o OpenPGP certificate support, allowing the use of PGP public keys
in SILC.
+ o SILC PKCS (silcpkcs.h) reorganizing when other PK supports added.
+ Move the SILC Public Key routines away from the crypto library into
+ the core library (silccore). silc_pkcs_public/private_key_* routines
+ to silc_public/private_key_* routines. The silc_public_key_* routines
+ should also automatically handle SILC Public Keys, and other keys
+ and certificates as well. Add fe. silcpk.h into silccore. It should
+ also include the Public Key Payload encoding and decoding routines.
+
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
defined.
These naturally cause the overal memory consumption to grow
but would take away many allocations that can be done several
- times in a second.
+ times in a second (see also ~/silcpacket).
o Move the actual file descriptor task callback (the callback that
handles the incoming data, outgoing data etc, that is implemnted
SILC_BUFFER_LEN macro can do the same. These would save
totally 8 bytes of memory per buffer.
- o Scheduler can be optimized for FD tasks by changing the fd_queue
- to SilcHashTable instead of using linked list. We need to do
- one-to-one mapping of FD to task and hash table is more efficient
- for this usage.
-
- Also redefine the silc_select to perhaps return a separate
- structure of the events that actually occurred, instead of
- returning the events in the fd_list which is then traversed
- in the generic code to find the changed events. This can be
- made faster by having own struct which includes only the
- changed events, thus the tarversing is faster since the whole
- fd_list is not traversed anymore (it is still traversed in the
- silc_select but at least it removes one extra tarversing later
- for the same list).
-
- Other task queues should be changed to use SilcList.
-
o Optimizations in Server
o Remove the big switch statement from the function
SIGNOFF of notify at all (using SIGNOFF takes the idea about
SERVER_SIGNOFF away entirely).
+ o Another SERVER_SIGNOFF opt/bugfix: Currently the signoff is
+ sent to a client if it is on same channel as the client that
+ signoffed. However, the entire SERVER_SIGNOFF list is sent to
+ the client, ie. it may receive clients that was not on the
+ same channel. This is actually against the specs. It must be
+ done per channel. It shouldn't receive the whole list just
+ because one client happened to be on same channel.
+
+ o See also ~/silcserver
+
o Add SilcAsyncOperation to utility library. Any function that takes
callback as an argument must/should return SilcAsyncOperation (see
~/silcasync).
o Rewrite SilcProtocol to be SilcFSM (see ~/silcfsm).
- o Change SILC_TASK_CALLBACK to non-static, and remove the macro
- SILC_TASK_CALLBACK_GLOBAL.
+ o Do some scheduler optimizations and interface changes (see
+ ~/silcschedule).
+
+ o Change the lib/silccore/silcpacket.[ch] interfaces (see ~/silcpacket).
+
+ o Add abstract SilcStream and SilcSocketStream (see ~/silcstream).
+
+ o Change some of the SILC Net interfaces (see ~/silcnet).
o Add DSS support.
o SILC RNG does not implement random seed files, and they should be
implemented.
- o Add SILC scheduler's internal routines into a table of implementation
- function pointers, that the generic code then takes as extern from
- implementation. These are the silc_schedule_internal_* routines.
-
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
in separately.
+ o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be
+ enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
+ seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
+ and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because
+ each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
+ to everybody on the channel (Fix this to 0.9.x).
+
o EPOC specific additions/changes required:
- o In lib/silccore/silcpacket.c global RNG is used. Change the
- interface for that function. The PKCS#1 also calls global RNG
- (even though it is not used currently in SILC, the interface
- allows its use).
+ o lib/silcutil/epoc routines missing or not completed.
+
+ o The PKCS#1 also calls global RNG (even though it is not used
+ currently in SILC, the interface allows its use).
o Something needs to be thought to the logging globals as well,
like silc_debug etc. They won't work on EPOC. Perhaps logging
and debugging is to be disabled on EPOC.
+
+ o Check whether we can fully comply with RFC 2779.
+
+ o The CMODE cipher & hmac change problem (#101).
