default in SILC crypto library.
- o Add special handling in router and server for "connection
- timed out" error. Be optimistic.
- o SILC protocol version 1.2 integration
+lib/silcssh
+===========
- o Testing
+ o Add option that the signature format doesn't use the SSH2 protocol
+ but whatever is the default in SILC crypto library;
+ silc_ssh_private_key_set_signature_type, or something.
+ o SSH2 public key/private key support, allowing the use of SSH2 keys.
+ RFC 4716. (***DONE)
-TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
-===========================
- o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way
- than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but
- is not actually async currently (Fix this to 0.9.x).
+lib/silcpkix
+============
+ o PKIX implementation
-TODO in Toolkit Documentation
-=============================
-Stuff that needs to be done in order to complete the Tooolkit Reference
-Manual (Do these to 0.9.x).
+lib/silccms
+===========
- o Document the "notify" and "command_reply" client operations variable
- argument lists for all possible notify types and command replys.
+ o Cryptographic Message Syntax (RFC 3852), the former PKCS #7
- o Write "Programming with Toolkit" document, describing how to build
- Toolkit, how the build system works, where is everything, how
- new (external) projects can be glued into Toolkit (use irssi as an
- example), and how external projects can use Toolkit without gluing into
- it (how to link etc), debugging, architecture, types, etc.
- o Write "Platform Implementations" document to describe what platforms
- Toolkit support, what has been implemented, what has not been, what
- works differently etc.
+lib/silcsmime
+=============
- o Searching of predefined keywords, exact and partial matches (would be
- nice).
+ o S/MIME (RFC 3851)
