+TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
+================================
o Client library crashes if for example server timeouts protocol
execution and disconnects the client. The client, on the other hand
the SilcSocketConnection reference counter at all. This must be
fixed.
- o I guess, public key authentication (when connecting to a server)
- is not working currently. It is just matter of loading the keys
- from file and using them (see corresponding code in server).
-
o Add client library parameters or options that handle what kind of
messages the library should print out (using `say' client operation,
for example) and what is left for the application to print. The
fix it.
-TODO In SILC Server
-===================
-
- o TODO in commands (command.c and command_reply.c):
-
- o RESTART is not implemented
- o In servers all command reply funtions should still call the
- pending command reply even if the reply was error. In client
- it is not called but in server, I think, it must be called.
- When implementing this check that all commands handle the
- situation correctly when it is called as pending command
- (it should most likely check that cmd->pending == TRUE/FALSE).
-
- o TODO in notify types (packet_receive.c):
+TODO/bugs In SILC Server
+========================
- o SERVER_SIGNOFF notify type is not implemented
+ 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
+ the server has been removed.
o Acceptance of incoming connections (client and server connections)
should be checked before key exchange protocol. Currently it is
checked at the authentication phase after KE, that is ok, but it should
- be checked before starting KE, as well.
+ be checked before starting KE, as well. This should be done so that
+ is first checks denied connections, then client connections and then
+ server connections. There is no use to execute the SKE if the connection
+ will not be allowed.
o DNS/IP lookup blocks the server. This must be fixed. Check the
resolver stuff (resolver(3), resolver(5)). Either we have to do the
own resolver stuff (through scheduler, if possible without writing
too much own stuff) or use threads.
- o Packet processing can be made faster. All packet function in the
- packet_receive.c has same prototypes. Instead of calling those from
- huge switch() make a table of callback functions that can be called
- directly by the packet type.
-
o Server says that it is able to listen on multiple ports but currently
that is bogus. It can, but internals are for single server.
as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
o Connection classes should be actually implemented in serverconfig.c.
- They can be defined but they are totally ignored currently.

+===========================
o Implement PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) flag in SKE (and in client and
server, actually). If PFS is set, re-key must cause new key exchange.
not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
- o Rewrite the task system. I made it too complex and too "neat" and
- it really should be rewritten. We don't need priorities really, one
- priority is enough. This will simplify a lot the task system.
-
- o SIM support for SILC PKCS API needs to made so that they could be
- used as SIM's. At the same time some work is required on prime
- generation as the way it is done now sucks. Read from code for
- more (silcpkcs.h).
-
o Random Number Generator needs some tweaking. Reading /dev/random may
block resulting slow initialization of RNG. Some other things in the
RNG may block as well. Also, I have some pending changes to the RNG
that needs to be commited (from Schneier's Yarrow-160 paper). They
should make the RNG even better.
