Detail advantages of monkeysphere: detail the race conditions in ssh,
and how the monkeysphere can help you reduce these threat vectors:
- threat model reduction diagrams
+ threat model reduction diagrams.
-Determine how openssh handles multiple processes writing to
- known_hosts file (atomic appends?)
+Handle unverified monkeysphere hosts in such a way that they're not
+ always removed from known_hosts file. Ask user to lsign the host
+ key?
-Handle unknown hosts in such a way that they're not always removed
- from known_hosts file. Ask user to lsign the host key?
+Work out the details (and describe a full use case) for assigning a
+ REVOKER during monkeysphere-server gen_key -- how is this set? How
+ do we export it so it's available when a second-party revocation is
+ needed?
-Handle multiple multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when
- generating host keys with gen-key.
+Actually enable server hostkey publication.
-Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
+Streamline host key generation, publication, verification. See
+ doc/george/host-key-publication for what dkg went through on
+ 2008-06-19
+
+Ensure that authorized_user_ids are under as tight control as ssh
+ expects from authorized_keys: we don't want monkeysphere to be a
+ weak link in the filesystem.
-Add environment variables sections to man pages.
+Consider the default permissions for
+ /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/* (and indeed the whole
+ directory path leading up to that)
+
+Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
Script to import private key into ssh agent.
Make sure onak properly escapes user IDs with colons in them.
-Build a decent, presentable web site for documentation, evangelism,
- etc. Include a mention of how to report trouble or concerns.
+Indicate on web site how to report trouble or concerns, and how to
+ join the project.
+
+Clean up the style for the web site (pages, icons, etc).
Create ssh2openpgp or convert to full-fledged keytrans.
"tsign" in gpg(1).
Fix the order of questions when user does a tsign in gpg or gpg2.
+
+File bug against ssh-keygen about how "-R" option removes comments
+ from known_hosts file.
+
+File bug against ssh-keygen to see if we can get it to write to hash a
+ known_hosts file to/from stdout/stdin.
+
+When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
+ revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
+
+File bug against seahorse about how, when creating new primary keys,
+ it presents option for "RSA (sign only)" but then creates an "esca"
+ key.
+
+File bug against enigmail about lack of ability to create subkeys.
+
+Test and document what happens when any filesystem that the
+ monkeysphere-server relies on and modifies (/tmp, /etc, and /var?)
+ fills up.
+
+Optimize keyserver access, particularly on monkeysphere-server
+ update-users -- is there a way to query the keyserver all in a
+ chunk?
+
+Create DSA authentication subkey for server during gen-key
+
+Fix behavior when add-identity-certifier fails to fetch a key from the
+ keyserver.
+
+Allow server administrators to add-identity-certifier from a key in
+ the filesystem (or on stdin, etc)
+
+Add "monkeysphere-server diagnostics" subcommand to identify missing
+ pieces of monkeysphere server administration setup.
