5 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
8 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
11 *) Not all of this is true any longer.
12 Will have to be updated to reflect all subsequent changes to cryptlib.c.
16 To support arbitrarily-typed thread IDs, deprecate the existing
17 type-specific APIs for a general purpose CRYPTO_THREADID
18 interface. Applications can choose the thread ID
19 callback type it wishes to register, as before;
21 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
22 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
24 but retrieval, copies, and comparisons of thread IDs are via
25 type-independent interfaces;
27 void CRYPTO_THREADID_set(CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
28 void CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id1,
29 const CRYPTO_THREADID *id2);
30 void CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy(CRYPTO_THREADID *dst,
31 const CRYPTO_THREADID *src);
33 Also, for code that needs a thread ID "value" for use in
34 hash-tables or logging, a "hash" is available by;
36 unsigned long CRYPTO_THREADID_hash(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
38 This hash value is likely to be the thread ID anyway, but
39 otherwise it will be unique if possible or as collision-free as
40 possible if uniqueness can't be guaranteed on the target
43 The following functions are deprecated;
44 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
45 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
47 As a consequence of the above, there are similar deprecations of
48 BN_BLINDING functions in favour of CRYPTO_THREADID-based
51 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
52 unsigned long BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id(const BN_BLINDING *);
53 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id(BN_BLINDING *, unsigned long);
55 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread(BN_BLINDING *);
56 int BN_BLINDING_cmp_thread(const BN_BLINDING *, const
59 Also, the ERR_remove_state(int pid) API has been deprecated;
61 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
62 void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid)
64 void ERR_remove_thread_state(CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
68 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
69 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
70 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
71 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
72 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
73 content types and variants.
76 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
79 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
80 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
81 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
82 files from the associated perl scripts.
85 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
86 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
87 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
89 *) s390x assembler pack.
92 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
96 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
97 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
98 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
99 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
100 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
101 to use. For example, specify an option
103 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
105 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
106 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
107 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
108 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
109 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
110 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
112 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
113 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
114 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
115 return non-zero for success.
117 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
120 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
121 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
125 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
128 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
129 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
130 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
131 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
132 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
133 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
134 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
135 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
136 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
138 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
139 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
140 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
141 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
142 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
143 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
145 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
146 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
147 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
148 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
149 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
150 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
154 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
157 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
159 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
160 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
161 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
164 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
165 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
168 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
169 protection in servers so again support should be possible
170 with no application modification.
172 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
173 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
175 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
176 or server extensions to be examined.
178 This work was sponsored by Google.
181 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
182 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
183 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
185 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
186 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
188 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
190 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
191 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
192 to output in BER and PEM format.
195 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
196 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
197 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
198 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
199 -macopt options to dgst utility.
202 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
203 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
204 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
208 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
209 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
210 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
211 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
212 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
213 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
214 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
215 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
218 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
219 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
220 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
221 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
223 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
224 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
225 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
229 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
230 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
231 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
232 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
233 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
234 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
235 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
236 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
237 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
239 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
240 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
241 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
242 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
243 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
244 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
245 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
246 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
247 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
248 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
249 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
252 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
253 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
254 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
256 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
257 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
261 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
262 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
263 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
266 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
267 it yet and it is largely untested.
270 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
273 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
274 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
275 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
278 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
281 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
282 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
283 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
284 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
287 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
288 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
289 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
290 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
291 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
294 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
295 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
298 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
299 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
300 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
301 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
304 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
305 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
306 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
307 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
310 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
311 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
314 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
315 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
316 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
317 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
320 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
321 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
322 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
325 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
329 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
330 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
333 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
334 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
335 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
339 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
340 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
341 to free up any added signature OIDs.
344 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
345 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
346 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
347 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
350 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
351 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
352 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
353 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
354 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
355 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
356 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
357 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
359 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
360 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
361 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
363 we now have additional functions
365 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
366 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
367 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
369 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
370 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
374 -- NOTE -- this change has been reverted and replaced with a
375 type-independent wrapper (ie. applications do not have to check
376 two type-specific thread ID representations as implied in this
377 change note). However, the "idptr" callback form described here
378 can still be registered. Please see the more recent CHANGES note
379 regarding CRYPTO_THREADID. [Geoff Thorpe]
382 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
383 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
384 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
385 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
386 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
387 the array representation useful in a more general context.
390 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
391 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
392 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
393 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
394 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
396 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
397 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
398 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
399 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
400 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
403 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
404 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
405 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
406 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
408 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
409 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
410 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
411 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
412 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
418 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
419 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
423 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
424 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
427 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
428 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
431 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
432 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
433 functional reference processing.
436 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
437 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
441 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
442 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
443 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
446 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
447 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
448 application to support multiple signers.
451 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
455 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
456 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
457 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
458 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
459 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
462 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
466 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
467 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
468 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
469 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
473 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
474 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
475 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
476 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
477 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
478 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
479 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
480 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
483 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
484 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
485 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
486 between digests and public key types.
489 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
490 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
491 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
492 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
495 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
496 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
500 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
503 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
507 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
508 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
509 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
510 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
515 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
517 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
519 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
521 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
522 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
523 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
524 functionality for RSA.
527 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
528 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
529 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
532 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
533 key API, doesn't do much yet.
536 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
537 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
538 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
541 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
542 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
545 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
546 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
549 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
550 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
554 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
555 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
556 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
560 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
561 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
562 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
563 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
564 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
565 of public and private key structures.
568 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
569 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
572 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
573 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
574 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
577 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
581 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
582 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
584 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
586 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
588 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
589 and response verification functionality.
590 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
592 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
593 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
594 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
595 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
596 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
597 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
598 server_name extension.
600 New functions (subject to change):
603 SSL_get_servername_type()
606 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
608 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
609 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
610 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
611 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
612 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
614 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
616 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
617 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
618 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
619 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
620 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
621 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
624 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
626 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
629 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
630 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
631 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
632 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
633 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
636 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
637 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
641 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
642 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
643 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
644 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
647 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
648 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
649 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
650 using the maximum available value.
653 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
654 in addition to the text details.
657 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
658 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
659 handle several customised structures at all.
662 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
663 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
664 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
667 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
670 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
671 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
672 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
675 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
676 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
677 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
680 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
681 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
685 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
688 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
691 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [xx XXX xxxx]
693 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
694 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
697 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
699 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
700 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
701 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
703 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
705 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
706 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
707 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
708 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
711 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
712 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
713 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
714 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
715 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
716 invalid read after the end of 'db').
717 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
719 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
720 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
721 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
722 sets may exist with different names.
725 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
726 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
727 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
728 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
729 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
730 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
731 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
732 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
733 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
735 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
737 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
738 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
739 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
740 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
742 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
743 uncompresses any data passed through it.
746 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
747 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
750 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
751 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
752 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
753 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
754 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
755 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
759 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
760 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

782 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
783 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
784 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
785 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
786 to s_client and s_server.
789 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
792 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
793 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
794 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
795 + Fix ia64 assembler code
796 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
798 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
800 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
801 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
802 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
803 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
804 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
805 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
806 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
807 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
810 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
811 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
812 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
815 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
816 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
817 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
820 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
821 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
824 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
825 protection in servers so again support should be possible
826 with no application modification.
828 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
829 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
831 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
832 or server extensions to be examined.
834 This work was sponsored by Google.
837 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
838 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
839 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
840 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
841 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
842 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
843 server_name extension.
845 New functions (subject to change):
848 SSL_get_servername_type()
851 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
853 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
854 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
855 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
856 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
857 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
859 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
861 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
862 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
863 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
864 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
865 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
866 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
869 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
871 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
874 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
877 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
878 (which previously caused an internal error).
881 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
884 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
885 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
887 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
888 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
889 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
891 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
892 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
893 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
894 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
896 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
897 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
898 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
901 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
902 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
903 information. For detailed background information, see
904 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
905 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
906 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
907 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
908 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
909 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
910 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
911 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
912 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
913 remove a conditional branch.
915 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
916 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
917 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
918 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
919 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
920 remains as a deprecated alias.
922 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
923 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
924 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
925 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
927 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
928 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
929 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
930 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
931 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
932 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
933 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
934 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
936 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
938 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
939 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
940 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
941 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
942 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
943 with applications using a single external cache for quite
944 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
945 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
946 in a different context.
949 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
950 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
951 authentication-only ciphersuites.
954 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
956 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
957 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
958 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
959 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
960 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
963 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
964 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
965 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
966 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
967 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
968 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
971 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
972 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
973 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
974 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
975 message has informed the client about his choice.)
978 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
979 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
981 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
982 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
983 Improve header file function name parsing.
986 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
987 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
990 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
992 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
993 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
994 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
996 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
997 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
999 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1000 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1002 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1003 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1004 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1006 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1007 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1008 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1009 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1010 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1011 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1012 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1013 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1014 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1016 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1017 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1018 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1019 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1020 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1022 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1023 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1024 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1025 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1026 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1027 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1028 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1029 multiple values to extend the available space.
1033 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1035 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1036 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1038 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1041 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1042 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1043 undesirable limitations.
1044 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1046 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1047 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1048 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1049 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1050 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1051 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1052 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1055 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1057 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1058 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1059 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1061 The latter two were purportedly from
1062 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1065 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1066 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1067 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1070 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1071 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1074 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1075 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1076 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1077 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1079 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1080 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1081 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1084 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1085 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1086 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1087 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1088 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1089 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1092 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1094 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1095 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1098 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1099 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1101 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1102 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1103 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1104 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1107 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1108 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1111 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1112 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1113 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1114 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1115 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1116 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1117 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1121 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1122 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1123 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1124 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1127 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1128 under VC++ build system.
1131 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1132 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1135 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1137 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1138 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1139 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1140 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1141 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1143 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1144 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1145 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1147 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1150 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1151 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1154 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1155 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1157 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1160 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1161 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1163 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1164 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1167 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by

1174 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1177 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1180 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1181 key into the same file any more.
1184 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1187 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1188 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1190 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1191 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1194 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1195 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1196 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1197 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1198 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1199 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1201 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1202 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1203 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1206 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1207 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1208 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1209 - add new function for parameter creation
1210 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1211 BN_BLINDING parameters
1212 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1213 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1214 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1218 *) Add support for DTLS.
1219 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1221 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1222 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1225 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1226 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1229 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1230 the apps/openssl applications.
1233 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1234 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1235 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1238 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1239 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1241 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1242 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1244 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1245 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1246 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1247 avoid this algorithm.)
1251 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1252 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1253 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1256 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1257 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1260 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1261 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1262 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1265 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1267 The blank line is mandatory.
1271 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1272 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1276 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1277 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1279 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1280 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1281 to support policy checking and print out.
1284 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1285 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1286 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1287 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1289 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1292 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1293 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1295 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1296 implementation contributed by IBM.
1297 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1299 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1300 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1301 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1302 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1304 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1305 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1307 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1308 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1309 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1310 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1311 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1312 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1315 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1316 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1317 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1318 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1319 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1320 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1321 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1324 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1327 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1328 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1329 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1330 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1331 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1332 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1333 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1334 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1337 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1338 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1339 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1340 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1343 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1346 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1349 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1350 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1351 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1352 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1353 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1354 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1355 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1358 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1359 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1362 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1363 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1364 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1367 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1368 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1369 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1373 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1374 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1377 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1378 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1379 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1380 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1383 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1384 initialised value as BN_new().
1385 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1387 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1390 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1391 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1392 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1393 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1394 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1395 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1396 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1397 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1398 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1399 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1400 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1401 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1402 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1403 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1404 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1406 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1407 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1408 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1409 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1412 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1413 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1414 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1415 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1416 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1417 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1418 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1419 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1420 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1423 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1424 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1425 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1426 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1427 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1428 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1429 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1432 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1433 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1434 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1435 these have been updated also.
1438 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1439 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1440 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1441 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1442 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1446 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1447 structure of type "other".
1450 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1451 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1452 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1453 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1454 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1455 situation in the script.
1456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1458 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1459 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1460 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1461 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1462 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1463 used as premaster secret.
1464 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1466 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1467 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1468 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1470 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1471 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1473 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1474 control of the error stack.
1477 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1480 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1481 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1482 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1483 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1486 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1487 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1488 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1491 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1492 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1493 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1497 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1498 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1499 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1500 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1503 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1504 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1505 the following flags are defined:
1507 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1508 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1509 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1512 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1513 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1514 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1515 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1519 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1520 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1521 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1522 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1523 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1526 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1527 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1528 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1531 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1532 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1533 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1534 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1535 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1536 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1539 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1543 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1546 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1549 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1552 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1553 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1554 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1555 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1556 default implementation more easily.
1559 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1563 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1564 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1567 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1568 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1569 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1570 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1572 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1573 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1574 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1575 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1578 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1579 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1583 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1584 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1585 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1586 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1587 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1588 scalar * generator).
1589 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1591 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1592 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1593 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1597 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1598 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1599 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1600 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1601 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1602 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1603 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1604 linker additions, eg;
1605 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1608 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1609 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1610 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1613 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1614 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1615 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1619 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1620 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1621 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1622 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1625 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1626 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1627 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1628 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1629 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1630 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1631 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1632 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1633 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1634 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1636 Example for using the new callback interface:
1638 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1642 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1644 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1645 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1646 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1647 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1648 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1649 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1654 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1655 available to TLS with the number defined in
1656 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1659 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1660 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1662 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1663 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1664 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1665 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1667 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1668 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1670 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1671 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1675 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1676 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1679 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1680 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1681 and a macro that behave like
1682 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1684 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1687 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1688 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1689 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1691 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1693 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1696 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1697 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1698 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1699 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1701 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1702 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1703 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1704 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1705 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1706 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1707 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1708 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1710 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1711 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1714 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1715 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1717 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1718 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1719 files while avoiding the low level API.
1721 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1722 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1723 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1724 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1726 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1727 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1728 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1729 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1730 instead of the low level API.
1733 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1734 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1735 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1736 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1737 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1740 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1741 down to the template encoder.
1744 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1745 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1748 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1749 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1750 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1751 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1753 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1754 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1756 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1757 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1759 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1760 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1763 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1764 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1765 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1768 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1769 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1771 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1772 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1774 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1775 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1778 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1782 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1783 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1784 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1785 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1786 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1787 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1789 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1790 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1793 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1794 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1795 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1796 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1797 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1798 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1799 various internal method names.)
1801 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1802 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1804 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1805 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1807 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1808 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1810 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1811 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1812 methods are undefined.
1814 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1815 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1817 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1818 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1819 length of the modulus.
1821 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1822 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1824 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1825 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1827 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1828 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1830 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1831 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1832 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1835 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1836 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1837 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1838 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1840 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1841 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1842 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1843 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1845 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1846 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1848 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1849 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1850 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1851 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1852 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1854 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1855 This applies to the following functions:
1860 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1861 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1863 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1864 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1868 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1873 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1875 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1876 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1877 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1878 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1879 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1881 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1882 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1884 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1885 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1886 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1888 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1889 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1891 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1892 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1893 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1894 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1895 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1897 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1899 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1900 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1901 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1902 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1903 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1904 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1905 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1906 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1907 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1908 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1909 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1910 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1912 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1915 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1916 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1917 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1918 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1920 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1921 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1922 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1923 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1928 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1929 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1930 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1931 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1932 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1934 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1935 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1936 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1937 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1938 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1939 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1940 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1941 adding different types of curves.
1942 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1944 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1945 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1946 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1949 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1950 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1952 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1953 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1954 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1955 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1957 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1959 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1960 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1962 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1963 library. Most notably,
1964 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1965 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1966 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1967 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1968 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1969 extracted before the specific public key;
1970 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1971 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1973 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1974 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1976 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1977 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1978 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1979 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1981 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1982 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1983 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1985 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1986 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1987 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1988 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1989 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1990 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1994 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1996 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1997 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1998 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1999 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2000 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2001 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2002 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2003 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2004 in a different context.
2007 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2009 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2011 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2013 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2014 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2015 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2018 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2019 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2020 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2023 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2026 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2027 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2030 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2031 run algorithm test programs.
2034 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2037 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2038 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2039 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2040 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2041 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2044 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2045 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2048 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2050 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2051 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2052 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2054 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2055 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2057 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2058 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2060 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2061 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2062 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2064 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2065 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2066 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2067 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2068 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2069 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2070 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2073 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2075 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2076 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2078 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2079 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2080 undesirable limitations.
2081 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2083 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2085 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2086 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2087 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2089 The latter two were purportedly from
2090 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2093 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2094 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2095 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2098 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2099 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2102 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2104 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2105 module in FIPS mode.
2108 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2111 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2112 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2113 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2114 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2117 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2119 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2120 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2121 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2122 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2123 the difference induced by this change.
2126 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2128 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2129 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2130 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2131 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2132 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2134 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2135 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2136 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2138 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2139 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2142 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2143 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2144 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2145 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2149 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2150 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2151 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2152 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2153 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2155 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2156 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2157 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2158 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2159 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2160 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2162 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2164 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2165 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2166 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2167 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2168 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2171 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2175 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2176 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2177 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2180 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2181 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2182 structures constant.
2185 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2187 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2190 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2191 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2192 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2193 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2194 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2195 some needed definitions.
2198 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2201 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2202 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2203 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2204 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2207 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2209 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2210 server and client random values. Previously
2211 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2212 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2214 This change has negligible security impact because:
2216 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2219 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2222 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2223 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2226 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2229 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2231 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2234 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2235 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2236 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2238 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2241 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2242 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2245 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2246 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2247 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2249 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2252 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2253 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2254 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2258 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2259 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2260 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2261 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2263 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2264 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2265 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2266 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2270 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2272 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2273 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2274 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2275 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2276 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2279 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2282 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2283 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2285 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2286 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2287 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2288 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2289 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2290 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2291 rather than being initialized to 1.
2294 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2296 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2297 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2298 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2300 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2302 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2304 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2305 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2306 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2307 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2308 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2309 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2312 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2313 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2314 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2315 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2316 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2320 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2321 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2322 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2323 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2324 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2327 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2328 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2329 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2333 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2334 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2336 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2339 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2341 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2343 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2344 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2346 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2348 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2349 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2353 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2354 exiting on the first error in a request.
2357 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2358 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2362 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2363 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2364 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2365 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2367 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2368 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2371 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2372 blocks during encryption.
2375 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2376 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2377 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2378 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2382 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2383 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2384 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2385 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2386 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2390 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2392 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2393 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2394 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2395 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2398 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2399 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2400 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2401 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2402 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2404 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2405 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2406 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2407 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2408 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2409 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2410 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2411 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2412 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2415 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2416 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2417 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2418 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2421 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2422 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2425 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2427 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2428 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2429 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2430 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2431 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2433 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2434 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2435 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2437 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2438 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2439 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2440 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2441 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2443 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2444 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2445 used by default when no-err is given.
2448 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2449 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2451 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2452 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2453 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2454 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2455 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2457 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2458 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2459 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2460 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2462 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2464 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2466 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2468 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2469 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2470 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2471 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2475 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2476 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2478 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2479 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2482 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2483 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2484 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2485 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2488 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2489 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2490 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2491 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2492 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2493 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2494 followup to PR #377.
2497 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2498 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2501 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2502 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2503 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2504 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2506 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2508 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2511 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2512 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2513 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2514 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2516 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2520 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2521 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2525 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2526 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2527 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2528 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2529 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2530 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2532 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2533 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2534 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2535 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2536 have to be made anyway).
2539 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2540 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2541 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2544 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2545 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2546 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2549 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2550 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2551 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2553 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2554 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2555 edit numbers of the version.
2556 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2558 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2559 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2560 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2562 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2563 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2565 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2566 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2567 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2569 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2570 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2572 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2573 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2575 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2576 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2578 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2579 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2581 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2583 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2585 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2586 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2587 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2589 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2590 representations in a platform independent manner.
2591 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2593 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2594 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2595 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2597 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2599 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2601 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2602 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2604 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2606 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2608 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2609 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.

2612 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2614 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2616 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2617 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2619 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2620 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2622 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2623 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2625 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

2628 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2630 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2632 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2633 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2635 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

2638 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2639 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2641 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2643 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2644 the 0.9.6 release series:
2646 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2647 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2649 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2651 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2654 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2655 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2657 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2658 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2660 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2661 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2662 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2663 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2665 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2666 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2667 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2669 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2670 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2671 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2672 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2674 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2675 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2676 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2679 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2680 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2681 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2682 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2683 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2684 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2685 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2686 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2689 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2690 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2691 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2694 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2695 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2696 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2697 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2698 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2700 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2701 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2703 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2704 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2707 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2708 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2709 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2710 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2711 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2712 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2715 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2716 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2717 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2720 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2721 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2724 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2725 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2726 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2727 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2728 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2729 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2730 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2733 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2734 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2735 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2736 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2737 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2738 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2741 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2742 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2743 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2744 declaration has been changed from
2747 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2748 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2749 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2750 has been changed into
2751 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2753 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2754 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2755 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2757 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2758 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2760 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2761 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2762 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2763 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2764 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2765 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2766 always load it have also been added.
2769 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2770 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2771 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2773 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2775 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2776 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2777 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2779 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2780 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2781 command line option can be used to specify an
2785 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2786 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2789 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2790 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2791 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2794 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2795 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2796 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2797 to work with the new engine framework.
2798 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2800 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2801 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2802 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2803 to work with the new engine framework.
2806 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2807 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2808 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2810 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2811 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2813 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2814 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2815 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2816 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2818 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2820 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2821 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2823 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2824 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2826 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2827 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2828 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2831 *) Add new functions
2833 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2834 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2835 These are similar to
2838 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2839 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2840 still in the error queue.
2841 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2843 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2845 default_algorithms = ALL
2846 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2849 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2852 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2855 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2856 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2857 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2858 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2860 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2861 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2863 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2864 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2866 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2867 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2870 *) New functions/macros
2872 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2873 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2874 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2875 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2877 to request calling a callback function
2879 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2880 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2882 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2883 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2884 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2885 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2886 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2887 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2888 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2889 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2890 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2891 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2893 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2894 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2897 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2898 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2899 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2900 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2901 the configuration scripts.
2903 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2904 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2905 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2907 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2908 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2910 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2911 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2912 when reusing an existing buffer.
2915 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2916 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2919 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2920 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2923 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2924 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2925 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2926 has the same effect.
2927 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2929 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2930 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2931 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2932 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2933 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2934 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2937 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2938 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2939 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2940 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2942 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2943 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2944 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2945 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2947 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2948 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2951 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2952 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2953 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2954 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2955 default), and then completely removed.
2958 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2959 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2960 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2961 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2962 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2963 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2964 particular extension is supported.
2967 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2968 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2971 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2972 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2973 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2974 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2975 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2976 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2977 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2978 requires the destination to be valid.
2980 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2981 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2984 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2985 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2986 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2989 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2990 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2992 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2993 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2994 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2995 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2996 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2997 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2998 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2999 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3000 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3001 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3002 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3003 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3004 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3005 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3006 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3007 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3008 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3009 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3010 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3014 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3017 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3018 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3019 become part of libeay.num as well.
3022 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3023 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3024 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3025 false once a handshake has been completed.
3026 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3027 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3028 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3029 client has followed the request.)
3032 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3033 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3034 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3035 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3037 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3038 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3039 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3042 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3045 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3046 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3047 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3050 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3051 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3054 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3055 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3056 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3057 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3060 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3061 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3062 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3063 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3064 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3065 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3068 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3069 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3070 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3071 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3072 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3073 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3074 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3075 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3078 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3079 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3082 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3085 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3086 md_data void pointer.
3089 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3090 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3091 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3092 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3093 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3094 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3097 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3098 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3099 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3100 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3101 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3102 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3103 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3104 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3105 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3106 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3107 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3108 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3109 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3110 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3111 rather than letting it slide.
3113 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3114 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3115 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3118 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3119 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3120 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3121 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3122 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3123 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3124 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3125 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3126 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3129 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3130 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3131 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3132 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3133 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3135 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3138 *) Add EVP test program.
3141 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3144 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3145 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3146 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3147 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3148 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3151 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3152 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3153 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3154 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3155 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3156 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3157 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3159 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3160 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3161 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3166 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3167 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3168 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3169 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3170 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3174 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3175 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3176 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3177 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3180 des_key_schedule ks;
3182 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3183 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3185 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3188 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3189 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3190 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3191 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3192 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3193 functions prevents this.
3196 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3199 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3200 correct _ecb suffix.
3203 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3204 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3205 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3206 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3207 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3210 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3213 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3214 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3215 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3216 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3218 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3219 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3221 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3222 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3223 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3224 via Richard Levitte]
3226 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3227 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3228 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3229 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3232 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3235 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3236 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3250 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3251 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3253 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3254 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3255 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3256 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3257 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3258 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3261 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3262 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3265 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3266 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3267 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3268 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3270 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3271 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3272 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3273 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3274 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3275 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3279 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3280 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3281 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3282 and interrupts/cancellations.
3285 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3286 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3289 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3290 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3291 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3293 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3294 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3298 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3299 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3300 than this minimum value is recommended.
3303 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3304 that are easily reachable.
3307 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3308 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3310 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3312 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3313 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3314 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3315 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3318 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3319 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3320 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3323 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3324 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3325 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3326 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3327 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3328 internally such as S/MIME.
3330 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3331 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3332 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3334 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3338 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3339 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3340 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3341 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3343 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3345 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3347 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3348 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3349 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3353 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3354 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3355 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3356 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3357 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3358 a window system and the like.
3361 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3362 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3365 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3366 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3367 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3368 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3369 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3370 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3371 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3372 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3373 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3377 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3378 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3382 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3383 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3384 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3385 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3386 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3387 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3388 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3389 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3392 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3393 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3394 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3395 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3396 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3397 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3398 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3399 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3400 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3401 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3402 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3403 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3404 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3405 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3406 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3407 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3408 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3411 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3412 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3413 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3414 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3415 internal engine_int.h header.
3418 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3419 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3420 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3421 modify their own ones).
3424 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3425 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3426 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3427 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3428 later on via ctrl() commands.
3429 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3430 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3431 structural references.
3432 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3433 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3434 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3435 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3436 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3437 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3438 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3439 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3440 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3441 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3442 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3443 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3446 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3447 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3448 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3449 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3450 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3451 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3452 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3453 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3456 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3457 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3460 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3461 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3464 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3465 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3466 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3467 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3468 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3469 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3470 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3473 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3474 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3475 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3476 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3477 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3479 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3480 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3484 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3486 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3487 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3488 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3490 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3491 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3493 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3494 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3495 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3497 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3498 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3500 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3501 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3503 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3505 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3506 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3507 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3510 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3511 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3514 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3515 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3516 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3517 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3518 is 40 of more characters long.
3521 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3522 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3526 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3527 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3530 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3531 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3535 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3537 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3538 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3541 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3543 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3544 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3545 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3547 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3548 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3550 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3553 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3557 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3558 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3559 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3560 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3562 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3564 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.

3567 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3568 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3569 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3570 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3571 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3572 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3574 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3575 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3577 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3578 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3580 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3581 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3583 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3584 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3585 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3586 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3588 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3589 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3591 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3592 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3594 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3595 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3596 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3597 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3598 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3601 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3602 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3603 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3604 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3607 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3608 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3609 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3613 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3614 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3615 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3616 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3617 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3618 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3619 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3620 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3624 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3625 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3628 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3629 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3630 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3631 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3634 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3635 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3636 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3637 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3638 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3639 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3640 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3641 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3642 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3643 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3646 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3647 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3648 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3649 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3650 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3651 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3652 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3653 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3655 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3656 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3657 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3658 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3661 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3662 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3663 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3664 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3666 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3667 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3668 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3669 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3670 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3674 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3675 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3676 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3677 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
