1 TODO/bugs in Irssi SILC client
2 ==============================
4 o Setting /away prints server/router operator modes as well.
5 Print modes that was just set only.
7 o Add local command to switch the channel's private key when channel has
8 several private keys. Currently sending channel messages with many
9 keys is not possible because changing the key is not possible by the
12 o JOINing to +a (requires passphrase to JOIN) does not work on autojoin.
13 Seems the passwords in the .silc/config has no effect.
15 o Add local commands to list the current server and client public keys
16 that the user has. And a local command to dump the contents of the
17 public key to the screen. Something like LISTKEYS, SHOWKEY...
19 o We should get rid of the clientconfig.[ch] in Irssi SILC and move the
20 cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
23 o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
25 o Extend the /HELP command to support sub commands or something. So
26 that user can say /help set mutual_authentication they would get
27 help of the mutual_authentication setting.
29 o Set different kind of settings, like, /set mutual_authentication,
30 /set key_exchange_timeout, /set conn_auth_timeout etc etc.
33 TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
34 ================================
39 TODO/bugs In SILC Server
40 ========================
42 o Make the silc_server_command_pending_error_check function to
43 take all arguments it received and put them to the reply it is
44 sending. Otherwise for example WHOIS on normal server for bogus
45 nickname does not print anything in the client.
47 o Backup router related issues
49 o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
50 switching to backup router on router crash.
52 o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be
53 enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
54 seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
55 and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because
56 each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
57 to everybody on the channel.
59 o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
60 done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
61 tasks relates closely to this as well and must be done at the same time
62 when adding the new config file format:
64 o Server says that it is able to listen on multiple ports but
65 currently that is bogus. It can, but internals are for single
68 o Protocol execution timeouts are hard coded, should be
71 o IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask
72 format as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
74 o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
75 serverconfig.c. They can be defined but they are totally
76 ignored currently. And they should be redefined also.
78 o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
79 authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
80 be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
83 TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
84 ===========================
86 o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way
87 than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but
88 is not actually async currently.
94 o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
95 compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
96 defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
97 not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
98 tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
100 o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
101 lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h.
103 o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
104 SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
107 o X.509 certificate support. SILC protocol supports certificates and
108 it would be great to have support for them. This is a big task as
109 support has to be made for ASN.1 as well. I've looked into OpenSSL
110 package as it has X.509 certificate support (and ASN.1 as well).
111 The code does not look very good to my eye but it has some potentials.
112 This should be looked at more closely.
114 Naturally own SILC Certificate API has to be defined regardles what
115 the actual X.509 library is (OpenSSL X.509 or something else). Other
116 choice is to write own X.509 library but I'm not going to do it -
117 I can help to migrate the OpenSSL X.509 into SILC and I can help if
118 someone would like to write the X.509 library - but I'm not going
119 to start writing one myself. Anyhow, the OpenSSL X.509 lib should
122 Other package that should be checked is the NSS's X509 library,
123 which I like more over OpenSSL package.
125 o SSH2 public keys support.
127 o OpenPGP certificate support.
129 o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
