Next-Steps Monkeysphere Projects:
---------------------------------
-Handle unknown hosts in such a way that they're not always removed
- from known_hosts file. Ask user to lsign the host key?
+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.
-Handle multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when generating host
- keys with gen-key.
-
-Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.
-
-Script to import private key into ssh agent.
-
-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.
+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?
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
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.
-
-Note all threat model reductions (with diagrams).
-
-Add environment variables sections to man pages.
-
-Environment variable scoping.
-
-Move environment variable precedence before conf file.
-
-Handle lockfiles when modifying known_hosts or authorized_keys.
-
When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
-Update monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand man page with new keyserver
- checking policy info.
+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?
-Update monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand man page with info about
- no-connect option.
+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.
