The Toolkit is to be splitted in parts. How many - parts and what the parts are isn't decided yet. Each part is a separate - software package. Current thinking is of the following: - - SILC Toolkit SILC protocol, client and server library - SILC Runtime Toolkit runtime library - SILC Crypto Toolkit crypto, asn1, math, skr, pgp, etc. - - The rationale for this is of course that other than SILC projects - might like to use the various libraries SILC Toolkit provides, but - naturally they don't want the bloat of SILC protocol related stuff. - - The Runtime library in SILC Toolkit is a general purpose runtime library, - like Glib and APR are. The runtime library is to be developed further - to provide alternative to Glib and APR. - - The Crypto library in SILC Toolkit is a general purpose crypto library - providing pretty nice APIs compared to many other crypto libraries, - especially OpenSSL. The Crypto library is to be developed further - to include support for OpenPGP, X.509 and SSH2. - - lib/silccore ============ @@ -90,129 +63,6 @@ lib/silcclient, The Client Library o Ability to recover from rekey errors, at least try to. -Runtime library, lib/silcutil/ -============================== - - o silc_malloc et. al. to respect --with-alignment. - - o Fix universal time decoding (doesn't accept all formats) in silctime.c. - - o Additional scheduler changes: optimize silc_schedule_wakeup. Wakeup - only if the scheduler is actually waiting something. If it is - delivering tasks wakeup is not needed. - - o silc_stringprep to non-allocating version. - - 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 directory opening/traversing functions (***DONE, TODO Windows & Symbian) - - o regex from /lib/contrib to lib/silcutil, define SILC Regex API. (***DONE) - - o Add functions to manipulate environment variables. (***DONE) - - o Add functions to loading shared/dynamic object symbols (replaces the - SIM library (lib/silcsim) and introduces generic library). Add this - to lib/silcutil/silcdll.[ch]. (***TESTING NEEDED WIN32, TODO Symbian) - - o silc_getopt routines (***DONE) - - o The SILC Event signals. Asynchronous events that can be created, - connected to and signalled. Either own event routines or glued into - SilcSchedule. (***DONE) - - o If the event signals are added, the SILC_PARAM_* stuff needs to be - moved from silcbuffmt.h to silctypes.h or something similar. (***DONE) - - o In case the SILC Events are done we shall create a new concept of - parent and child SilcSchedule's. When new SilcSchedule is created a - parent can be associated to it. This association could be done either - directly by the parent or by any other children. This way the signals - would in effect be global and would reach all children schedulers. - - This relationship would be associative only. The schedulers are still - independent and run independently from each other. All schedulers - would be linked and could be accessed from any of the schedulers. - It should be possible to retrieve the parent and enumerate all children - from any of the schedulers. - (***DONE) - - o Base64 to an own API (***DONE) - - o Timer API (***DONE) - - o silc_hash_table_replace -> silc_hash_table_set.

Add this to lib/silcutil/silcthread.[ch]. (***DONE) - - o Add new functions to SilcStack API in lib/silcutil/silcstack.[ch]. Add - silc_stack_[set|get]_alignment. It defines the default alignment used - when allocating memory from stack. It can be used to specify special - alignments too when needed (such as for hardware devices like crypto - accelerators). Move also the low level silc_stack_malloc and - silc_stack_realloc from silcstack_i.h to silcstack.h. Remove the - _ua unaligned memory allocation routines. Remove unaligned memory - allocation possibility. (***DONE) - - o silc_stack_alloc shouldn't require multiple by 8 size argument, it - should figure it out itself. (***DONE) - - o Add '%@' format to silc_snprintf functions. - (***DONE) - - o SILC Tls (Thread-local storage) API to lib/silcutil/silcthread.[ch]. - (***DONE) - - o Change silc_gettimeofday on Unix to use clock_gettime with REALTIME - clock if it is available, otherwise use gettimeofday().

Allows machine readable log - messages. Would allow sending of any kind of data in a log message.) maybe - - (o Change some stream routines (like socket stream API) to accept ANY - stream and use silc_stream_get_root to get the socket stream from the - given stream. This will make various stream APIs more easier to use - when user doesn't have to dig up the correct stream. - - Add silc_stream_get_root and add get_root stream operation. It - returns the root of the stream or NULL if stream doesn't have root.) maybe - - (o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet - compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be - defined.) maybe - - (o SilcIpAddr abstraction. Ipv4 and Ipv6 support to the abstaction.) - maybe - - (o SILC specific socket creation/closing routines to silcnet.h, wrappers - to all send(), recv(), sendto() etc. Bad thing is that we'd have to - define all socket options, sockaddrs, etc.) maybe - - (o Fast mutex implementation.

Remove SilcSKRFind and just simply - add the find constraints as variable argument list to silc_skr_find, eg: - - silc_skr_find(skr, schedule, callback, context, - SILC_SKR_FIND_PUBLIC_KEY, public_key, - SILC_SKR_FIND_COUNTRY, "FI", - SILC_SKR_FIND_USAGE, SILC_SKR_USAGE_AUTH, - SILC_SKR_FIND_END); - - NULL argument would be ignored and skipped. - - o Add OR logical rule in addition of the current default AND, eg: - - // Found key(s) MUST have this public key AND this country. - silc_skr_find(skr, schedule, callback, context, - SILC_SKR_FIND_RULE_AND, - SILC_SKR_FIND_PUBLIC_KEY, public_key, - SILC_SKR_FIND_COUNTRY, "FI", - SILC_SKR_FIND_END); - - // Found key(s) MUST have this public key OR this key context - silc_skr_find(skr, schedule, callback, context, - SILC_SKR_FIND_RULE_OR, - SILC_SKR_FIND_PUBLIC_KEY, public_key, - SILC_SKR_FIND_CONTEXT, key_context, - SILC_SKR_FIND_END); - - o SilcStack to SKR API. - - -Crypto Library, lib/silccrypt/ -============================== - - o Add silc_crypto_init and silc_crypto_uninit. The _init should take - SilcStack that will act as global memory pool for all of crypto - library. It should not be necessary anymore to separately register - default ciphers, HMACs, etc, the _init would do that. However, if - user after _init calls silc_pkcs_register, for example, it would take - preference over the default once, ie. user can always dictate the - order of algorithms.

(***DONE) - - o The asynchronous functions to perhaps to _async to preserve backwards - compatibility with synchronous versions, and make easier to migrate - from 1.1 to 1.2. - - o Change PKCS Algorithm API to take SilcPKCSAlgorithm as argument to - encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify functions. We may need to for exmaple - check the alg->hash, supported hash functions. Maybe deliver it also - to all other functions in SilcPKCSAlgorithm to be consistent. (***DONE) - - o Add DSA support to SILC public key. - - o Add DSS support. (***DONE) - - o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in - lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h. Make sure it is asynchronous so that it can - be accelerated. Also take into account that it could use elliptic - curves. - - o Add ECDSA support. - - o Add ECDH support. - - o AES CBC is missing proper alignment code (see silc_1_1_branch). - - o All cipher, hash, hmac etc. allocation routines should take their name - in as const char * not const unsigned char *. (***DONE) - - -SILC Accelerator Library -======================== - - o SILC Accelerator API. Provides generic way to use different kind of - accelerators. Basically implements SILC PKCS API so that SilcPublicKey - and SilcPrivateKey can be used but they call the accelerators. - (***DONE) - - o Implement software accelerator. It is a thread pool system where the - public key and private key operations are executed in threads. - (***DONE) - - o Add init options to SilcAcceleratorObject as a SilcAcceleratorOption - structure. Each accelerator defines the options that they support and - can be retrieved from the SilcAccelerator with silc_acc_get_options. - The format must also be machine parseable. The structure can be of the - following format: - - typedef struct SilcAcceleratorOptionStruct { - const char *option; /* Option name */ - const char *display_name; /* Option displayable name */ - SilcParamType type; /* Option data format */ - void *default_value; /* Option's default value */ - SilcUInt32 default_value_len; /* Default value length */ - } *SilcAcceleratorOption; - - For software accelerator it could be for example: - - { "min_threads", "Minimum threads", SILC_PARAM_UINT32, (void *)2, 4 }, - { "max_threads", "Maximum threads", SILC_PARAM_UINT32, (void *)4, 4 }, - - o Diffie-Hellman acceleration - - (o Symmetric key cryptosystem acceleration? They are always sycnhronouos - even with hardware acceleration so the crypto API shouldn't require - changes.) maybe - - -lib/silcmath -============ - - o Import TFM. We want TFM's speed but its memory requirements are - just too much. By default it uses large pre-allocated tables which - will eat memory when there are thousands of public keys in system. - We probably want to change TFM's fp_int dynamic so that a specific - size can be allocated for the int. We could have two new functions: - - SilcBool silc_mp_init_size(SilcMPInt *mp, SilcUInt32 bit_size); - SilcBool silc_mp_sinit_size(SilcStack stack, SilcMPInt *mp, - SilcUInt32 bit_size); - - Which by default allocates `bit_size' bits instead of some default - value. silc_mp_init would allocate the default FP_SIZE with TFM - and do normal init with TMA and GMP. _init_size with TMA and GMP - would be same as _init. - - o Add AND, OR and XOR support to TFM or ask Tom to do it. - - o The SILC MP API function must start returning indication of success - and failure of the operation. - - o Do SilcStack support for silc_mp_init, silc_mp_init_size and other - any other MP function (including utility ones) that may allocate - memory. - - o Prime generation progress using callback instead of printing to - stdout. - - o All utility functions should be made non-allocating ones. - - -SILC XML Library, lib/silcxml/ -============================== - - o SILC XML API (wrapper to expat). Look at the expat API and simplify - it. The SILC XML API should have at most 8-10 API functions. It should - be possible to create full XML parser with only one function. And, it - should be possible to have a function that is able to parse an entire - XML document. It should also have a parser function to be able to - parse a stream of XML data (SilcStream). It MUST NOT have operations - that require multiple function calls to be able to execute that one - operation (like creating parser). - - lib/silcske/silcske.[ch] ======================== o Ratelimit to UDP/IP transport for incoming packets. -lib/silcasn1 -============ - - o Negative integer encoding is missing, add it. - - o SILC_ASN1_CHOICE should perhaps return an index what choice in the - choice list was found. Currently it is left for caller to figure out - which choice was found. (***DONE) - - o SILC_ASN1_NULL in decoding should return SilcBool whether or not - the NULL was present. It's important when it's SILC_ASN1_OPTIONAL - and we need to know whether it was present or not.
