5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
8 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
9 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
10 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
11 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
14 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
15 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
16 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
19 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
20 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
23 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
24 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
26 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
27 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
30 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
33 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
34 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
35 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
39 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
40 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
41 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
42 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
43 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
44 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
47 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
48 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
50 This work was sponsored by Google.
53 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
54 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
55 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
56 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
57 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
58 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
59 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
62 This work was sponsored by Google.
65 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
67 This work was sponsored by Google.
70 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
71 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
72 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
73 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
75 This work was sponsored by Google.
78 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
79 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
80 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
81 CRL functionality in future.
83 This work was sponsored by Google.
86 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
88 This work was sponsored by Google.
91 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
92 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
94 This work was sponsored by Google.
97 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
98 and URI types are currently supported.
100 This work was sponsored by Google.
103 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
104 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
105 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
106 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
107 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
108 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
109 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
110 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
112 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
113 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
114 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
116 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
117 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
118 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
119 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
121 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
122 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
123 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
124 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
125 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
126 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
127 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
128 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
130 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
132 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
133 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
134 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
136 This work was sponsored by Google.
139 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
142 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
143 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
144 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
147 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
148 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
151 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
152 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
155 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
156 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
157 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
158 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
159 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
160 content types and variants.
163 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
166 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
167 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
168 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
169 files from the associated perl scripts.
172 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
173 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
174 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
176 *) s390x assembler pack.
179 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
183 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
184 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
185 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
186 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
187 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
188 to use. For example, specify an option
190 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
192 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
193 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
194 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
195 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
196 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
197 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
199 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
200 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
201 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
202 return non-zero for success.
204 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
207 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
208 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
212 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
215 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
216 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
217 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
218 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
219 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
220 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
221 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
222 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
223 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
225 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
226 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
227 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
228 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
229 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
230 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
232 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
233 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
234 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
235 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
236 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
237 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
241 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
244 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
246 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
247 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
248 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
251 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
252 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
255 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
256 protection in servers so again support should be possible
257 with no application modification.
259 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
260 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
262 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
263 or server extensions to be examined.
265 This work was sponsored by Google.
268 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
269 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
270 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
272 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
273 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
275 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
277 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
278 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
279 to output in BER and PEM format.
282 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
283 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
284 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
285 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
286 -macopt options to dgst utility.
289 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
290 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
291 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
295 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
296 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
297 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
298 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
299 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
300 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
301 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
302 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
305 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
306 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
307 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
308 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
310 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
311 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
312 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
316 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
317 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
318 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
319 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
320 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
321 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
322 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
323 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
324 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
326 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
327 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
328 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
329 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
330 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
331 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
332 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
333 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
334 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
335 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
336 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
339 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
340 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
341 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
343 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
344 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
348 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
349 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
350 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
353 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
354 it yet and it is largely untested.
357 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
360 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
361 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
362 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
365 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
368 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
369 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
370 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
371 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
374 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
375 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
376 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
377 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
378 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
381 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
382 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
385 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
386 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
387 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
388 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
391 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
392 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
393 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
394 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
397 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
398 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
401 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
402 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
403 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
404 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
407 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
408 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
409 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
412 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
416 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
417 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
420 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
421 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
422 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
426 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
427 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
428 to free up any added signature OIDs.
431 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
432 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
433 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
434 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
437 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
438 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
439 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
440 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
441 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
442 the array representation useful in a more general context.
445 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
446 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
447 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
448 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
449 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
451 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
452 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
453 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
454 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
455 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
458 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
459 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
460 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
461 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
463 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
464 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
465 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
466 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
467 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
473 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
474 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
478 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
479 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
482 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
483 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
486 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
487 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
488 functional reference processing.
491 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
492 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
496 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
497 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
498 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
501 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
502 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
503 application to support multiple signers.
506 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
510 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
511 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
512 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
513 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
514 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
517 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
521 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
522 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
523 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
524 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
528 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
529 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
530 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
531 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
532 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
533 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
534 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
535 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
538 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
539 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
540 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
541 between digests and public key types.
544 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
545 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
546 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
547 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
550 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
551 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
555 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
558 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
562 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
563 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
564 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
565 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
570 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
572 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
574 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
576 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
577 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
578 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
579 functionality for RSA.
582 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
583 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
584 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
587 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
588 key API, doesn't do much yet.
591 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
592 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
593 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
596 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
597 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
600 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
601 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
604 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
605 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
609 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
610 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
611 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
615 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
616 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
617 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
618 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
619 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
620 of public and private key structures.
623 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
624 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
627 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
628 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
629 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
632 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
636 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
637 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
639 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
641 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
643 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
644 and response verification functionality.
645 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
647 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
648 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
649 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
650 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
651 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
652 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
653 server_name extension.
655 New functions (subject to change):
658 SSL_get_servername_type()
661 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
663 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
664 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
665 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
666 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
667 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
669 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
671 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
672 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
673 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
674 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
675 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
676 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
679 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
681 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
684 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
685 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
686 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
687 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
688 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
691 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
692 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
696 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
697 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
698 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
699 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
702 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
703 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
704 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
705 using the maximum available value.
708 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
709 in addition to the text details.
712 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
713 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
714 handle several customised structures at all.
717 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
718 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
719 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
722 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
725 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
726 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
727 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
730 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
731 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
732 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
735 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
736 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
740 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
743 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
746 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [xx XXX xxxx]
748 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
751 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
754 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
755 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
759 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
761 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
763 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
765 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
768 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
769 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
770 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
771 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
773 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
774 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
776 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
777 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
780 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
781 s_client and s_server.
784 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
785 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
787 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
788 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
790 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
791 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
792 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
793 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
794 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
797 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
799 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
800 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
803 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
804 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
805 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
806 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
808 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
809 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
811 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
813 *) Various precautionary measures:
815 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
817 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
818 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
819 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
821 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
822 outside the expected range.
824 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
827 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
829 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
830 the load fails. Useful for distros.
831 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
833 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
836 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
839 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
841 This work was sponsored by Logica.
844 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
845 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
846 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
848 This work was sponsored by Logica.
851 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
852 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
853 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
857 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
859 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
860 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
861 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
862 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
864 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
865 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
868 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
870 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
871 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
872 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
874 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
876 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
877 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
878 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
879 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
882 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
883 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
884 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
885 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
886 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
887 invalid read after the end of 'db').
888 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
890 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
892 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
893 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
894 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
895 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
896 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
898 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
899 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
901 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
902 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
903 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
904 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
905 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
907 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
909 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
910 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
911 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
912 sets may exist with different names.
915 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
916 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
917 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
918 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
919 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
920 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
921 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
922 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
923 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
925 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
927 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
928 implemention in the following ways:
930 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
933 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
934 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
935 ignored for embedded content.
937 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
938 with the enable-cms configuration option.
941 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
942 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
943 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
944 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
946 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
947 uncompresses any data passed through it.
950 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
951 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
954 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
955 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
956 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
957 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
958 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
959 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
963 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
964 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
965 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
969 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
970 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
971 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
972 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
973 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
974 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
975 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
976 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
978 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
979 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
980 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
981 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
982 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
983 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
984 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
986 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
987 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
988 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
989 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
990 to s_client and s_server.
993 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
996 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
997 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
998 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
999 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1000 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1002 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1004 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1005 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1006 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1007 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1008 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1009 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1010 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1011 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1014 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1015 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1016 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1019 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1020 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1021 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1024 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1025 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1028 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1029 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1030 with no application modification.
1032 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1033 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1035 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1036 or server extensions to be examined.
1038 This work was sponsored by Google.
1041 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1042 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1043 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1044 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1045 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1046 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1047 server_name extension.
1049 New functions (subject to change):
1051 SSL_get_servername()
1052 SSL_get_servername_type()
1055 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1057 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1058 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1059 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1060 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1061 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1063 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1065 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1066 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1067 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1068 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1069 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1070 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1073 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1075 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1078 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1081 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1082 (which previously caused an internal error).
1085 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1088 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1089 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1091 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1092 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1093 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1095 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1096 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1097 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1098 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1100 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1101 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1102 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1103 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1105 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1106 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1107 information. For detailed background information, see
1108 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1109 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1110 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1111 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1112 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1113 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1114 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1115 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1116 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1117 remove a conditional branch.
1119 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1120 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1121 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1122 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1123 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1124 remains as a deprecated alias.
1126 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1127 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1128 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1129 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1131 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1132 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1133 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1134 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1135 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1136 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1137 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1138 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1140 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1142 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1143 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1144 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1145 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1146 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1147 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1148 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1149 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1150 in a different context.
1153 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1154 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1155 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1158 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1159 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1160 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1162 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1164 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1165 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1166 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1167 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1168 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1171 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1172 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1173 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1174 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1175 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1176 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1179 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1180 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1181 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1182 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1183 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1186 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1187 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1189 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1190 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1191 Improve header file function name parsing.
1194 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1195 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1198 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1200 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1201 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1202 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1204 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1205 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1207 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1208 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1210 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1211 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1212 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1214 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1215 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1216 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1217 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1218 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1219 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1220 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1221 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1222 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1224 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1225 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1226 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1227 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1228 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1230 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1231 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1232 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1233 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1234 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1235 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1236 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1237 multiple values to extend the available space.
1241 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1243 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1244 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1246 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1249 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1250 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1251 undesirable limitations.
1252 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1254 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1255 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1256 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1257 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1258 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1259 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1260 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1263 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1265 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1266 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1267 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1269 The latter two were purportedly from
1270 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1273 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1274 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1275 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1278 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1279 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1282 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1283 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1284 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1285 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1287 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1288 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1289 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1292 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1293 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1294 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1295 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1296 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1297 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1300 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1302 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1303 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1306 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1307 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1309 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1310 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1311 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1312 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1315 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1316 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1319 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1320 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1321 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1322 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1323 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1324 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1325 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1329 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1330 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1331 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1332 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1335 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1336 under VC++ build system.
1339 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1340 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1343 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1345 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1346 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1347 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1348 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1349 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1351 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1352 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1353 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1355 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1358 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1359 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1362 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1363 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1365 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1368 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1369 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1371 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1372 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1375 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1376 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1380 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1382 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1385 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1388 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1389 key into the same file any more.
1392 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1395 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1396 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1398 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1399 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1402 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1403 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1404 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1405 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1406 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1407 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1409 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1410 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1411 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1414 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1415 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1416 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1417 - add new function for parameter creation
1418 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1419 BN_BLINDING parameters
1420 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1421 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1422 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1426 *) Add support for DTLS.
1427 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1429 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1430 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1433 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1434 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1437 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1438 the apps/openssl applications.
1441 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1442 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1443 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1446 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1447 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1449 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1450 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1452 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1453 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1454 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1455 avoid this algorithm.)
1459 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1460 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1461 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1464 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1465 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1468 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1469 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1470 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1473 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1475 The blank line is mandatory.
1479 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1480 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1484 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1485 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1487 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1488 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1489 to support policy checking and print out.
1492 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1493 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1494 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1495 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1497 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1500 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1501 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1503 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1504 implementation contributed by IBM.
1505 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1507 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1508 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1509 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1510 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1512 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1513 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1515 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1516 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1517 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1518 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1519 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1520 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1523 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1524 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1525 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1526 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1527 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1528 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1529 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1532 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1535 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1536 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1537 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1538 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1539 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1540 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1541 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1542 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1545 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1546 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1547 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1548 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1551 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1554 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1557 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1558 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1559 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1560 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1561 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1562 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1563 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1566 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1567 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1570 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1571 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1572 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1575 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1576 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1577 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1581 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1582 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1585 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1586 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1587 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1588 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1591 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1592 initialised value as BN_new().
1593 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1595 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1598 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1599 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1600 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1601 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1602 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1603 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1604 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1605 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1606 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1607 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1608 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1609 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1610 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1611 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1612 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1614 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1615 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1616 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1617 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1620 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1621 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1622 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1623 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1624 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1625 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1626 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1627 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1628 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1631 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1632 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1633 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1634 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1635 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1636 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1637 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1640 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1641 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1642 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1643 these have been updated also.
1646 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1647 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1648 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1649 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1650 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1654 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1655 structure of type "other".
1658 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1659 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1660 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1661 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1662 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1663 situation in the script.
1664 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1666 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1667 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1668 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1669 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1670 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1671 used as premaster secret.
1672 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1674 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1675 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1676 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1678 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1679 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1681 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1682 control of the error stack.
1685 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1688 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1689 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1690 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1691 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1694 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1695 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1696 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1699 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1700 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1701 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1705 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1706 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1707 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1708 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1711 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1712 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1713 the following flags are defined:
1715 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1716 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1717 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1720 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1721 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1722 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1723 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1727 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1728 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1729 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1730 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1731 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1734 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1735 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1736 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1739 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1740 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1741 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1742 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1743 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1744 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1747 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1751 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1754 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1757 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1760 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1761 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1762 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1763 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1764 default implementation more easily.
1767 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1771 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1772 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1775 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1776 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1777 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1778 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1780 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1781 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1782 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1783 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1786 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1787 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1791 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1792 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1793 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1794 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1795 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1796 scalar * generator).
1797 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1799 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1800 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1801 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1805 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1806 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1807 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1808 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1809 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1810 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1811 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1812 linker additions, eg;
1813 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1816 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1817 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1818 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1821 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1822 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1823 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1827 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1828 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1829 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1830 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1833 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1834 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1835 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1836 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1837 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1838 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1839 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1840 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1841 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1842 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1844 Example for using the new callback interface:
1846 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1850 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1852 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1853 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1854 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1855 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1856 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1857 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1862 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1863 available to TLS with the number defined in
1864 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1867 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1868 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1870 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1871 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1872 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1873 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1875 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1876 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1878 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1879 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1883 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1884 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1887 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1888 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1889 and a macro that behave like
1890 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1892 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1895 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1896 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1897 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1899 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1901 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1904 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1905 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1906 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1907 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1909 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1910 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1911 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1912 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1913 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1914 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1915 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1916 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1918 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1919 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1922 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1923 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1925 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1926 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1927 files while avoiding the low level API.
1929 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1930 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1931 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1932 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1934 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1935 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1936 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1937 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1938 instead of the low level API.
1941 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1942 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1943 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1944 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1945 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1948 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1949 down to the template encoder.
1952 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1953 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1956 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1957 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1958 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1959 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1961 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1962 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1964 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1965 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1967 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1968 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1971 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1972 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1973 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1976 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1977 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1979 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1980 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1982 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1983 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1986 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1990 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1991 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1992 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1993 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1994 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1995 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1997 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1998 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2001 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2002 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2003 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2004 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2005 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2006 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2007 various internal method names.)
2009 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2010 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2012 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2013 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2015 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2016 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2018 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2019 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2020 methods are undefined.
2022 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2023 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2025 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2026 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2027 length of the modulus.
2029 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2030 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2032 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2033 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2035 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2036 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2038 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2039 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2040 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2043 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2044 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2045 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2046 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2048 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2049 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2050 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2051 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2053 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2054 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2056 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2057 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2058 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2059 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2060 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2062 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2063 This applies to the following functions:
2068 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2069 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2071 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2072 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2076 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2081 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2083 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2084 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2085 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2086 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2087 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2089 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2090 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2092 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2093 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2094 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2096 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2097 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2099 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2100 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2101 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2102 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2103 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2105 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2107 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2108 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2109 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2110 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2111 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2112 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2113 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2114 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2115 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2116 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2117 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2118 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2120 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2123 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2124 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2125 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2126 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2128 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2129 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2130 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2131 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2136 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2137 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2138 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2139 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2140 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2142 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2143 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2144 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2145 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2146 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2147 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2148 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2149 adding different types of curves.
2150 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2152 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2153 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2154 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2157 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2158 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2160 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2161 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2162 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2163 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2165 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2167 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2168 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2170 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2171 library. Most notably,
2172 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2173 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2174 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2175 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2176 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2177 extracted before the specific public key;
2178 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2179 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2181 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2182 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2184 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2185 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2186 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2187 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2189 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2190 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2191 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2193 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2194 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2195 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2196 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2197 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2198 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2202 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2204 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2205 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2206 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2207 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2208 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2209 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2210 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2211 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2212 in a different context.
2215 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2217 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2219 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2221 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2222 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2223 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2226 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2227 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2228 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2231 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2234 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2235 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2238 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2239 run algorithm test programs.
2242 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2245 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2246 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2247 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2248 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2249 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2252 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2253 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2256 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2258 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2259 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2260 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2262 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2263 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2265 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2266 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2268 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2269 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2270 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2272 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2273 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2274 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2275 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2276 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2277 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2278 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2281 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2283 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2284 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2286 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2287 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2288 undesirable limitations.
2289 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2291 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2293 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2294 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2295 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2297 The latter two were purportedly from
2298 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2301 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2302 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2303 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2306 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2307 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2310 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2312 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2313 module in FIPS mode.
2316 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2319 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2320 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2321 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2322 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2325 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2327 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2328 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2329 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2330 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2331 the difference induced by this change.
2334 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2336 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2337 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2338 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2339 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2340 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2342 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2343 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2344 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2346 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2347 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2350 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2351 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2352 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2353 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2357 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2358 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2359 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2360 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2361 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2363 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2364 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2365 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2366 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2367 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2368 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2370 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2372 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2373 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2374 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2375 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2376 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2379 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2383 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2384 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2385 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2388 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2389 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2390 structures constant.
2393 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2395 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2398 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2399 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2400 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2401 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2402 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2403 some needed definitions.
2406 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2409 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2410 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2411 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2412 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2415 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2417 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2418 server and client random values. Previously
2419 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2420 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2422 This change has negligible security impact because:
2424 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2427 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2430 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2431 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2434 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2437 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2439 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2442 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2443 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2444 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2446 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2449 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2450 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2453 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2454 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2455 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2457 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2460 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2461 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2462 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2466 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2467 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2468 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2469 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2471 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2472 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2473 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2474 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2478 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2480 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2481 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2482 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2483 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2484 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2487 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2490 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2491 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2493 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2494 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2495 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2496 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2497 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2498 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2499 rather than being initialized to 1.
2502 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2504 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2505 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2506 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2508 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2510 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2512 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2513 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2514 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2515 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2516 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2517 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2520 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2521 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2522 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2523 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2524 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2528 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2529 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2530 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2531 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2532 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2535 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2536 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2537 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2541 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2542 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2544 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2547 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2549 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2551 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2552 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2554 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2556 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2557 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2561 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2562 exiting on the first error in a request.
2565 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2566 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2570 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2571 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2572 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2573 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2575 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2576 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2579 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2580 blocks during encryption.
2583 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2584 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2585 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2586 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2590 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2591 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2592 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2593 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2594 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2598 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2600 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2601 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2602 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2603 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2606 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2607 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2608 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2609 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2610 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2612 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2613 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2614 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2615 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2616 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2617 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2618 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2619 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2620 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2623 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2624 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2625 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2626 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2629 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2630 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2633 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2635 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2636 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2637 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2638 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2639 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2641 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2642 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2643 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2645 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2646 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2647 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2648 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2649 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2651 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2652 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2653 used by default when no-err is given.
2656 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2657 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2659 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2660 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2661 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2662 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2663 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2665 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2666 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2667 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2668 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2670 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2672 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2674 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2676 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2677 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2678 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2679 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2683 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2684 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2686 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2687 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2690 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2691 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2692 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2693 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2696 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2697 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2698 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2699 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2700 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2701 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2702 followup to PR #377.
2705 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2706 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2709 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2710 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2711 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2712 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2714 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2716 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2719 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2720 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2721 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2722 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2724 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2728 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2729 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2733 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2734 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2735 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2736 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2737 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2738 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2740 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2741 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2742 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2743 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2744 have to be made anyway).
2747 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2748 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2749 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2752 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2753 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2754 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2757 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2758 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2759 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2761 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2762 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2763 edit numbers of the version.
2764 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2766 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2767 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2768 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2770 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2771 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2773 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2774 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2775 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2777 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2778 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2780 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2781 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2783 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2784 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2786 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2789 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2791 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2793 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2794 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2795 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2797 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2798 representations in a platform independent manner.
2799 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2801 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2802 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2803 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2805 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2807 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2809 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2810 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2812 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2814 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2816 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2817 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2818 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2820 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2822 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2824 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2825 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2827 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2828 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2830 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2831 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2833 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2834 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2836 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2838 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2840 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2841 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2843 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2844 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2846 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2847 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2849 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2851 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2852 the 0.9.6 release series:
2854 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2855 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2857 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2859 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2862 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2863 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2865 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2866 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2868 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2869 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2870 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2871 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2873 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2874 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2875 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2877 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2878 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2879 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2880 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2882 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2883 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2884 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2887 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2888 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2889 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2890 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2891 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2892 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2893 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2894 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2897 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2898 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2899 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2902 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2903 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2904 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2905 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2906 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2908 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2909 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2911 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2912 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2915 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2916 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2917 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2918 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2919 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2920 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2923 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2924 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2925 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2928 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2929 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2932 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2933 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2934 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2935 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2936 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2937 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2938 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2941 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2942 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2943 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2944 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2945 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2946 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2949 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2950 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2951 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2952 declaration has been changed from
2955 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2956 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2957 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2958 has been changed into
2959 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2961 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2962 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2963 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2965 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2966 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2968 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2969 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2970 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2971 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2972 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2973 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2974 always load it have also been added.
2977 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2978 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2979 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2981 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2983 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2984 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2985 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2987 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2988 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2989 command line option can be used to specify an
2993 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2994 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2997 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2998 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2999 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3002 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3003 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3004 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3005 to work with the new engine framework.
3006 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3008 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3009 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3010 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3011 to work with the new engine framework.
3014 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3015 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3016 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3018 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3019 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3021 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3022 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3023 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3024 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3026 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3028 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3029 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3031 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3032 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3034 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3035 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3036 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3039 *) Add new functions
3041 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3042 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3043 These are similar to
3046 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3047 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3048 still in the error queue.
3049 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3051 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3053 default_algorithms = ALL
3054 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3057 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3060 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3063 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3064 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3065 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3066 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3068 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3069 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3071 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3072 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3074 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3075 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3078 *) New functions/macros
3080 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3081 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3082 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3083 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3085 to request calling a callback function
3087 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3088 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3090 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3091 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3092 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3093 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3094 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3095 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3096 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3097 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3098 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3099 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3101 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3102 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3105 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3106 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3107 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3108 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3109 the configuration scripts.
3111 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3112 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3113 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3115 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3116 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3118 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3119 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3120 when reusing an existing buffer.
3123 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3124 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3127 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3128 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3131 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3132 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3133 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3134 has the same effect.
3135 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3137 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3138 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3139 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3140 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3141 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3142 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3145 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3146 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3147 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3148 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3150 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3151 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3152 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3153 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3155 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3156 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3159 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3160 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3161 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3162 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3163 default), and then completely removed.
3166 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3167 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3168 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3169 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3170 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3171 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3172 particular extension is supported.
3175 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3176 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3179 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3180 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3181 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3182 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3183 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3184 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3185 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3186 requires the destination to be valid.
3188 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3189 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3192 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3193 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3194 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3197 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3198 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3200 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3201 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3202 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3203 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3204 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3205 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3206 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3207 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3208 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3209 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3210 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3211 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3212 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3213 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3214 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3215 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3216 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3217 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3218 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3222 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3225 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3226 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3227 become part of libeay.num as well.
3230 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3231 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3232 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3233 false once a handshake has been completed.
3234 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3235 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3236 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3237 client has followed the request.)
3240 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3241 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3242 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3243 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3245 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3246 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3247 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3250 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3253 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3254 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3255 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3258 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3259 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3262 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3263 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3264 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3265 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3268 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3269 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3270 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3271 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3272 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3273 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3276 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3277 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3278 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3279 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3280 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3281 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3282 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3283 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3286 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3287 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3290 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3293 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3294 md_data void pointer.
3297 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3298 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3299 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3300 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3301 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3302 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3305 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3306 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3307 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3308 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3309 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3310 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3311 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3312 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3313 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3314 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3315 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3316 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3317 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3318 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3319 rather than letting it slide.
3321 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3322 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3323 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3326 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3327 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3328 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3329 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3330 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3331 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3332 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3333 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3334 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3337 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3338 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3339 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3340 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3341 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3343 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3346 *) Add EVP test program.
3349 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3352 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3353 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3354 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3355 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3356 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3359 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3360 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3361 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3362 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3363 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3364 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3365 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3367 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3368 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3369 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3374 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3375 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3376 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3377 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3378 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3382 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3383 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3384 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3385 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3388 des_key_schedule ks;
3390 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3391 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3393 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3396 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3397 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3398 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3399 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3400 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3401 functions prevents this.
3404 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3407 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3408 correct _ecb suffix.
3411 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3412 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3413 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3414 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3415 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3418 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3421 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3422 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3423 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3424 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3426 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3427 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3429 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3430 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3431 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3432 via Richard Levitte]
3434 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3435 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3436 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3437 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3440 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3443 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3458 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3459 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3461 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3462 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3463 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3464 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3465 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3466 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3469 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3470 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3473 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3474 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3475 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3476 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3478 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3479 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3480 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3481 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3482 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3483 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3487 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3488 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3489 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3490 and interrupts/cancellations.
3493 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3494 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3497 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3498 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3499 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3501 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3502 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3506 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3507 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3508 than this minimum value is recommended.
3511 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3512 that are easily reachable.
3515 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3516 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3518 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3520 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3521 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3522 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3523 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3526 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3527 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3528 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3531 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3532 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3533 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3534 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3535 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3536 internally such as S/MIME.
3538 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3539 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3540 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3542 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3546 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3547 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3548 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3549 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3551 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3553 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3555 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3556 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3557 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3561 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3562 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3563 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3564 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3565 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3566 a window system and the like.
3569 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3570 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3573 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3574 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3575 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3576 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3577 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3578 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3579 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3580 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3581 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3585 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3586 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3590 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3591 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3592 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3593 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3594 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3595 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3596 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3597 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3600 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3601 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3602 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3603 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3604 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3605 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3606 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3607 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3608 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3609 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3610 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3611 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3612 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3613 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3614 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3615 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3616 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3619 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3620 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3621 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3622 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3623 internal engine_int.h header.
3626 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3627 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3628 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3629 modify their own ones).
3632 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3633 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3634 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3635 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3636 later on via ctrl() commands.
3637 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3638 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3639 structural references.
3640 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3641 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3642 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3643 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3644 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3645 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3646 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3647 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3648 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3649 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3650 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3651 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3654 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3655 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3656 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3657 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3658 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3659 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3660 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3661 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3664 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3665 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3668 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3669 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3672 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3673 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3674 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3675 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3676 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3677 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3678 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3681 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3682 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3683 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3684 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3685 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3687 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3688 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
