Public and private keys should be distinct classes, with a function on private
keys that creates a new object corresponding to the public key.

[This is planned to be fixed in Botan4]

Botan2 is still supported, but no further feature work is planned.
Only security issues and serious bugs will be addressed.

Botan 3
Currently, Botan2 is scheduled to reach end of life at the end of 2024.

In the context of Project 481 there's currently no plan (or budget) to add any more algorithms other than the ones already merged (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FrodoKEM, LMS) and CMCE.


* New ECC based password authenticated key exchanges, to replace SRP.
The most likely candidate algorithms are CPace and OPAQUE.
The most likely candidate algorithms are SPAKE2(+) and CPace.

* Adding an implementation of BLS12-381 elliptic curve pairing.

* Low level integer math and elliptic curve arithmetic optimizations.
* Exposing TLS to C (and Python, ...) via the FFI layer

* Adding an OpenSSL API/ABI compatability layer.

Botan 4
Botan4
---------------

At this time there is no immediate plan for a new major version. When it occurs,
it will remove functionality currently marked as deprecated, and adopt a new C++
version. This is unlikely to occur before 2027, at the earliest.

One major change already planned for Botan 4 is that in this release, Public_Key
One major change already planned for Botan4 is that in that release, Public_Key
will no longer derive from Private_Key. And similarly, specific private keys
(for example RSA_PrivateKey) will no longer derive from their corresponding
public key type.
