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?
-
-Handle multiple multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when
- generating host keys with gen-key.
-
-Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
-
-Add environment variables sections to man pages.
-
-Script to import private key into ssh agent.
+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?
Provide a friendly interactive UI for marginal or failing client-side
hostkey verifications. Handle the common cases smoothly, and
provide good debugging info for the unusual cases.
-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.
-
Create ssh2openpgp or convert to full-fledged keytrans.
Resolve the bugs listed in openpgp2ssh(1):BUGS.
-Understand and document alternate trustdb models.
-
Understand and document the output of gpg --check-trustdb:
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
gpg: depth: 0 valid: 2 signed: 20 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 2u
"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 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)
+
+Think about packaging monkeysphere for other (non-apt-based) operating
+ systems. RPM-based linux systems, FreeBSD ports, and Mac OS X seem
+ like the most likely candidates.
