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.

34 ================================
39 TODO/bugs In SILC Server
40 ========================
42 o The LIST command reply should empty the global list because
43 it is possible there stay channels that does not exist anymore.
44 Empty it and put channels that server does not know about to
47 o Make the silc_server_command_pending_error_check function to
48 take all arguments it received and put them to the reply it is
49 sending. Otherwise for example WHOIS on normal server for bogus
50 nickname does not print anything in the client.
52 o Backup router related issues
54 o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
55 switching to backup router on router crash.
57 o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be
58 enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
59 seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
60 and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because
61 each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
62 to everybody on the channel.
64 o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
65 done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
66 tasks relates closely to this as well and must be done at the same time
67 when adding the new config file format:
69 o Server says that it is able to listen on multiple ports but
70 currently that is bogus. It can, but internals are for single
73 o Protocol execution timeouts are hard coded, should be
76 o IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask
77 format as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
79 o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
80 serverconfig.c. They can be defined but they are totally
81 ignored currently. And they should be redefined also.
83 o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
84 authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
85 be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
88 TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
89 ===========================
91 o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way
92 than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but
93 is not actually async currently.
99 o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
100 compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
101 defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
102 not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
103 tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
105 o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
106 lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h.
108 o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
109 SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
112 o X.509 certificate support. SILC protocol supports certificates and
113 it would be great to have support for them. This is a big task as
114 support has to be made for ASN.1 as well. I've looked into OpenSSL
115 package as it has X.509 certificate support (and ASN.1 as well).
116 The code does not look very good to my eye but it has some potentials.
117 This should be looked at more closely.
119 Naturally own SILC Certificate API has to be defined regardles what
120 the actual X.509 library is (OpenSSL X.509 or something else). Other
121 choice is to write own X.509 library but I'm not going to do it -
122 I can help to migrate the OpenSSL X.509 into SILC and I can help if
123 someone would like to write the X.509 library - but I'm not going
124 to start writing one myself. Anyhow, the OpenSSL X.509 lib should
127 Other package that should be checked is the NSS's X509 library,
128 which I like more over OpenSSL package.
130 o SSH2 public keys support.
132 o OpenPGP certificate support.
134 o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
