Todo List
========================================
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.

New Ciphers/Hashes/MACs
----------------------------------------
* GCM-SIV (RFC 8452)
* EME* tweakable block cipher (https://eprint.iacr.org/2004/125)
* PMAC
* SIV-PMAC
* Threefish-1024
* Skein-MAC
* FFX format preserving encryption (NIST 800-38G)
* Adiantum (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720)
* HPKE (draft-irtf-cfrg-hpke)
* Blake3
Improved Ciphers Implementations
----------------------------------------
* Stiched AES/GCM mode for CPUs supporting both AES and CLMUL
* Combine AES-NI, ARMv8 and POWER AES implementations (as already done for CLMUL)
* Support for VAES (Zen4/Ice Lake)
* NEON/VMX support for the SIMD based GHASH
* Vector permute AES only supports little-endian systems; fix for big-endian
* SM4 using AES-NI (https://github.com/mjosaarinen/sm4ni) or vector permute
* Poly1305 using AVX2
* SHA-512 using BMI2+AVX2
* Constant time bitsliced DES
* SIMD evaluation of SHA-2 and SHA-3 compression functions
* Improved Salsa implementations (SIMD_4x32 and/or AVX2)
* Add CLMUL/PMULL implementations for CRC24/CRC32
Public Key Crypto, Math
----------------------------------------
* Short vector optimization for BigInt
* Abstract representation of ECC point elements to allow specific
implementations of the field arithmetic depending upon the curve.
* Curves for pairings (BLS12-381)
* Identity based encryption
* Paillier homomorphic cryptosystem
* New PAKEs (pending CFRG bakeoff results)
* New post quantum schemes (pending NIST contest results)
* SPHINX password store (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/695)
* X448 and Ed448
Utility Functions
------------------
* Make Memory_Pool more concurrent (currently uses a global lock)
* Guarded integer type to prevent overflow bugs
External Providers, Hardware Support
----------------------------------------
* Add support ARMv8.4-A SHA-512, SHA-3, SM3 and RNG
* Aarch64 inline asm for BigInt
* /dev/crypto provider (ciphers, hashes)
* Windows CryptoNG provider (ciphers, hashes)
* Extend Apple CommonCrypto provider (HMAC, CMAC, RSA, ECDSA, ECDH)
* Add support for iOS keychain access
* POWER8 SHA-2 extensions (GH #1486 + #1487)
* Add support VPSUM on big-endian PPC64 (GH #2252)
* Better TPM support: NVRAM, PCR measurements, sealing
* Add support for TPM 2.0 hardware
TLS
----------------------------------------
* Make DTLS support optional at build time
* Improve/optimize DTLS defragmentation and retransmission
* Make RSA optional at build time
* Make finite field DH optional at build time
* Certificate Transparency extensions
* TLS supplemental authorization data (RFC 4680, RFC 5878)
* DTLS-SCTP (RFC 6083)
PKIX
----------------------------------------
* Further tests of validation API (see GH #785)
* Test suite for validation of 'real world' cert chains (GH #611)
* X.509 policy constraints
* OCSP responder logic
New Protocols / Formats
----------------------------------------
* Noise protocol
* ACME protocol
* Cryptographic Message Syntax (RFC 5652)
* Fernet symmetric encryption (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/fernet/)
* RNCryptor format (https://github.com/RNCryptor/RNCryptor)
* Age format (https://age-encryption.org/v1)
* Useful 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 AEAD mode (EAX/OCB).
* Useful OpenPGP subset 2: Process OpenPGP public keys
* Useful OpenPGP subset 3: Verification of OpenPGP signatures
Cleanups
-----------
* Unicode path support on Windows (GH #1615)
* The X.509 path validation tests have much duplicated logic
New C APIs
----------------------------------------
* PKCS10 requests
* Certificate signing
* CRLs
* Expose TLS
* Expose NIST key wrap with padding
* Expose secret sharing
* Expose deterministic PRNG
* base32
* base58
* DL_Group
* EC_Group
Build/Test
----------------------------------------
* Support hardcoding all test vectors into the botan-test binary
so it can run as a standalone item (copied to a device, etc)
* Run iOS binary under simulator in CI
* Run Android binary under simulator in CI
* Run the TPM tests against an emulator
(https://github.com/PeterHuewe/tpm-emulator)
* Add support for vxWorks
CLI
----------------------------------------
* Add a ``--completion`` option to dump autocomplete info, write
support for autocompletion in bash/zsh.
* Refactor ``speed``
* Change `tls_server` to be a tty<->socket app, like `tls_client` is,
instead of a bogus echo server.
* `encrypt` / `decrypt` tools providing password based file encryption
* Add ECM factoring
* Clone of `minisign` signature utility
* Implementation of `tlsdate`
* Password store utility
* TOTP calculator
* Clone of magic wormhole
* ACVP client (https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP)
Documentation
----------------------------------------
* Always needs help
