1 Next-Steps Monkeysphere Projects:
2 ---------------------------------
4 Detail advantages of monkeysphere: detail the race conditions in ssh,
5 and how the monkeysphere can help you reduce these threat vectors:
6 threat model reduction diagrams.
8 Handle unverified monkeysphere hosts in such a way that they're not
9 always removed from known_hosts file. Ask user to lsign the host
12 Resolve the bugs listed in openpgp2ssh(1):BUGS.
14 Understand and document the output of gpg --check-trustdb:
15 gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
16 gpg: depth: 0 valid: 2 signed: 20 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 2u
17 gpg: depth: 1 valid: 20 signed: 67 trust: 15-, 0q, 1n, 3m, 1f, 0u
18 gpg: next trustdb check due at 2008-10-09
20 Understand and document the numeric values between sig! and the keyid
21 in "gpg --check-sigs $KEYID" . Compare with the details found from
22 "gpg --with-colons --check-sigs $KEYID". This has to do with trust
25 Fix gpg's documentation to clarify the difference between validity and
26 ownertrust. Include better documentation for trust signatures.
28 Make it easier to do domain-relative ssh host trust signatures with
29 gnupg. (e.g. "i trust Jamie McClelland (keyID 76CC057D) to properly
30 identify ssh servers in the mayfirst.org domain") See:
31 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.2.3.21 and grep for
34 Fix the order of questions when user does a tsign in gpg or gpg2.
36 When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
37 revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
39 File bug against enigmail about lack of ability to create subkeys.
41 Test and document what happens when any filesystem that the
42 monkeysphere-server relies on and modifies (/tmp, /etc, and /var?)
45 Optimize keyserver access, particularly on monkeysphere-server
46 update-users -- is there a way to query the keyserver all in a
49 Think about packaging monkeysphere for other (non-apt-based) operating
50 systems. RPM-based linux systems, FreeBSD ports, and Mac OS X seem
51 like the most likely candidates.
