5 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
8 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
9 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
10 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
11 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
12 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
13 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
14 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
16 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
17 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
18 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
20 we now have additional functions
22 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
23 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
24 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
26 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
27 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
31 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
32 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
33 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
34 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
35 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
36 the array representation useful in a more general context.
39 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
40 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
41 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
42 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
43 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
45 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
46 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
47 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
48 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
49 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
52 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
53 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
54 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
55 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
57 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
58 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
59 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
60 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
61 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
67 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
68 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
72 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
73 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
76 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
77 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
80 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
81 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
82 functional reference processing.
85 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
86 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
90 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
91 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
92 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
95 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
96 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
97 application to support multiple signers.
100 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
104 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
105 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
106 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
107 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
108 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
111 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
115 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
116 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
117 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
118 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
122 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
123 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
124 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
125 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
126 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
127 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
128 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
129 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
132 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
133 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
134 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
135 between digests and public key types.
138 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
139 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
140 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
141 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
144 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
145 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
149 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
152 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
156 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
157 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
158 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
159 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
164 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
166 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
168 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
170 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
171 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
172 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
173 functionality for RSA.
176 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
177 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
178 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
181 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
182 key API, doesn't do much yet.
185 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
186 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
187 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
190 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
191 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
194 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
195 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
198 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
199 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
203 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
204 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
205 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
209 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
210 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
211 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
212 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
213 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
214 of public and private key structures.
217 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
218 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
221 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
222 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
223 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
226 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
230 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
231 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
233 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
235 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
237 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
238 and response verification functionality.
239 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
241 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
242 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
243 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
244 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
245 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
246 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
247 server_name extension.
249 New functions (subject to change):
252 SSL_get_servername_type()
255 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
257 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
258 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
259 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
260 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
261 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
263 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
265 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
266 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
267 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
268 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
269 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
270 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
273 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
275 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
278 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
279 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
280 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
281 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
282 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
285 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
286 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
290 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
291 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
292 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
293 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
296 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
297 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
298 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
299 using the maximum available value.
302 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
303 in addition to the text details.
306 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
307 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
308 handle several customised structures at all.
311 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
312 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
313 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
316 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
319 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
320 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
321 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
324 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
325 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
326 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
329 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
330 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
334 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
337 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
340 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
342 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
343 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
344 undesirable limitations.
345 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
347 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
348 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
349 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
350 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
351 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
352 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
353 to avoid potential handshake problems.
356 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
358 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
359 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
360 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
362 The latter two were purportedly from
363 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
366 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
367 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
368 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
371 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
372 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
375 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
376 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
377 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
378 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
380 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
381 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
382 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
385 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
386 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
387 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
388 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
389 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
390 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
393 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
395 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
396 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
399 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
400 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
402 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
403 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
404 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
405 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
408 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
409 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
412 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
413 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
414 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
415 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
416 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
417 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
418 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
422 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
423 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
424 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
425 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
428 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
429 under VC++ build system.
432 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
433 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
436 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
438 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
439 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
440 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
441 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
442 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
444 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
445 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
446 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
448 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
451 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
452 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
455 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
456 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
458 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
461 *) Extended Windows CE support.
462 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
464 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
465 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
468 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
469 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
473 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
475 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
478 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
481 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
482 key into the same file any more.
485 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
488 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
489 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
491 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
492 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
495 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
496 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
497 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
498 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
499 this only applies when building 'shared'.
500 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
502 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
503 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
504 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
507 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
508 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
509 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
510 - add new function for parameter creation
511 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
512 BN_BLINDING parameters
513 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
514 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
515 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
519 *) Add support for DTLS.
520 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
522 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
523 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
526 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
527 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
530 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
531 the apps/openssl applications.
534 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
535 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
536 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
539 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
540 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
542 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
543 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
545 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
546 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
547 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
548 avoid this algorithm.)
552 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
553 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
554 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
557 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
558 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
561 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
562 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
563 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
566 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
568 The blank line is mandatory.
572 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
573 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
577 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
578 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
580 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
581 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
582 to support policy checking and print out.
585 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
586 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
587 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
588 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
590 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
593 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
594 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
596 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
597 implementation contributed by IBM.
598 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
600 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
601 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
602 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
603 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
605 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
606 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
608 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
609 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
610 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
611 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
612 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
613 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
616 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
617 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
618 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
619 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
620 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
621 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
622 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
625 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
628 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
629 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
630 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
631 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
632 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
633 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
634 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
635 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
638 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
639 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
640 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
641 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
644 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
647 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
650 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
651 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
652 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
653 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
654 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
655 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
659 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
660 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
663 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
664 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
665 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
668 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
669 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
670 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
674 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
675 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
678 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
679 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
680 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
681 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
684 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
685 initialised value as BN_new().
686 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
688 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
691 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
692 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
693 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
694 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
695 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
696 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
697 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
698 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
699 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
700 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
701 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
702 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
703 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
704 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
705 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
707 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
708 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
709 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
710 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
713 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
714 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
715 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
716 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
717 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
718 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
719 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
720 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
721 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
724 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
725 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
726 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
727 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
728 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
729 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
730 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
733 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
734 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
735 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
736 these have been updated also.
739 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
740 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
741 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
742 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
743 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
747 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
748 structure of type "other".
751 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
752 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
753 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
754 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
755 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
756 situation in the script.
757 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
759 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
760 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
761 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
762 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
763 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
764 used as premaster secret.
765 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
767 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
768 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
769 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
771 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
772 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
774 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
775 control of the error stack.
778 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
781 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
782 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
783 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
784 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
787 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
788 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
789 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
792 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
793 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
794 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
798 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
799 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
800 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
801 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
804 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
805 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
806 the following flags are defined:
808 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
809 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
810 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
813 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
814 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
815 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
816 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
820 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
821 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
822 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
823 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
824 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
827 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
828 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
829 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
832 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
833 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
834 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
835 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
836 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
837 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
840 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
844 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
847 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
850 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
853 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
854 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
855 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
856 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
857 default implementation more easily.
860 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
864 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
865 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
868 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
869 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
870 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
871 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
873 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
874 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
875 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
879 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
880 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
884 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
885 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
886 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
887 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
888 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
890 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
892 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
893 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
894 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
898 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
899 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
900 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
901 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
902 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
903 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
904 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
905 linker additions, eg;
906 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
909 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
910 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
911 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
914 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
915 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
916 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
920 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
921 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
922 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
923 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
926 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
927 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
928 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
929 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
930 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
931 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
932 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
933 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
934 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
935 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
937 Example for using the new callback interface:
939 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
943 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
945 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
946 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
947 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
948 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
949 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
950 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
955 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
956 available to TLS with the number defined in
957 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
960 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
961 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
963 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
964 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
965 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
966 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
968 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
969 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
971 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
972 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
976 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
977 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
980 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
981 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
982 and a macro that behave like
983 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
985 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
988 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
989 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
990 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
992 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
994 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
997 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
998 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
999 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1000 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1002 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1003 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1004 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1005 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1006 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1007 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1008 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1009 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1011 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1012 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1015 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1016 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1018 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1019 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1020 files while avoiding the low level API.
1022 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1023 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1024 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1025 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1027 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1028 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1029 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1030 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1031 instead of the low level API.
1034 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1035 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1036 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1037 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1038 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1041 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1042 down to the template encoder.
1045 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1046 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1049 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1050 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1051 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1052 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1054 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1055 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1057 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1058 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1060 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1061 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1064 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1065 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1066 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1069 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1070 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1072 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1073 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1075 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1076 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1079 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1083 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1084 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1085 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1086 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1087 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1088 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1090 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1091 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1094 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1095 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1096 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1097 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1098 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1099 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1100 various internal method names.)
1102 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1103 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1105 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1106 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1108 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1109 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1111 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1112 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1113 methods are undefined.
1115 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1116 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1118 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1119 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1120 length of the modulus.
1122 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1123 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1125 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1126 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1128 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1129 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1131 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1132 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1133 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1136 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1137 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1138 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1139 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1141 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1142 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1143 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1144 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1146 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1147 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1149 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1150 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1151 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1152 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1153 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1155 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1156 This applies to the following functions:
1161 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1162 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1164 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1165 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1169 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1174 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1176 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1177 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1178 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1179 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1180 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1182 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1183 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1185 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1186 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1187 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1189 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1190 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1192 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1193 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1194 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1195 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1196 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1198 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1200 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1201 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1202 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1203 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1204 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1205 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1206 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1207 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1208 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1209 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1210 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1211 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1213 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1216 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1217 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1218 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1219 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1221 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1222 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1223 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1224 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1229 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1230 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1231 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1232 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1233 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1235 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1236 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1237 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1238 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1239 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1240 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1241 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1242 adding different types of curves.
1243 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1245 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1246 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1247 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1250 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1251 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1253 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1254 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1255 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1258 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1260 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1261 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1263 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1264 library. Most notably,
1265 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1266 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1267 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1268 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1269 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1270 extracted before the specific public key;
1271 - ECDSA engine support has been added.

1274 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1275 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1277 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1278 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with

1286 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1287 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1288 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1289 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1290 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1291 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with

1297 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1298 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1299 undesirable limitations.
1300 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1302 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1304 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1305 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1306 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1308 The latter two were purportedly from
1309 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1312 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1313 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1314 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1317 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1318 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1321 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1323 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1324 module in FIPS mode.
1327 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1330 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1331 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1332 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1333 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1336 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1338 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1339 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1340 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1341 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1342 the difference induced by this change.

1347 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1348 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1349 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1350 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1351 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1353 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1354 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1355 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1357 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1358 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1361 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1362 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1363 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1364 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1368 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1369 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1370 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1371 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1372 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1374 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1375 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1376 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1377 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1378 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1379 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1381 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1383 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1384 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1385 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1386 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1387 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1390 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1394 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1395 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1396 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1399 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1400 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1401 structures constant.
1404 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1406 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1409 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1410 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1411 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1412 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1413 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1414 some needed definitions.
1417 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1420 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1421 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1422 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1423 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1426 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1428 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1429 server and client random values. Previously
1430 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1431 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1433 This change has negligible security impact because:
1435 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1438 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1441 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1442 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random

1450 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1453 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1454 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1455 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1457 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1460 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1461 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1464 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1465 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1466 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1468 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1471 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1472 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1473 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1477 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1478 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1479 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1480 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1482 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1483 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1484 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1485 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1489 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1491 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1492 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1493 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1494 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1495 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1498 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1501 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1502 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1504 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1505 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1506 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1507 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1508 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1509 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1510 rather than being initialized to 1.
1513 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1515 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1516 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1517 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1519 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1521 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1523 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1524 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1525 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1526 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1527 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1528 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1531 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1532 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1533 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1534 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1535 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1539 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1540 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1541 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1542 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1543 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1546 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1547 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1548 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL

1560 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1562 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1563 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1565 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1567 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1568 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1572 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1573 exiting on the first error in a request.
1576 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1577 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1581 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1582 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1583 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1584 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1586 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1587 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1590 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1591 blocks during encryption.
1594 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1595 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1596 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1597 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1601 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1602 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1603 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1604 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1605 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1609 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1611 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1612 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1613 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1614 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1617 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1618 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1619 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1620 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1621 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1623 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1624 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1625 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1626 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1627 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1628 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1629 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1630 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1631 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1634 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1635 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1636 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1637 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1640 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1641 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1644 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1646 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1647 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1648 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1649 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1650 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)

1653 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1654 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1656 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1657 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1658 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1659 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1660 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1662 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1663 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1664 used by default when no-err is given.
1667 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1668 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1670 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1671 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1672 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1673 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1674 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1676 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1677 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1678 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1679 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1681 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1683 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1685 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1687 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1688 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1689 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1690 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1694 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1695 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1697 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1698 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1701 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1702 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1703 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1704 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1707 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1708 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1709 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1710 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1711 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1712 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1713 followup to PR #377.
1716 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1717 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1720 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1721 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1722 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1745 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1746 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1747 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.

1753 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1754 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1755 have to be made anyway).
1758 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1759 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1760 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.

1764 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1765 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

1876 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1877 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1879 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1880 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1881 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1882 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1884 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1885 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1886 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1888 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1889 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1890 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1891 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1893 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1894 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1895 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1898 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1899 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1900 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1901 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1902 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1903 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1904 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1905 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1908 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1909 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1910 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1913 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1914 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1915 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1916 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1917 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1919 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1920 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1922 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1923 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1926 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1927 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1928 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1929 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1930 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1931 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1934 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1935 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1936 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1939 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1940 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1943 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1944 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1945 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1946 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1947 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1948 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1949 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1952 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1953 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1954 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1955 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1956 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1957 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1960 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1961 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1962 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1963 declaration has been changed from
1966 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1967 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1968 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1969 has been changed into
1970 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1972 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1973 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1974 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1976 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1977 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1979 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1980 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1981 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1982 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1983 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1984 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1985 always load it have also been added.
1988 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1989 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1990 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1992 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1994 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1995 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1996 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1998 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1999 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2000 command line option can be used to specify an
2004 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2005 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2008 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2009 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2010 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2013 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2014 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2015 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2016 to work with the new engine framework.
2017 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2019 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2020 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2021 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2022 to work with the new engine framework.
2025 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2026 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2027 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2029 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2030 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2032 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2033 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2034 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2035 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2037 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2039 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2040 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2042 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2043 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2045 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2046 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2047 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2050 *) Add new functions
2052 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2053 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2054 These are similar to
2057 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2058 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2059 still in the error queue.
2060 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2062 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2064 default_algorithms = ALL
2065 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2068 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2071 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2074 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2075 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2076 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2077 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2079 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2080 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2082 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2083 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2085 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2086 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2089 *) New functions/macros
2091 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2092 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2093 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2094 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2096 to request calling a callback function
2098 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2099 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2101 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2102 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2103 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2104 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2105 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2106 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2107 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2108 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2109 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2110 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2112 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2113 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2116 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2117 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2118 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2119 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2120 the configuration scripts.
2122 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2123 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2124 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2126 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2127 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2129 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2130 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2131 when reusing an existing buffer.
2134 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2135 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2138 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2139 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2142 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2143 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2144 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2145 has the same effect.
2146 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2148 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2149 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2150 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2151 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2152 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2153 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2156 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2157 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2158 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2159 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2161 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2162 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2163 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2164 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2166 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2167 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2170 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2171 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2172 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2173 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2174 default), and then completely removed.
2177 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2178 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2179 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2180 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2181 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2182 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2183 particular extension is supported.
2186 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2187 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2190 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2191 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2192 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2193 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2194 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2195 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2196 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2197 requires the destination to be valid.
2199 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2200 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2203 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2204 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2205 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2208 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2209 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2211 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2212 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2213 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2214 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2215 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2216 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2217 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2218 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2219 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2220 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2221 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2222 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2223 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2224 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2225 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2226 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2227 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2228 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2229 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2233 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2236 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2237 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2238 become part of libeay.num as well.
2241 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2242 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2243 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2244 false once a handshake has been completed.
2245 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2246 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2247 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2248 client has followed the request.)
2251 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2252 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2253 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2254 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2256 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2257 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2258 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2261 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2264 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2265 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2266 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2269 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2270 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2273 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2274 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2275 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2276 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2279 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2280 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2281 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2282 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2283 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2284 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2287 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2288 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2289 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2290 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2291 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2292 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2293 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2294 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2297 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2298 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2301 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2304 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2305 md_data void pointer.
2308 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2309 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2310 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2311 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2312 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2313 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2316 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2317 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2318 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2319 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2320 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2321 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2322 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2323 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2324 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2325 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2326 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2327 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2328 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2329 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2330 rather than letting it slide.
2332 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2333 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2334 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2337 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2338 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2339 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2340 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2341 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2342 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2343 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2344 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2345 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2348 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2349 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2350 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2351 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2352 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2354 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2357 *) Add EVP test program.
2360 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2363 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2364 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2365 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2366 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2367 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2370 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2371 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2372 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2373 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2374 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2375 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2376 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2378 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2379 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2380 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2385 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2386 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2387 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2388 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2389 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2393 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2394 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2395 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2396 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2399 des_key_schedule ks;
2401 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2402 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2404 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2407 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2408 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2409 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2410 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2411 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2412 functions prevents this.
2415 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2418 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2419 correct _ecb suffix.
2422 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2423 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2424 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2425 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2426 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2429 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2432 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2433 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2434 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2435 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2437 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2438 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2440 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2441 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2442 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2443 via Richard Levitte]
2445 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2446 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2447 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2448 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2451 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2454 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2455 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2469 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2470 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2472 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2473 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2474 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2475 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2476 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2477 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2480 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2481 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2484 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2485 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2486 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2487 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2489 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2490 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2491 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2492 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2493 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2494 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2498 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2499 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2500 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2501 and interrupts/cancellations.
2504 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2505 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2508 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2509 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2510 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2512 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2513 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2517 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2518 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2519 than this minimum value is recommended.
2522 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2523 that are easily reachable.
2526 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2527 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2529 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2531 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2532 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2533 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2534 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2537 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2538 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2539 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2542 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2543 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2544 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2545 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2546 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2547 internally such as S/MIME.
2549 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2550 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2551 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2553 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2557 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2558 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2559 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2560 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2562 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2564 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2566 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2567 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2568 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2572 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2573 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2574 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2575 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2576 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2577 a window system and the like.
2580 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2581 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2584 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2585 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2586 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2587 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2588 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2589 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2590 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2591 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2592 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2596 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2597 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2601 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2602 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2603 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2604 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2605 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2606 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2607 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2608 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2611 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2612 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2613 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2614 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2615 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2616 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2617 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2618 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2619 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2620 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2621 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2622 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2623 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2624 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2625 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2626 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2627 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2630 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2631 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2632 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2633 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2634 internal engine_int.h header.
2637 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2638 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2639 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2640 modify their own ones).
2643 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2644 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2645 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2646 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2647 later on via ctrl() commands.
2648 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2649 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2650 structural references.
2651 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2652 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2653 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2654 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2655 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2656 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2657 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2658 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2659 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2660 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2661 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2662 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2665 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2666 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2667 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2668 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2669 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2670 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2671 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2672 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2675 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2676 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2679 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2680 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2683 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2684 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2685 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2686 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2687 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2688 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2689 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2692 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2693 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2694 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2695 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2696 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2698 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2699 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2703 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2705 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2706 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2707 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2709 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2710 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2712 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2713 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2714 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2716 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2717 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2719 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2720 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2722 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2724 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2725 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2726 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2729 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2730 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2733 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2734 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2735 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2736 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2737 is 40 of more characters long.
2740 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2741 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2745 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2746 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2749 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2750 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2754 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2756 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2757 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2760 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2762 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2763 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2764 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2766 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2767 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2769 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2772 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2776 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2777 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2778 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2779 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2781 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2783 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2784 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2786 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2787 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2788 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2789 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2790 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2791 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2793 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2794 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2796 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2797 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2799 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2800 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2802 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2803 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2804 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2805 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2807 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2808 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2810 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2811 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2813 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2814 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2815 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2816 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2817 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2820 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2821 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2822 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2823 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2826 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2827 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2828 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2832 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2833 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2834 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2835 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2836 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2837 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2838 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2839 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2843 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2844 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2847 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2848 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2849 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2850 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2853 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2854 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2855 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2856 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2857 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2858 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2859 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2860 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2861 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2862 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2865 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2866 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2867 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2868 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2869 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2870 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2871 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2872 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2874 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2875 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2876 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2877 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2880 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2881 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2882 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2883 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2885 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2886 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2887 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2888 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2889 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2893 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2894 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2895 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2896 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2900 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2901 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2902 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2905 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2906 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2907 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2908 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2909 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2912 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2915 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2916 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2917 option to ocsp utility.
2920 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2921 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2922 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2923 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2924 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2925 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2926 the request is nonce-less.
2929 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2930 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2931 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2934 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2935 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2936 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2939 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2940 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2941 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2942 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2943 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2946 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2947 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2951 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2952 additional certificates supplied.
2955 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2956 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2960 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2961 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2964 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2965 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2966 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2967 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2968 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2969 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2970 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2971 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2972 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2974 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2975 request to response.
2978 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2979 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2980 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2981 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2982 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2983 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2984 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2985 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2986 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2987 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2988 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2991 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2992 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2993 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2994 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2997 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2998 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3000 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3001 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3002 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3005 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3006 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3007 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3008 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3009 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3011 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3012 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3013 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3016 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3017 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3018 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3019 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3020 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3021 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3022 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3023 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3025 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3026 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3027 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3028 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3029 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3030 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3033 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3034 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3035 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3036 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3037 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3038 printout format cleaned up.
3041 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3042 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3043 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3044 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3045 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3046 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3047 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3048 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3051 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3052 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3053 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3054 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3055 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3056 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3057 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3058 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3061 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3062 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3063 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3064 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3066 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3068 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3069 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3070 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3071 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3074 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3075 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3076 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3077 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3079 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3081 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3082 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3083 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3084 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3086 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3087 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3089 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3090 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3091 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3094 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3095 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3096 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3099 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3100 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3101 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3102 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3103 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3104 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3105 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3106 functions are provided:
3108 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3109 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3110 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3111 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3113 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3114 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3115 extended allocation function is enabled.
3116 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3117 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3118 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3120 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3121 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3122 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3123 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3124 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3127 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3128 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3129 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3131 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3132 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3133 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3136 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3137 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3138 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3139 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3140 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3141 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3142 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3143 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3144 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3147 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3148 provide utility functions which an application needing
3149 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3150 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3151 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3153 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3154 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3155 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3156 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3157 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3158 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3159 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3160 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3161 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3163 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3164 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3165 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3166 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3169 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3170 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3171 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3172 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3173 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3174 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3175 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3176 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3177 will be added elsewhere.
3180 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3181 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3182 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3183 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3186 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3187 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3188 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3189 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3190 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3191 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3192 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3193 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3194 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3195 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3196 to produce the required SET OF.
3199 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3200 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3201 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3204 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3205 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3206 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3207 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3208 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3209 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3212 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3213 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3214 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3217 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3218 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3219 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3222 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3223 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3224 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3225 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3226 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3229 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3230 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3233 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3234 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3235 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3236 certifcates and CRLs.
3239 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3240 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3241 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3244 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3245 entries for variables.
3248 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3249 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3250 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3251 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3254 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3255 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3256 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3257 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3258 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3259 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3262 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3263 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3265 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3266 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3267 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3270 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3274 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3275 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3276 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3277 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3278 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3279 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3282 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3285 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3286 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3287 for now but they will eventually go away.
3290 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3291 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3292 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3293 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3294 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3295 has also been converted to the new form.
3298 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3299 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3300 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3301 for negative moduli.
3304 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3305 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3308 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3312 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3313 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3314 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3315 type-specific callbacks.
3318 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3320 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3321 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3323 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3324 in sections depending on the subject.
3327 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3331 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3332 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3333 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3334 be handled deterministically).
3335 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3337 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3338 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3339 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3342 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3345 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3346 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3347 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3348 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3349 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3352 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3353 sign of the number in question.
3355 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3357 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3358 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3359 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3360 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3361 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3364 *) New function BN_swap.
3367 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3368 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3369 results on negative inputs.
3372 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3373 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3374 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3377 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3378 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3379 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3380 and add new functions:
3389 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3393 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3395 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3396 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3398 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3399 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3400 be reduced modulo m.
3401 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3404 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3405 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3406 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3408 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3409 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3410 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3411 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3412 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3413 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3418 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3419 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3420 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3421 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3422 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3424 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3425 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3426 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3430 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3433 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3434 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3437 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3438 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3439 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3440 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3444 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3447 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3450 *) Add the following functions:
3452 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3454 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3456 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3458 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3459 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3460 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3461 libraries unless it's really needed.
3463 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3464 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3465 declarations (they differed!).
3468 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3471 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3474 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3477 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3478 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3481 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3482 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3483 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3485 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3486 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3489 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3492 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3495 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3498 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3499 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3500 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3502 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3503 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3504 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3505 different shared library filenames on each system.
3508 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3511 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3512 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3513 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3515 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3518 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3519 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3520 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3521 binary backward compatibility.
3522 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3523 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3524 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3528 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3529 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3530 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3531 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3535 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3538 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3539 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3540 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3541 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3545 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3548 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3550 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3551 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3552 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3554 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3556 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3558 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3559 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3562 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3564 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3566 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3567 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3569 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3570 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3574 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3575 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3579 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3580 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3581 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3582 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3584 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3585 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3588 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3590 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3591 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3592 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3593 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3596 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3597 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3598 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3599 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3600 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3602 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3603 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3604 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3605 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3606 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3607 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3608 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3609 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3610 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3613 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3615 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3616 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3617 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3618 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3619 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3621 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3622 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3623 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3625 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3627 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3628 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3629 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3630 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3631 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3632 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3635 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3636 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3637 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3638 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3639 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3642 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3643 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3644 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3646 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3647 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3648 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3652 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3653 being properly terminated.
3656 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3657 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3658 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3659 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3661 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3662 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3663 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3664 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3665 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3666 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3667 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3669 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3671 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3672 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3675 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3676 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3677 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3678 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3679 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
