+ o The SKE protocol in the server does not verify the remote hosts

+   verification - this obviously is not secure.

  o When server quits and all clients of that server are removed from all
    channels the channel keys are re-generated for all clients.  This is
    a bug and should be done only once per channel after all clients of

- o The ID List must be optimized.  When the lists grow the searching
-   becomes a lot slower and is some cases the lists are searched many

  o The backup router support described in the protocol specification
    should be done at some point.

- o Hash tables must be implemented.  The requirement for this is that

+   routines support only SilcBuffer so they would require reallocation

+   only cosmetic changes but at some point must be done to make the
+   payload interfaces consistent.
