strongSwan - Roadmap
-------------------------
These notes mostly belong to charon, the new IKEv2 daemon. The plan is to
migrate IKEv1 into charon. It's hard to say how much effort is needed to
do that, and how much code we can reuse from pluto. But a port IS necessary to
gain hassle-free confiugration, version negotiation and maintainability.
Roadmap for 2007
================
Jan ! - first stable release of the strongSwan 4.x branch
!
Feb ! - refactoring of exchange handling for better code sharing,
! we need to separate specific tasks to reuse them in multiple
! exchanges
! - merge of EAP authentication code / plugin loader
! - merge of the virtual IP support currently in the pipeline
! - merge of the experimental "mediated double-NAT" support
! - write an IETF draft for this feature
!
Mar ! - interface in charon for the new SMP management interface
! - full certificate support
! - Cookie support, other fixes to mature against DoS
!
Apr ! - start porting efforts of IKEv1 into charon
! - support of IKEv1 messages and payloads in charon
!
May ! - migration of plutos state machine into charon
!
Jun ! - get a useable IKEv1 implementation for simple cases

TODO-List
=========
A set of TODOs. This is only a list of things I write down to not forget them.
Watch out for TODOs in the code.
Build system
------------
- configure flag which allows to ommit vendor id in pluto
- reduce printf handlers count to 10, as uClibc does not support more
Denail of service
-----------------
- Cookie support
- thread exhaustion (multiple messages to a single IKE_SA)
Certificate support
-------------------
- New trustchain mechanism?
- proper CERTREQ support
- proper handling of multiple certificate payloads (import order)
- synchronized CRL fetcher
- OCSP support
- Smartcard interface
- Attribute certificates
Stroke interface
----------------
- add a Rekey-Counter for SAs in "statusall"
- ipsec statusall bytecount
- detach console after first keyingtry
- proper handling of CTRL+C console detach (SIG_PIPE)
Misc
----
- retry transaction on failure while keyingtries > 1
