keys is not possible because changing the key is not possible by the
user.
+ o JOINing to +a (requires passphrase to JOIN) does not work on autojoin.
+ Seems the passwords in the .silc/config has no effect.
+
o Add local commands to list the current server and client public keys
that the user has. And a local command to dump the contents of the
public key to the screen. Something like LISTKEYS, SHOWKEY...
cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
file.
- o The QUIT command should wait for servers disconnection (at least for
- a while) before exiting the application.
-
o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
o Extend the /HELP command to support sub commands or something. So
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
- o The public key authentication is missing for example in OPER and SILCOPER
- commands. See the XXX's in the lib/silcclient/command.c.
+ o Process the NO_SUCH_CLIENT_ID for WHOIS and IDENTIFY, since it can
+ be received for example after sending MSG to non-existent client.
+ It actually should be done always when it is received and the old
+ entry should be removed.
- o The client library must manage somehow when receiving client that has
- same nickname, same server, same username but different Client ID than
- what we have in the cache. It is now assumed that they are different
- client but it might not be. It should at least number the clients
- using the client->num so that they can be accessed from the user
- interface separately or it could just remove the old client unless
- it is on some channels.
+ Doing this now however causes that /msg nick might give "no such nick"
+ for the first time, and then after the entry is removed /msg nick
+ may actually to go any nick client, which is not desired behaviour.
+ The /msg must be fixed to use the specific nickname user typed
+ (nick must not match nick@host).
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- o Incomplete IPv6 support:
+ o Backup router related issues
- o silcd/serverid.c and its routines supports only IPv4.
+ o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
+ switching to backup router on router crash.
- o The backup router support described in the protocol specification
- should be done at some point.
+ 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.
o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
o IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask
format as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
- o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
+ o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
serverconfig.c. They can be defined but they are totally
ignored currently. And they should be redefined also.
+ o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
+ authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
+ be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
+
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o Some ./prepare problems with latest autoconf and automake.
+ o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way
+ than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but
+ is not actually async currently.
+
+ o Do not let the silcdefs.h lay around in distributions.
+
+
+TODO After 1.0
+==============
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
- compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
+ compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
- o All payload parsing (decoding) functions should take unsigned char *
- and uint32 as data and data length as arguments. Now some of the
- routines do already that but most of the routines use SilcBuffer.
- The SilcBuffer ones should be removed since buf->data and buf->len
- is more convenient to use. However, the silc_buffer_[un]format
- routines support only SilcBuffer so they would require reallocation
- of SilcBuffer. Maybe support for raw data (and not just SilcBuffer)
- should be added silc_buffer_[un]format_? routines. These are currently
- only cosmetic changes but at some point must be done to make the
- payload interfaces consistent.
-
- o Incomplete IPv6 support:
-
- o All network routines in lib/silcutil/silcnet.[ch] does not
- support IPv6.
- o silc_id_render supports only IPv4 based ID's in the file
- lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
+ o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
+ lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h.
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.
-
-TODO/Bugs in native WIN32 support (libraries)
-=============================================
-
- o silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way than on
- Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32.
-
-
-TODO In SILC Protocol
-=====================
-
- o If channel founder mode is set and the invite mode is set on channel
- then the founder should be added to the list automatically so that
- if the founder signoff's it will be able join again to the invite only
- channel wihtout being invited.
-
-
-TODO After 1.0
-==============
-
o X.509 certificate support. SILC protocol supports certificates and
it would be great to have support for them. This is a big task as
support has to be made for ASN.1 as well. I've looked into OpenSSL
to start writing one myself. Anyhow, the OpenSSL X.509 lib should
be checked.
- Other package that should be checked is the NSS's X509 library.
+ Other package that should be checked is the NSS's X509 library,
+ which I like more over OpenSSL package.
+
+ o SSH2 public keys support.
- o SSH2 public keys support. Maybe - not really needed but could be
- nice as SSH is widely used all over the place. SILC Protocol
- supports SSH2 public keys.
+ o OpenPGP certificate support.
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
