Projects
========================================
Feel free to take one of these on if it interests you. Before starting
out on something, send an email to the dev list or open a discussion
ticket on GitHub to make sure you're on the right track.
Request a new feature by opening a pull request to update this file.
Ciphers, Hashes, PBKDF
----------------------------------------
* Bitsliced AES or Camellia
* Compressed tables for AES
* AES using vector permutes for NEON or AltiVec
* Camellia using AES-NI
* Serpent using AVX2 or SSSE3/pshufb
* ChaCha20 using AVX2, NEON
* ARIA block cipher (RFCs 5794 and 6209)
* ASCON 1.2 (CAESAR)
* NORX-64 3.0 (CAESAR)
* scrypt PBKDF
* Argon2 PBKDF (draft-irtf-cfrg-argon2)
* bcrypt PBKDF
* Skein-MAC
* Extend Cascade_Cipher to support arbitrary number of ciphers
Public Key Crypto, Math
----------------------------------------
* XMSS (draft-irtf-cfrg-xmss-hash-based-signatures)
* SPHINCS-256
* EdDSA (GH #283)
* Ed448-Goldilocks
* FHMQV
* Support mixed hashes and non-empty param strings in OAEP
* wNAF ECC point multiply
* Fast new implementations/algorithms for ECC point operations,
Montgomery multiplication, multi-exponentiation, ...
* Some PK operations, especially RSA, have extensive computations per
operation setup but many of the computed values depend only on the
key and could be shared across operation objects.
External Providers, Hardware Support
----------------------------------------
* Extend OpenSSL provider (cipher modes, HMAC, CMAC)
* /dev/crypto provider (ciphers, hashes)
* Windows CryptoAPI provider (ciphers, hashes, RSA)
* Apple CommonCrypto
* ARMv8-A crypto extensions (AES, SHA-2)
* POWER8 crypto extensions (AES, SHA-2)
* Better TPM support: NVRAM, PCR measurements, sealing
TLS
----------------------------------------
* Make DTLS support optional at build time
* Make TLS v1.0 and v1.1 optional at build time
* Make finite field DH optional at build time
* Curve25519 key exchange
* NEWHOPE (CECPQ1) key exchange (GH #613)
* TLS OCSP stapling (RFC 6066)
* Encrypt-then-MAC extension (RFC 7366)
* Authentication using TOFU (sqlite3 storage)
* Certificate pinning (using TACK?)
* TLS supplemental authorization data (RFC 4680, RFC 5878)
* OpenPGP authentication (RFC 5081)
* DTLS-SCTP (RFC 6083)
* Perspectives (http://perspectives-project.org/)
* Support for server key stored in TPM
PKIX
----------------------------------------
* Test suite for validation of 'real world' cert chains (GH #611)
* Support multiple DNS names in certificates
* X.509 policy constraints
* OCSP responder logic
* X.509 attribute certificates (RFC 5755)
New Protocols / Formats
----------------------------------------
* NaCl compatible cryptobox functions
* Off-The-Record v3 https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/
* Some useful subset of OpenPGP
- Subset #1: symmetrically encrypted files
Not aiming to process arbitrary OpenPGP, but rather produce
something that happens to be readable by `gpg` and is relatively
simple to process for decryption. Require a 128-bit block cipher
and MDC packet.
- Subset #2: Process OpenPGP public keys
- Subset #3: Verification of OpenPGP signatures
Compat Headers
----------------
* Write an OpenSSL-compatible TLS API stub so existing applications
can be converted more easily. Would require some networking code
since the OpenSSL API handles both crypto and IO. Use Asio, since it
is expected to be the base of future C++ standard network library.
FFI (Python, OCaml)
----------------------------------------
* Expose certificates
* Expose TLS
* Write a CLI or HTTPS client in Python
Library Infrastructure
----------------------------------------
* Add logging callbacks
* Add latency tracing framework
Build/Test
----------------------------------------
* Code signing for Windows installers
* Test runner python script that captures backtraces and other
debug info during CI
CLI
----------------------------------------
* Rewrite `tls_client` and `tls_server` to use asio. See `tls_proxy`
for an example
* `encrypt` / `decrypt` tools providing password and/or public key
based file encryption
* Make help output more helpful
* More microbenchmarks in `speed`: modular exponentiation, ECC point
multiplication, other BigInt operations
* Compute cycles/byte estimates for benchmark output
Documentation
----------------------------------------
* TPM (no docs)
* PKCS #11 (no docs)
* X.509 certs, path validation
* Specific docs covering one major topic (RSA, ECDSA, AES/GCM, ...)
* Some howto style docs (setting up CA, ...)
