5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
8 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
9 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
10 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
12 *) Add ECDH engine support.
13 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
15 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
16 TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
17 TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
18 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
20 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
21 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
24 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
25 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
26 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
29 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
30 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
32 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
33 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
35 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
36 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
43 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
44 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
45 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
46 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
47 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
48 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
50 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
51 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
54 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
55 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
56 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
57 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
58 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
59 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
60 various internal method names.)
62 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
63 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
65 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
66 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
68 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
69 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
71 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
72 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
73 methods are undefined.
75 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
76 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
78 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
79 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
80 length of the modulus.
82 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
83 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
85 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
86 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
88 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
89 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
91 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
92 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
93 used) in the following functions [macros]:
96 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
97 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
98 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
99 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
101 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
102 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
103 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
104 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
106 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
107 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
109 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
110 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
111 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
112 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
113 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
115 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
116 This applies to the following functions:
121 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
122 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
125 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
129 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
134 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
136 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
137 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
138 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
139 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
140 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
142 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
143 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
145 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
146 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
147 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
149 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
150 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
152 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
153 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
154 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
155 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
156 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
158 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
160 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
161 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
162 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
163 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
164 These control ASN1 encoding details:
165 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
166 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
167 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
168 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
169 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
170 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
171 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
173 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
177 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
178 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
179 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
181 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
182 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
183 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
184 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
191 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
192 EC_POINT_oct2point().
193 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
195 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
196 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
197 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
199 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
200 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
201 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
202 adding different types of curves.
203 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
205 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
206 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
207 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
210 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
211 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
213 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
214 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
215 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
216 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
218 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
220 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
221 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
223 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
224 library. Most notably,
225 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
226 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
227 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
228 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
229 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
230 extracted before the specific public key;
231 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
232 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
234 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
235 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
237 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
238 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
242 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
244 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
246 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
247 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
249 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
252 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
253 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
254 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
255 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
257 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
258 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
259 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
261 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
262 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
263 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
264 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
266 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
267 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
268 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
271 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
272 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
273 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
274 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
275 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
276 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
277 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
278 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
281 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
282 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
283 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
286 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
287 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
288 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
289 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
290 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
292 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
293 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
295 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
296 error in AES-CFB decryption.
299 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
300 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
301 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
302 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
303 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
304 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
307 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
308 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
309 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
312 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
313 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
316 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
317 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
318 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
319 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
320 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
321 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
322 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
325 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
326 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
327 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
328 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
329 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
330 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
333 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
334 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
335 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
336 declaration has been changed from
339 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
340 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
341 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
342 has been changed into
343 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
345 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
346 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
347 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
349 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
350 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
352 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
353 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
354 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
355 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
356 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
357 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
358 always load it have also been added.
361 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
362 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
363 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
365 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
367 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
368 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
369 because it couldn't be used for anything.
371 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
372 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
373 command line option can be used to specify an
377 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
378 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
381 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
382 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
383 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
386 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
387 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
388 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
389 to work with the new engine framework.
390 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
392 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
393 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
394 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
395 to work with the new engine framework.
398 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
399 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
400 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
402 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
403 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
405 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
406 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
407 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
408 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
410 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
412 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
413 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
415 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
416 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
418 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
419 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
420 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
425 ERR_peek_last_error_line
426 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
430 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
431 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
432 still in the error queue.
433 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
435 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
437 default_algorithms = ALL
438 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
441 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
444 *) New experimental application configuration code.
447 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
448 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
449 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
450 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
452 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
453 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
455 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
456 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
458 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
459 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
462 *) New functions/macros
464 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
465 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
466 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
467 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
469 to request calling a callback function
471 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
472 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
474 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
475 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
476 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
477 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
478 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
479 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
480 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
481 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
482 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
483 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
485 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
486 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
489 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
490 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
491 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
492 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
493 the configuration scripts.
495 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
496 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
497 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
499 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
500 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
502 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
503 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
504 when reusing an existing buffer.
507 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
508 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
511 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
512 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
515 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
516 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
517 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
519 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
521 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
522 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
523 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
524 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
525 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
526 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
529 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
530 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
531 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
532 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
534 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
535 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
536 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
537 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
539 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
540 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
543 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
544 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
545 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
546 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
547 default), and then completely removed.
550 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
551 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
552 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
553 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
554 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
555 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
556 particular extension is supported.
559 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
560 to retain compatibility with existing code.
563 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
564 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
565 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
566 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
567 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
568 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
569 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
570 requires the destination to be valid.
572 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
573 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
576 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
577 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
578 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
581 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
582 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
584 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
585 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
586 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
587 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
588 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
589 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
590 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
591 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
592 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
593 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
594 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
595 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
596 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
597 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
598 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
599 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
600 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
601 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
602 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
606 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
609 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
610 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
611 become part of libeay.num as well.
614 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
615 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
616 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
617 false once a handshake has been completed.
618 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
619 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
620 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
621 client has followed the request.)
624 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
625 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
626 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
627 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
629 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
630 more bits available for options that should not be part of
631 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
634 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
637 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
638 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
639 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
642 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
643 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
646 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
647 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
648 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
649 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
652 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
653 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
654 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
655 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
656 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
657 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
660 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
661 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
662 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
663 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
664 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
665 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
666 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
667 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
670 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
671 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
674 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
677 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
678 md_data void pointer.
681 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
682 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
683 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
684 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
685 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
686 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
689 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
690 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
691 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
692 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
693 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
694 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
695 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
696 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
697 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
698 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
699 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
700 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
701 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
702 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
703 rather than letting it slide.
705 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
706 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
707 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
710 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
711 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
712 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
713 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
714 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
715 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
716 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
717 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
718 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
721 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
722 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
723 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
724 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
725 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
727 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
730 *) Add EVP test program.
733 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
736 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
737 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
738 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
739 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
740 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
743 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
744 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
745 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
746 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
747 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
748 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
749 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
751 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
752 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
753 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
758 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
759 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
760 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
761 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
762 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
766 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
767 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
768 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
769 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
774 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
775 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
777 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
780 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
781 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
782 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
783 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
784 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
785 functions prevents this.
788 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
791 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
795 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
796 revocation information is handled using the text based index
797 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
798 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
799 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
802 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
805 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
806 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
807 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
808 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
810 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
811 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
813 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
814 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
815 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
818 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
819 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
820 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
821 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
824 *) Speed up EVP routines.
827 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

842 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
843 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
845 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
846 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
847 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
848 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
849 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
850 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
853 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
854 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
857 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
858 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
859 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
860 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
862 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
863 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
864 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
865 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
866 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
867 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
871 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
872 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
873 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
874 and interrupts/cancellations.
877 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
878 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
881 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
882 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
883 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
885 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
886 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
890 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
891 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
892 than this minimum value is recommended.
895 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
896 that are easily reachable.
899 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
900 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
902 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
904 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
905 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
906 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
907 needed for static libraries under Win32.
910 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
911 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
912 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
915 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
916 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
917 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
918 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
919 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
920 internally such as S/MIME.
922 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
923 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
924 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
926 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
930 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
931 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
932 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
933 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
935 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
937 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
939 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
940 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
941 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
945 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
946 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
947 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
948 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
949 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
950 a window system and the like.
953 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
954 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
957 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
958 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
959 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
960 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
961 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
962 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
963 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
964 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
965 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
969 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
970 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
974 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
975 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
976 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
977 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
978 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
979 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
980 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
981 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
984 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
985 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
986 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
987 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
988 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
989 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
990 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
991 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
992 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
993 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
994 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
995 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
996 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
997 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
998 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
999 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1000 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1003 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1004 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1005 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1006 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1007 internal engine_int.h header.
1010 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1011 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1012 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1013 modify their own ones).
1016 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1017 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1018 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1019 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1020 later on via ctrl() commands.
1021 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1022 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1023 structural references.
1024 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1025 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1026 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1027 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1028 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1029 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1030 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1031 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1032 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1033 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1034 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1035 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1038 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1039 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1040 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1041 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1042 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1043 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1044 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1045 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1048 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1049 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1052 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1053 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1056 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1057 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1058 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1059 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1060 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1061 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1062 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1065 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1066 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1067 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1068 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1069 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1071 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1072 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1076 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1078 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1079 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1080 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1082 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1083 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1085 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1086 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1087 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1089 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1090 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1092 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1093 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1095 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1097 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1098 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1099 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1102 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1103 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1106 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1107 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1108 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1109 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1110 is 40 of more characters long.
1113 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1114 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1118 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1119 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1122 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1123 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1127 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1129 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1130 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1133 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1135 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1136 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1137 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1139 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1140 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1142 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1145 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1149 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1150 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1151 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1152 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1154 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1156 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1157 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1159 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1160 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1161 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1162 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1163 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1164 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1166 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1167 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1169 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1170 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1172 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1173 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1175 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1176 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1177 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1178 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1180 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1181 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1183 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1184 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1186 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1187 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1188 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1189 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1190 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1193 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1194 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1195 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1196 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1199 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1200 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1201 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1205 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1206 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1207 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1208 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1209 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1210 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1211 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1212 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1216 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1217 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1220 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1221 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1222 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1223 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1226 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1227 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1228 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1229 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1230 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1231 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1232 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1233 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1234 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1235 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1238 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1239 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1240 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1241 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1242 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1243 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1244 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1245 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1247 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1248 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1249 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1250 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1253 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1254 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1255 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1256 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1258 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1259 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1260 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1261 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1262 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1266 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1267 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1268 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1269 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1273 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1274 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1275 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1278 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1279 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1280 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1281 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1282 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1285 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1288 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1289 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1290 option to ocsp utility.
1293 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1294 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1295 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1296 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1297 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1298 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1299 the request is nonce-less.
1302 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1303 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1304 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1307 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1308 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1309 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1312 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1313 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1314 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1315 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1316 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1319 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1320 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1324 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1325 additional certificates supplied.
1328 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1329 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1333 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1334 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1337 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1338 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1339 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1340 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1341 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1342 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1343 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1344 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1345 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1347 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1348 request to response.
1351 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1352 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1353 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1354 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1355 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1356 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1357 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1358 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1359 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1360 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1361 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1364 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1365 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1366 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1367 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1370 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1371 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1373 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1374 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1375 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1378 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1379 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1380 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1381 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1382 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1384 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1385 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1386 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1389 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1390 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1391 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1392 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1393 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1394 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1395 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1396 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1398 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1399 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1400 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1401 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1402 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1403 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1406 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1407 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1408 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1409 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1410 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1411 printout format cleaned up.
1414 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1415 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1416 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1417 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1418 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1419 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1420 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1421 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1424 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1425 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1426 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1427 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1428 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1429 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1430 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1431 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1434 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1435 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1436 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1437 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1439 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1441 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1442 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1443 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1444 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1447 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1448 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1449 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1450 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1452 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1454 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1455 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1456 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1457 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1459 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1460 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1462 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1463 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1464 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1467 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1468 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1469 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1472 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1473 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1474 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1475 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1476 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1477 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1478 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1479 functions are provided:
1481 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1482 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1483 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1484 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1486 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1487 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1488 extended allocation function is enabled.
1489 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1490 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1491 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1493 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1494 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1495 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1496 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1497 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1500 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1501 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1502 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1504 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1505 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1506 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1509 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1510 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1511 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1512 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1513 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1514 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1515 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1516 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1517 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1520 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1521 provide utility functions which an application needing
1522 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1523 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1524 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1526 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1527 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1528 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1529 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1530 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1531 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1532 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1533 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1534 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1536 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1537 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1538 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1539 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1542 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1543 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1544 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1545 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1546 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1547 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1548 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1549 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1550 will be added elsewhere.
1553 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1554 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1555 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1556 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1559 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1560 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1561 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1562 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1563 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1564 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1565 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1566 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1567 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1568 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1569 to produce the required SET OF.
1572 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1573 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1574 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1577 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1578 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1579 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1580 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1581 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1582 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1585 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1586 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1587 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1590 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1591 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1592 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1595 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1596 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1597 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1598 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1599 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1602 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1603 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1606 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1607 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1608 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1609 certifcates and CRLs.
1612 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1613 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1614 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1617 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1618 entries for variables.
1621 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1622 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1623 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1624 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1627 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1628 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1629 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1630 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1631 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1632 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1635 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1636 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1638 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1639 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1640 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1643 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1647 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1648 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1649 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1650 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1651 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1652 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1655 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1658 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1659 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1660 for now but they will eventually go away.
1663 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1664 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1665 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1666 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1667 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1668 has also been converted to the new form.
1671 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1672 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1673 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1674 for negative moduli.
1677 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1678 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1681 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1685 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1686 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1687 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1688 type-specific callbacks.
1691 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1693 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1694 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1696 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1697 in sections depending on the subject.
1700 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1704 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1705 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1706 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1707 be handled deterministically).
1708 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1710 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1711 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1712 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1715 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1718 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1719 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1720 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1721 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1722 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1725 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1726 sign of the number in question.
1728 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1730 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1731 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1732 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1733 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1734 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1737 *) New function BN_swap.
1740 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1741 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1742 results on negative inputs.
1745 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1746 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1747 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1750 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1751 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1752 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1753 and add new functions:
1762 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1766 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1768 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1769 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1771 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1772 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1773 be reduced modulo m.
1774 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1776 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1777 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1778 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1779 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1780 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1781 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1785 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1786 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1787 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1788 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1789 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1791 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1792 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1793 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1797 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1800 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1801 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1804 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1805 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1806 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1807 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1811 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1814 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1817 *) Add the following functions:
1819 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1821 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1823 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1825 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1826 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1827 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1828 libraries unless it's really needed.
1830 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1831 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1832 declarations (they differed!).
1835 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1838 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1841 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1844 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1845 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1848 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1849 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1850 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1852 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1853 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1856 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1859 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1862 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1865 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1866 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1867 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1869 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1870 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1871 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1872 different shared library filenames on each system.
1875 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1878 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1879 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1880 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1882 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1885 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1886 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1887 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1888 binary backward compatibility.
1889 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1890 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1891 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1895 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1896 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1897 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1898 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1902 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1905 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1906 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1907 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1908 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1912 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1915 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [xx XXX xxxx]
1917 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
1918 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
1919 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
1920 (see [openssl.org #212]).
1921 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1923 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
1924 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
1927 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
1929 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
1930 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
1931 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
1933 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1935 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1936 and get fix the header length calculation.
1937 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1938 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1941 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1942 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1943 assertions could call abort()).
1944 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1946 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1948 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1949 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1950 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1952 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1954 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1955 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1956 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1959 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1963 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1964 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1965 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1967 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1968 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1969 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1970 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1971 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1975 *) Changes in security patch:
1977 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1978 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1979 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1982 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1983 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1984 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1985 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1986 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1988 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
1990 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1992 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1993 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1994 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
1996 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1997 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1999 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2001 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2002 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2003 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2005 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2006 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2007 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2009 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2011 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2012 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2013 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2015 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2016 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2018 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2019 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2020 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2021 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2022 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2023 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2026 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2027 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2028 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2029 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2032 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2035 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2036 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2037 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2038 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2039 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2040 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2042 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2043 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2044 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2045 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2046 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2049 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2050 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2051 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2052 BN_generate_prime().)
2054 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2055 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2056 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2060 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2061 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2064 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2065 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2066 when using non-blocking I/O.
2067 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2069 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2070 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2072 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2073 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2076 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2077 configuration for the versions before that.
2078 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2080 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2081 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2082 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2083 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2086 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2087 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2088 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2091 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2095 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2096 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2098 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2099 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2100 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2102 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2103 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2104 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2105 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2106 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2107 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2108 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2111 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2112 using a local variable.
2113 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2115 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2116 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2117 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2119 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2122 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2123 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2125 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2126 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2127 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2129 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2131 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2132 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2133 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2134 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2137 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2141 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2142 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2143 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2144 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2145 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2147 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2148 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2149 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2151 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2152 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2153 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2155 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2156 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2157 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2158 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2160 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2161 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2162 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2164 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2166 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2167 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2169 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2171 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2172 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2173 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2174 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2176 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2177 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2178 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2179 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2181 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2182 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2184 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2185 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2186 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2189 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2190 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2191 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2193 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2195 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2196 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2197 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2198 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2199 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2200 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2201 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2204 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2205 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2206 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2207 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2209 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2210 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2211 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2212 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2213 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2214 the client will at least see that alert.
2217 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2221 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2222 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2223 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2225 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2226 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2227 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2228 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2231 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2232 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2233 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2235 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2236 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2237 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2238 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2239 may leak via logfiles.)
2241 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2242 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2243 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2244 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2248 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2249 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2252 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2253 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2254 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2255 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2256 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2259 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2260 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2262 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2263 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2264 followed by modular reduction.
2265 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2267 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2268 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2271 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2272 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2273 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2274 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2277 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2280 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2281 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2284 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2285 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2286 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2287 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2288 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2289 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2291 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2293 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2294 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2295 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2296 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2297 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2299 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2302 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2303 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2304 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2305 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2306 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2307 to allow the necessary settings.
2310 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2311 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2312 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2313 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2316 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2317 dh->length and always used
2319 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2321 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2322 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2323 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2324 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2325 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2330 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2332 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2338 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2339 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2340 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2341 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2343 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2344 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2345 always reject numbers >= n.
2348 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2349 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2350 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2351 variable) is not atomic.
2354 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2355 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2356 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2357 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2359 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2360 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2362 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2364 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2366 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2369 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2371 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2372 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2373 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2374 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2375 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2376 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2377 to traverse all of 'state'.
2379 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2380 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2381 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2383 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2384 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2386 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2387 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2388 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2389 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2390 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2391 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2392 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2393 further strengthens the PRNG.
2396 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2399 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2400 an error message in this case.
2403 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2406 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2407 positive and less than q.
2410 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2411 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2413 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2415 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2416 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2420 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2422 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2423 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2424 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2425 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2426 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2427 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2428 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2431 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2432 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2433 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2434 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2436 Both problems are now fixed.
2439 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2440 (previously it was 1024).
2443 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2444 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2447 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2450 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2451 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2452 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2455 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2456 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2457 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2458 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2459 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2460 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2461 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2462 environment variables.
2464 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2465 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2466 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2469 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2470 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2471 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2472 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2473 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2474 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2477 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2481 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2483 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2484 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2486 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2487 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2488 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2489 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2493 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2494 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2495 amount of data available.
2496 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2497 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2499 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2500 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2501 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2502 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2505 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2506 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2510 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2511 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2512 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2513 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2516 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2519 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2522 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2523 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2525 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2527 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2528 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2529 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2530 (but broken) behaviour.
2533 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2535 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2537 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2538 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2541 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2545 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2546 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2548 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2551 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2552 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2553 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2555 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2556 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2557 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2560 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2561 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2564 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2565 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2567 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2569 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2571 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2572 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2573 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2574 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2577 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2580 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2581 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2582 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2584 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2587 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2589 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2590 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2591 but the code is actually correct.
2594 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2595 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2596 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2597 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2598 and leaves the highest bit random.
2599 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2601 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2602 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2603 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2604 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2605 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2606 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2607 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2610 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2613 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2614 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2617 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2618 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2619 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2620 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2624 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2625 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2626 and break the signature.
2628 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2630 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2634 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2635 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2636 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2637 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2638 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2641 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2642 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2644 *) ./config script fixes.
2645 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2647 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2650 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2651 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2652 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2653 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2654 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2656 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2657 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2660 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2661 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2664 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2665 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2666 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2667 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2669 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2670 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2672 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2673 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2674 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2675 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2676 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2678 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2681 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2684 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2687 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2690 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2691 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2694 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2695 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2696 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2697 result of the server certificate verification.)
2700 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2701 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2702 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2706 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2707 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2708 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2709 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2710 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2711 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2712 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2713 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2716 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2717 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2718 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2719 happening the other way round.
2722 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2723 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2726 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2727 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2728 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2729 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2732 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2733 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2735 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2737 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2738 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2739 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2742 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2744 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2746 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2750 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2752 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2753 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2754 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2755 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2756 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2758 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2759 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2763 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2766 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2768 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2769 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2770 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2771 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2772 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2773 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2774 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2775 by the Finished messages.
2778 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2779 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2781 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2782 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2783 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2784 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2785 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2789 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2790 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2791 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2792 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2793 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2794 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2795 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2796 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2797 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2801 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2802 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2803 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2804 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2806 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2807 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2808 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2809 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2810 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2813 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2814 been tested well enough.
2817 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2818 it can return incorrect results.
2819 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2820 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2823 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2824 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2825 include zero length content when signing messages.
2828 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2829 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2832 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2835 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2839 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2840 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2841 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2842 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2843 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2844 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2847 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2848 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2850 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2851 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2853 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2854 random number < q in the DSA library.
2857 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2858 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2859 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2860 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2861 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2862 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2863 just makes things more complicated.)
2866 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2870 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2871 work better on such systems.
2872 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2874 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2875 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2876 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2879 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2880 if there was more than one signature.
2881 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2883 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2884 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2885 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2886 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2889 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2890 rather than always using the current time.
2893 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2894 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2895 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2896 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2897 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2898 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2900 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2901 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2903 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2905 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2906 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2907 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2908 the same hash value.
2910 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2911 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2912 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2913 with X509_STORE internally.
2915 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2916 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2918 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2919 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2920 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2921 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2922 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2923 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2924 entirely (maybe later...).
2926 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2928 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2929 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2930 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2931 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2932 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2933 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2934 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2935 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2937 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2938 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2940 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2941 to customise the verify behaviour.
2944 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2945 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2948 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2949 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2950 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2951 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2952 request is improperly encoded.
2955 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2956 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2959 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2960 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2962 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2963 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2967 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2968 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2969 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2972 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2973 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2974 BIO/fp routines also added.
2977 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2978 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2980 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2981 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2982 demos/state_machine.
2985 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2986 generation and verification.
2989 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2990 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2991 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2992 encode and decode it manually.
2995 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2997 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2999 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3000 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3001 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3002 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3004 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3005 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3006 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3007 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3008 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3011 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3014 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3015 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3016 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3018 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3019 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3020 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3021 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3022 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3023 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3024 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3025 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3027 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3028 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3030 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3032 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3033 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3034 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3038 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3039 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3040 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3041 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3045 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3047 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3050 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3051 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3052 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3053 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3054 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3055 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3056 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3057 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3058 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3059 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3060 short or long names are found.
3063 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3064 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3066 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3067 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3068 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3069 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3071 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3072 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3073 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3074 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3077 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3078 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3079 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3082 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3083 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3084 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3085 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3086 to allow the various flags to be set.
3089 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3090 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3091 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3092 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3093 dates to be checked.
3096 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3097 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3098 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3101 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3102 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3103 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3106 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3107 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3110 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3111 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3112 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3113 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3114 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3115 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3118 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3119 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3123 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3127 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3128 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3129 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3130 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3131 form signing output easier to verify.
3134 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3137 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3138 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3139 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3140 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3141 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3142 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3143 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3144 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3145 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3146 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3149 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3151 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3152 the syntax given in objects.README.
3153 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3155 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3158 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3159 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3160 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3161 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3162 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3163 consistent name changes.
3166 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3169 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3170 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3171 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3172 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3175 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3176 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3177 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3181 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3182 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3183 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3184 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3187 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3188 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3189 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3190 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3191 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3192 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3193 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3194 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3195 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3196 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3197 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3200 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3201 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3202 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3203 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3204 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3205 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3206 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3207 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3208 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3209 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3212 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3213 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3214 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3215 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3217 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3218 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3219 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3220 omit any duplicate addresses.
3223 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3224 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3227 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3228 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3229 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3230 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3231 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3234 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3236 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3237 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3238 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3239 Free => OPENSSL_free
3242 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3243 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3246 *) CygWin32 support.
3247 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3249 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3250 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3251 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3252 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3253 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3257 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3258 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3259 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3260 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3261 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3262 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3263 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3266 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3267 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3268 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3269 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3270 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3271 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3272 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3273 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3274 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3275 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3276 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3279 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3280 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3281 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3282 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3283 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3285 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3286 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3287 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3288 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3289 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3291 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3294 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3295 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3296 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3297 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3299 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3301 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3304 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3305 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3306 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3309 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3310 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3311 any installed hardware versions can.
3314 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3315 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3316 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3320 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3321 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3322 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3323 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3324 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3326 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3327 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3330 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3331 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3334 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3335 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3336 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3340 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3343 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3344 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3345 but no ssl client purpose.
3346 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3348 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3349 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3350 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3351 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3352 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3353 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3354 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3355 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3356 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3357 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3358 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3361 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3362 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3363 be obtained from the error queue.
3366 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3367 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3368 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3369 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3372 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3375 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3376 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3377 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3378 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3379 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3382 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3383 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3384 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3385 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3386 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3389 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3390 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3391 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3393 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3395 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3396 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3397 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3398 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3399 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3400 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3401 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3402 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3403 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3404 or "the configuration storage API"...
3406 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3408 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3409 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3411 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3413 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3415 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3416 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3417 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3418 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3419 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3420 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3421 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3423 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3424 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3427 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3428 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3429 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3430 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3433 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3434 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3435 them in a portable way.
3436 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3438 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3440 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3442 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3443 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3445 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3446 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3447 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3450 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3451 was larger than the MD block size.
3452 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3454 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3455 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3456 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3457 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3461 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3462 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3463 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3465 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3467 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3469 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3470 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3471 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3472 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3473 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3474 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3476 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3477 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3479 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3480 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3483 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3486 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3487 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3489 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3490 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3491 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3492 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3495 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3496 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3497 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3498 does not suppress any output.
3501 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3502 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3503 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3504 with all the associated security issues.
3506 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3507 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3508 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3509 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3510 use the value in the default purpose.
3513 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3514 and fix a memory leak.
3517 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3518 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3519 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3520 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3523 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3524 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3525 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3526 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3529 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3530 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3531 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3534 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3535 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3538 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3539 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3543 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3544 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3547 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3548 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3549 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3552 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3553 number generation fails.
3556 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3559 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3560 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3562 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3565 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3566 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3568 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3569 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3571 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3573 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3574 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3577 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3578 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3580 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3581 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3584 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3585 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3586 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3587 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3588 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3589 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3591 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3592 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3593 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3597 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3598 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3599 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3600 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3601 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3602 counter, some don't.)
3603 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3604 counters or duplicate objects.
3607 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3608 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3611 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3612 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3613 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3615 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3616 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3617 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3621 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3622 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3625 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3626 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3627 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3631 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3632 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3633 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3636 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3637 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3638 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3639 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3640 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3641 should work without changes.
3644 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3645 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3646 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3647 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3648 must be defined. E.g.,
3649 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3650 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3651 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3652 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3654 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3658 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3659 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3660 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3663 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3664 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3665 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3666 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3669 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3670 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3671 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3672 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3673 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3674 is prompted for as usual.
3677 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3678 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3679 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3680 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3682 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3683 and server done in one record. Since&n
