+<h2>Future development of afb-daemon</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p>The binder afb-daemon would launch the applications directly.</p></li>
+<li><p>The current setting of mode (local/remote/global) might be reworked to a
+mechanism for querying configuration variables.</p></li>
+<li><p>Implements &ldquo;one-shot&rdquo; initial token. It means that after its first
+authenticated use, the initial token is removed and no client can connect
+anymore.</p></li>
+<li><p>Creates some intrinsic APIs.</p></li>
+<li><p>Make the service connection using WebSocket not DBUS.</p></li>
+<li><p>Management of targetted events.</p></li>
+<li><p>Securisation of LOA.</p></li>
