Roadmap for 7.6 and beyond - SWI-Prolog/packages-ssl GitHub Wiki

I am currently working on the following features:

1. password-based key derivation [DONE]

2. HMAC-based key derivation (HKDF) [DONE]

3. authenticated encryption [DONE]

→ Ready for 7.6.0 !

For the next development series, I will work on:

• incremental encryption
  This will allow us to encrypt large files with library(crypto).

• AEAD
  Authenticated encryption with associated data. This can work together nicely with the new API for incremental encryption.

• cipher introspection
  There will be a predicate such as crypto_cipher_property/2 to obtain the length of keys and IVs of ciphers, whether or not they are authenticated etc.

• certificate and key export
  This will allow us to create self-signed certificates from SWI-Prolog itself.

• DTLS
  Please let me know if you are interested in this.

• EdDSA
  An important new signature algorithm with several desirable properties.

Other features are implemented as they become requested. If you need a feature urgently, please file an issue.
