120 lib/silcsftp ****DONE****
123 o Porting to use the new util library. (***DONE)
128 lib/silccore/silcpacket.[ch] ****PARTLY DONE****
129 ============================
131 o SilcPacketEngine. (***DONE)
133 o New SILC Packet API. (***DONE)
135 o Implement silc_packet_engine_stop and silc_packet_stream_destroy. (***DONE)
137 o IV Included flag support, UDP transport support (***TESTING NEEDED)
139 o SILC_PACKET_FLAG_ACK support. Implement ACK packet and packet payload.
142 lib/silccore/silcid.[ch] ****DONE****
143 ========================
145 o Add silc_id_str2id to accept the destination buffer as argument
146 and thus not require any memory allocation. Same will happen
147 with silc_id_payload_* functions. (***DONE)
149 o silc_id_str2id, silc_id2str to non-allocating routines. (***DONE)
152 lib/silcskr ****PARTLY DONE****
155 o Removing key from the repository is not possible currently. It should
158 o Add fingerprint as search constraint. (1.2)
161 lib/silcske/silcske.[ch] ***PARTLY DONE****
162 ========================
164 o Responder rekey (***TESTING NEEDED)
166 o IV Included flag support in SKE (***DONE)
168 o UDP transport changes; retransmission support by using exponential
169 backoff algorithm. (***DONE)
171 o SilcConnAuth header file documentation. (***DONE)
173 o Ratelimit to UDP/IP transport for incoming packets. (1.2)
176 lib/silccrypt ****PARTLY DONE****
179 o Implement PKCS #1 sign/verify with hash OID. (***TESTING NEEDED)
181 o Implement SILC Public Key Version 2 handling in sign/verify. Implement
182 Version (V) identifier (***DONE)
184 o Add fingerprint to SilcSILCPublicKey and retrieval to silcpk.h.
186 o SILC PKCS (silcpkcs.h) reorganizing when other PK supports added.
187 Move the SILC Public Key routines away from the crypto library into
188 the core library (silccore). silc_pkcs_public/private_key_* routines
189 to silc_public/private_key_* routines. The silc_public_key_* routines
190 should also automatically handle SILC Public Keys, and other keys
191 and certificates as well. Add fe. silcpk.h into silccore. It should
192 also include the Public Key Payload encoding and decoding routines.
195 o Assembler AES (***DONE)
197 o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
198 lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h. (1.2)
200 o SSH2 public keys support, allowing the use of SSH2 public keys in
203 o Add DSS support (1.2)
205 o ECDSA and ECDH (1.2)
208 lib/silcutil ****PARTLY DONE****
211 o The regex code from lib/contrib might compile fine on all platforms.
212 No need to make it silcutil/unix/ specific. Add them to generic
213 silcutil.c. (***TESTNG NEEDED)
215 o silc_stringprep to non-allocating version.
217 o bool -> SilcBool (***DONE)
219 o Silc FD Stream to WIN32 (lib/silcutil/silcfdstream.h)
221 o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
222 SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
225 o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
226 compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
230 lib/silcutil/silcbuffer.h ****DONE****
231 =========================
233 o Remove the `truelen' field from SilcBuffer as it is entirely
234 redundant since we can get the true length of the buffer by
235 doing buffer->end - buffer->header. Add silc_buffer_truelen
236 macro instead. Consider also removing `len' field too since
237 it effectively is buffer->tail - buffer->data, and adding
238 silc_buffer_len macro can do the same. These would save
239 totally 8 bytes of memory per buffer. (***DONE)
242 lib/silcutil/silcbuffmt.[ch] ****DONE****
243 ============================
245 o SilcStack aware silc_buffer_unformat (***DONE)
247 o SilcStack aware silc_buffer_format (***DONE)
249 o silc_buffer_format reallocates automatically (***DONE)
251 o SILC_STR_OFFSET (***DONE)
254 lib/silcutil/silcstack.[ch] ****DONE****
255 ===========================
257 o Data stack implementation (***DONE)
260 lib/silcutil/silcstream.[ch] ****DONE****
261 ============================
263 o Add abstract SilcStream. (***DONE)
266 lib/silcutil/silcsocketstream.[ch] ****PARTY DONE****
267 ==================================
269 o Add SilcSocketStream (***DONE)
271 o Add SilcSocketStream for WIN32 (***TESTING NEEDED)
273 o Test QoS after the changes made to socket stream
276 lib/silcutil/silcschedule*.[ch] ****PARTLY DONE****
277 ===============================
279 o Scheduler can be optimized for FD tasks by changing the fd_queue
280 to SilcHashTable instead of using linked list. We need to do
281 one-to-one mapping of FD to task and hash table is more efficient
284 Also redefine the silc_select to perhaps return a separate
285 structure of the events that actually occurred, instead of
286 returning the events in the fd_list which is then traversed
287 in the generic code to find the changed events. This can be
288 made faster by having own struct which includes only the
289 changed events, thus the tarversing is faster since the whole
290 fd_list is not traversed anymore (it is still traversed in the
291 silc_select but at least it removes one extra tarversing later
294 Other task queues should be changed to use SilcList. (***DONE)
296 o Add SILC scheduler's internal routines into a table of implementation
297 function pointers, that the generic code then takes as extern from
298 implementation. These are the silc_schedule_internal_* routines.
301 o Change SILC_TASK_CALLBACK to non-static, and remove the macro
302 SILC_TASK_CALLBACK_GLOBAL. (***DONE)
304 o SILC Schedule API changes to WIN32. (***TESTING NEEDED)
307 lib/silcutil/silcasync.[ch] ****DONE****
308 ===========================
310 o Add SilcAsyncOperation to utility library. Any function that takes
311 callback as an argument must/should return SilcAsyncOperation.
315 lib/silcutil/silctime.[ch] ****PARTLY DONE****
316 ===========================
318 o SilcTime. (***DONE)
320 o system time, universal, generalized. (***DONE)
322 o Fix universal time decoding (doesn't accept all forms) in silctime.c.
325 lib/silcutil/silcfsm.[ch] ****DONE****
326 =========================
328 o SILC Finite State Machine API. Replaces SILC Protocol API (***DONE)
331 lib/silcutil/silcnet*, lib/silcutil/*/silc*net* ****PARTLY DONE****
332 ===============================================
334 o Add UDP interface (***DONE)
336 o Add UDP interface for WIN32 (***TESTING NEEDED)
338 o New network interfaces (***DONE)
344 o Import TFM. Talk to Tom to add the missing functions. Use TFM in
345 client and client library, but TMA in server, due to the significantly
346 increased memory consumption with TFM, and the rare need for public
347 key operations in server.
349 o Change LTM and TFM function names when importing to SILC tree to avoid
350 rare linking problems on system that has same named symbols already in
353 o The SILC MP API function must start returning indication of success
354 and failure of the operation.
356 o Do SilcStack support for silc_mp_init, silc_mp_init_size and other
357 any other MP function (including utility ones) that may allocate
362 o All utility functions should be made non-allocating ones.
365 lib/silcutil/symbian/ ****PARTLY DONE****
366 =====================
368 o lib/silcutil/symbian routines missing or not completed.
371 o Something needs to be thought to the logging globals as well,
372 like silc_debug etc. They won't work on EPOC. Perhaps logging
373 and debugging is to be disabled on EPOC.
376 lib/silcasn1 ****PARTLY DONE****
379 o ASN.1 library (***DONE)
381 o Header documentation missing. (***DONE)
383 o Some string encodings missing (copy/paste matter). (***DONE)
385 o Negative integer encoding
391 o All payload encoding routines should take SilcStack as argument. (1.2)
393 o All payload test routines into lib/silccore/tests/.
399 o PKIX implementation
405 o OpenPGP certificate support, allowing the use of PGP public keys
412 o (Re)write commands/command replys.
414 o (Re)write notify handling.
416 o The SERVER_SIGNOFF notify handing is not optimal, because it'll
417 cause sending of multiple SIGNOFF notify's instead of the one
418 SERVER_SIGNOFF notify that the server received. This should be
419 optimized so that the only SERVER_SIGNOFF is sent and not
420 SIGNOFF of notify at all (using SIGNOFF takes the idea about
421 SERVER_SIGNOFF away entirely).
423 o Another SERVER_SIGNOFF opt/bugfix: Currently the signoff is
424 sent to a client if it is on same channel as the client that
425 signoffed. However, the entire SERVER_SIGNOFF list is sent to
426 the client, ie. it may receive clients that was not on the
427 same channel. This is actually against the specs. It must be
428 done per channel. It shouldn't receive the whole list just
429 because one client happened to be on same channel.
431 o MAYBE: The SilcChannelClientEntry can be:
435 where address is SilcClientEntry address XOR SilcChannelEntry.
436 You can get SilcClientEntry by doing client = chl->address XOR channel,
437 and SilcChannelEntry by doing channel = chl->address XOR client.
438 As long as the other pointer is always available when accessing the
439 structure this can be done.
441 o Add reference counters to all Silc*Entry structures
443 o SERVICEs support (plugin, SIM)
445 o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
446 authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
447 be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
449 o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be
450 enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
451 seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
452 and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because
453 each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
454 to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 0.9.x).
456 o Related to above. If multiple JOINs are received in sequence perhaps
457 new key should be created only once, if the JOINs are handeled at the same
458 time. Now we create multiple keys and never end up using them because
459 many JOINs are processed at the same time in sequence. Only the last
460 key ends up being used.
462 o The CMODE cipher & hmac change problem (#101).
