Hello,

We would like to start a Kernel SSL Enhancements project.
We are requesting endorsement from the security community
and the networking community.

Thanks,

-- OPENSOLARIS PROJECT PROPOSAL --


Project Name:
    Kernel SSL Enhancements


Short Name:
    kssl


Project Synopsis:
     Kernel SSL Enhancements to make it more widely usable.


Project Purpose:

     OpenSolaris has a kernel level SSL server proxy (KSSL) that
     can be used for improved SSL performance on the server side.
     It can be configured as a proxy for a non-SSL server
     (e.g. web servers like Apache and Sun web server) to communicate
     with a SSL client.

     There is an ongoing effort to add new features to KSSL.
     This project proposes to provide a place for that ongoing effort.

     Possible initial enhancements include:
         * Debugging tools and scripts
         * Add IPv6 support
         * Add support for TLS 1.1
         * Performance optimizations
         * Add support for client authentication
         * Add support for ECC cipher suites

     A new mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] is requested.
