Bugs
----
* clearsig: keep lineendings as they are. Remember that trailings
blanks are not hashed. Funny: pgp263in works fine even with
a source file with CR,LF but GnuPG and pgp263in has problems
if the clearsign has been created by pgp263ia.
Needs more investigation - anyone?
* clearsign bug Greg Troxel Jan 11.
* README does not verify okay. verify inserts an extra CR,LF
just before "Esoteric Command" (after ~8k of text).
* Did I add -lsocket and -lnls for Solaris?
Important
----------
* replace gettext by a non exploitable one.
* Check revocation and expire stuff. PLEASE: THIS MUST BE TESTED!
* Check calculation of key validity. PLEASE: IT IS IMPORTED THAT
THIS GET TESTED.
* See why we always get this "Hmmm public key lost"
* print a warning when a revoked/expired secret key is used.
Needed
------
* encrypttoself, damit keine Angabe von -r immer noch zu einer
abfrage führt.
* remove more "Fixmes"
* Replace Blowfish by Twofish and add the new encrypted packet type
which has a MACing option (append SHA1 hash to the plaintext and
encrypt this all) - We need an identifier for Twofish to put this
one into the cipher preferences.
* The -export-dynamic flag to ld works only for FreeBSD 3.0. It does
not exist on FreeBSD's 2.2.x version of ld.
Also, on my FreeBSD 2.2-stable box, i simply removed the
-Wl,-export-dynamic flag from my Makefile and it linked and seems to
be working OK so far.
* Use capabilities if available.
Minor Bugs
----------
* There is a race condition which leaves lock files after process
termination (a signal while in make_dotlock). Change the dotlock
implementaion to a create handle, make and release implemenation
and use an atexit to cleanup all pending locks. This is also
faster.
Nice to have
------------
* preferences of hash algorithms are not yet used.
* new menu to delete signatures and list signature in menu
* Replace the SIGUSR1 stuff by semaphores to avoid loss of a signal.
or use POSIX.4 realtime signals.
* add test cases for invalid data (scrambled armor or other random data)
* add checking of armor trailers
* Burn the buffers used by fopen(), or use read(2). Does this
really make sense?
* change the fake_data stuff to mpi_set_opaque
* How about letting something like 'gpg --version -v', list the
effective options. Too much work.
* Stats about used random numbers.
