5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
8 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
9 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
10 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
11 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
14 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
15 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
16 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
19 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
20 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
23 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
24 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
26 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
27 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
30 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
33 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
34 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
35 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
39 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
40 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
41 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
42 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
43 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
44 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
47 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
48 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
50 This work was sponsored by Google.
53 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
54 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
55 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
56 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
57 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
58 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
59 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
62 This work was sponsored by Google.
65 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
67 This work was sponsored by Google.
70 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
71 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
72 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
73 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
75 This work was sponsored by Google.
78 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
79 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
80 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
81 CRL functionality in future.
83 This work was sponsored by Google.
86 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
88 This work was sponsored by Google.
91 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
92 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
94 This work was sponsored by Google.
97 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
98 and URI types are currently supported.
100 This work was sponsored by Google.
103 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
104 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
105 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
106 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
107 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
108 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
109 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
110 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
112 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
113 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
114 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
116 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
117 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
118 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
119 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
121 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
122 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
123 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
124 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
125 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
126 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
127 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
128 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
130 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
132 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
133 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
134 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
136 This work was sponsored by Google.
139 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
142 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
143 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
144 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
147 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
148 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
151 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
152 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
155 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
156 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
157 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
158 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
159 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
160 content types and variants.
163 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
166 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
167 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
168 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
169 files from the associated perl scripts.
172 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
173 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
174 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
176 *) s390x assembler pack.
179 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
183 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
184 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
185 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
186 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
187 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
188 to use. For example, specify an option
190 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
192 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
193 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
194 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
195 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
196 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
197 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
199 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
200 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
201 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
202 return non-zero for success.
204 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
207 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
208 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
212 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
215 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
216 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
217 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
218 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
219 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
220 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
221 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
222 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
223 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
225 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
226 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
227 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
228 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
229 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
230 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
232 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
233 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
234 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
235 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
236 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
237 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
241 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
244 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
246 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
247 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
248 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
251 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
252 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
255 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
256 protection in servers so again support should be possible
257 with no application modification.
259 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
260 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
262 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
263 or server extensions to be examined.
265 This work was sponsored by Google.
268 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
269 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
270 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
272 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
273 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
275 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
277 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
278 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
279 to output in BER and PEM format.
282 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
283 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
284 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
285 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
286 -macopt options to dgst utility.
289 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
290 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
291 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
295 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
296 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
297 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
298 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
299 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
300 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
301 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
302 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
305 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
306 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
307 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
308 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
310 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
311 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
312 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
316 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
317 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
318 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
319 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
320 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
321 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
322 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
323 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
324 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
326 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
327 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
328 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
329 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
330 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
331 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
332 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
333 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
334 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
335 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
336 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
339 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
340 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
341 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
343 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
344 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
348 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
349 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
350 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
353 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
354 it yet and it is largely untested.
357 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
360 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
361 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
362 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
365 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
368 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
369 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
370 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
371 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
374 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
375 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
376 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
377 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
378 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
381 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
382 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
385 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
386 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
387 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
388 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
391 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
392 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
393 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
394 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
397 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
398 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
401 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
402 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
403 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
404 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
407 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
408 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
409 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
412 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
416 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
417 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
420 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
421 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
422 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
426 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
427 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
428 to free up any added signature OIDs.
431 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
432 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
433 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
434 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
437 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
438 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
439 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
440 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
441 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
442 the array representation useful in a more general context.
445 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
446 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
447 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
448 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
449 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
451 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
452 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
453 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
454 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
455 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
458 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
459 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
460 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
461 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
463 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
464 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
465 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
466 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
467 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
473 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
474 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
478 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
479 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
482 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
483 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
486 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
487 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
488 functional reference processing.
491 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
492 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
496 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
497 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
498 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
501 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
502 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
503 application to support multiple signers.
506 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
510 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
511 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
512 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
513 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
514 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
517 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
521 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
522 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
523 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
524 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
528 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
529 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
530 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
531 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
532 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
533 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
534 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
535 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
538 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
539 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
540 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
541 between digests and public key types.
544 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
545 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
546 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
547 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
550 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
551 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
555 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
558 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
562 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
563 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
564 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
565 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
570 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
572 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
574 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
576 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
577 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
578 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
579 functionality for RSA.
582 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
583 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
584 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
587 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
588 key API, doesn't do much yet.
591 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
592 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
593 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
596 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
597 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
600 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
601 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
604 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
605 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
609 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
610 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
611 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
615 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
616 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
617 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
618 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
619 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
620 of public and private key structures.
623 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
624 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
627 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
628 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
629 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
632 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
636 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
637 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
639 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
641 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
643 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
644 and response verification functionality.
645 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
647 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
648 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
649 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
650 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
651 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
652 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
653 server_name extension.
655 New functions (subject to change):
658 SSL_get_servername_type()
661 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
663 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
664 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
665 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
666 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
667 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
669 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
671 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
672 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
673 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
674 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
675 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
676 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
679 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
681 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
684 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
685 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
686 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
687 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
688 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
691 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
692 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
696 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
697 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
698 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
699 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
702 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
703 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
704 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
705 using the maximum available value.
708 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
709 in addition to the text details.
712 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
713 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
714 handle several customised structures at all.
717 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
718 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
719 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
722 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
725 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
726 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
727 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
730 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
731 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
732 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
735 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
736 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
740 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
743 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
746 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [xx XXX xxxx]
748 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
751 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
752 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
756 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
758 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
760 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
762 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
765 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
766 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
767 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
768 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
770 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
771 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
773 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
774 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
777 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
778 s_client and s_server.
781 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
782 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
784 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
785 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
787 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
788 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
789 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
790 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
791 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
794 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
796 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
797 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
800 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
801 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
802 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
803 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
805 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
806 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
808 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
810 *) Various precautionary measures:
812 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
814 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
815 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
816 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
818 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
819 outside the expected range.
821 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
824 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
826 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
827 the load fails. Useful for distros.
828 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
830 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
833 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
836 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
838 This work was sponsored by Logica.
841 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
842 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
843 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
845 This work was sponsored by Logica.
848 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
849 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
850 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
854 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
856 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
857 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
858 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
859 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
861 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
862 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
865 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
867 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
868 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
869 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
871 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
873 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
874 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
875 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
876 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
879 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
880 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
881 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
882 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
883 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
884 invalid read after the end of 'db').
885 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
887 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
889 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
890 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
891 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
892 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
893 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
895 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
896 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
898 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
899 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
900 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
901 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
902 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
904 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
906 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
907 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
908 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
909 sets may exist with different names.
912 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
913 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
914 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
915 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
916 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
917 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
918 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
919 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
920 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
922 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
924 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
925 implemention in the following ways:
927 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
930 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
931 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
932 ignored for embedded content.
934 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
935 with the enable-cms configuration option.
938 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
939 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
940 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
941 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
943 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
944 uncompresses any data passed through it.
947 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
948 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
951 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
952 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
953 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
954 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
955 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
956 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
960 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
961 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
962 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
966 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
967 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
968 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
969 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
970 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
971 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
972 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
973 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
975 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
976 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
977 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
978 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
979 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
980 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
981 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
983 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
984 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
985 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
986 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
987 to s_client and s_server.
990 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
993 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
994 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
995 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
996 + Fix ia64 assembler code
997 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
999 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1001 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1002 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1003 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1004 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1005 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1006 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1007 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1008 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1011 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1012 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1013 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1016 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1017 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1018 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1021 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1022 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1025 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1026 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1027 with no application modification.
1029 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1030 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1032 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1033 or server extensions to be examined.
1035 This work was sponsored by Google.
1038 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1039 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1040 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1041 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1042 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1043 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1044 server_name extension.
1046 New functions (subject to change):
1048 SSL_get_servername()
1049 SSL_get_servername_type()
1052 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1054 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1055 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1056 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1057 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1058 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1060 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1062 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1063 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1064 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1065 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1066 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1067 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1070 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1072 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1075 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1078 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1079 (which previously caused an internal error).
1082 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1085 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1086 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1088 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1089 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1090 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1092 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1093 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1094 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1095 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1097 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1098 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1099 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1100 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1102 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1103 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1104 information. For detailed background information, see
1105 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1106 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1107 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1108 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1109 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1110 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1111 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1112 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1113 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1114 remove a conditional branch.
1116 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1117 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1118 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1119 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1120 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1121 remains as a deprecated alias.
1123 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1124 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1125 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1126 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1128 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1129 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1130 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1131 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1132 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1133 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1134 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1135 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1137 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1139 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1140 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1141 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1142 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1143 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1144 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1145 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1146 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1147 in a different context.
1150 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1151 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1152 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1155 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1156 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1157 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1159 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1161 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1162 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1163 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1164 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1165 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1168 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1169 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1170 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1171 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1172 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1173 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1176 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1177 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1178 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1179 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1180 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1183 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1184 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1186 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1187 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1188 Improve header file function name parsing.
1191 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1192 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1195 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1197 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1198 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1199 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1201 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1202 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1204 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1205 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1207 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1208 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1209 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1211 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1212 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1213 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1214 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1215 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1216 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1217 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1218 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1219 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1221 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1222 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1223 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1224 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1225 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1227 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1228 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1229 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1230 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1231 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1232 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1233 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1234 multiple values to extend the available space.
1238 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1240 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1241 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1243 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1246 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1247 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1248 undesirable limitations.
1249 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1251 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1252 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1253 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1254 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1255 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1256 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1257 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1260 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1262 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1263 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1264 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1266 The latter two were purportedly from
1267 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1270 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1271 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1272 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1275 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1276 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1279 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1280 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1281 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1282 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1284 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1285 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1286 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1289 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1290 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1291 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1292 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1293 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1294 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1297 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1299 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1300 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1303 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1304 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1306 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1307 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1308 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1309 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1312 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1313 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1316 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1317 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1318 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1319 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1320 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1321 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1322 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1326 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1327 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1328 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1329 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1332 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1333 under VC++ build system.
1336 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1337 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1340 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1342 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1343 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1344 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1345 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1346 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1348 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1349 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1350 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1352 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1355 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1356 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1359 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1360 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1362 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1365 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1366 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1368 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1369 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1372 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1373 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1377 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1379 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1382 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1385 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1386 key into the same file any more.
1389 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1392 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1393 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1395 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1396 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1399 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1400 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1401 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1402 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1403 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1404 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1406 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1407 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1408 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1411 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1412 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1413 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1414 - add new function for parameter creation
1415 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1416 BN_BLINDING parameters
1417 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1418 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1419 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1423 *) Add support for DTLS.
1424 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1426 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1427 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1430 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1431 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1434 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1435 the apps/openssl applications.
1438 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1439 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1440 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1443 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1444 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1446 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1447 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1449 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1450 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1451 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1452 avoid this algorithm.)
1456 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1457 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1458 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1461 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1462 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1465 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1466 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1467 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1470 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1472 The blank line is mandatory.
1476 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1477 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1481 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1482 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1484 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1485 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1486 to support policy checking and print out.
1489 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1490 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1491 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1492 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1494 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1497 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1498 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1500 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1501 implementation contributed by IBM.
1502 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1504 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1505 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1506 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1507 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1509 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1510 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1512 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1513 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1514 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1515 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1516 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1517 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1520 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1521 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1522 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1523 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1524 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1525 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1526 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1529 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1532 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1533 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1534 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1535 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1536 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1537 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1538 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1539 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1542 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1543 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1544 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1545 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1548 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1551 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1554 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1555 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1556 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1557 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1558 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1559 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1560 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1563 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1564 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1567 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1568 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1569 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1572 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1573 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1574 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1578 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1579 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1582 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1583 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1584 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1585 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1588 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1589 initialised value as BN_new().
1590 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1592 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1595 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1596 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1597 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1598 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1599 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1600 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1601 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1602 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1603 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1604 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1605 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1606 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1607 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1608 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1609 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1611 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1612 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1613 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1614 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1617 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1618 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1619 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1620 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1621 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1622 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1623 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1624 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1625 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1628 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1629 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1630 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1631 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1632 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1633 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1634 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1637 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1638 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1639 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1640 these have been updated also.
1643 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1644 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1645 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1646 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1647 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1651 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1652 structure of type "other".
1655 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1656 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1657 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1658 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1659 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1660 situation in the script.
1661 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1663 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1664 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1665 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1666 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1667 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1668 used as premaster secret.
1669 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1671 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1672 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1673 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1675 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1676 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1678 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1679 control of the error stack.
1682 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1685 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1686 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1687 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1688 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1691 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1692 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1693 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1696 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1697 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1698 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1702 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1703 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1704 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1705 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1708 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1709 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1710 the following flags are defined:
1712 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1713 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1714 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1717 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1718 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1719 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1720 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1724 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1725 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1726 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1727 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1728 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1731 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1732 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1733 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1736 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1737 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1738 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1739 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1740 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1741 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1744 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1748 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1751 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1754 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1757 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1758 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1759 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1760 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1761 default implementation more easily.
1764 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1768 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1769 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1772 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1773 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1774 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1775 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1777 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1778 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1779 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1780 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1783 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1784 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1788 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1789 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1790 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1791 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1792 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1793 scalar * generator).
1794 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1796 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1797 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1798 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1802 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1803 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1804 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1805 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1806 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1807 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1808 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1809 linker additions, eg;
1810 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1813 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1814 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1815 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1818 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1819 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1820 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1824 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1825 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1826 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1827 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1830 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1831 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1832 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1833 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1834 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1835 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1836 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1837 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1838 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1839 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1841 Example for using the new callback interface:
1843 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1847 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1849 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1850 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1851 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1852 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1853 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1854 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1859 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1860 available to TLS with the number defined in
1861 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1864 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1865 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1867 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1868 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1869 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1870 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1872 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1873 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1875 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1876 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1880 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1881 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1884 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1885 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1886 and a macro that behave like
1887 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1889 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1892 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1893 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1894 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1896 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1898 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1901 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1902 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1903 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1904 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1906 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1907 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1908 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1909 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1910 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1911 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1912 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1913 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1915 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1916 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1919 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1920 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1922 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1923 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1924 files while avoiding the low level API.
1926 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1927 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1928 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1929 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1931 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1932 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1933 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1934 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1935 instead of the low level API.
1938 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1939 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1940 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1941 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1942 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1945 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1946 down to the template encoder.
1949 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1950 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1953 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1954 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1955 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1956 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1958 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1959 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1961 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1962 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1964 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1965 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1968 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1969 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1970 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1973 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1974 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1976 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1977 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1979 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1980 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1983 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1987 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1988 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1989 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1990 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1991 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1992 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1994 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1995 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1998 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1999 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2000 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2001 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2002 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2003 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2004 various internal method names.)
2006 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2007 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2009 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2010 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2012 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2013 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2015 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2016 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2017 methods are undefined.
2019 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2020 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2022 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2023 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2024 length of the modulus.
2026 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2027 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2029 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2030 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2032 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2033 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2035 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2036 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2037 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2040 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2041 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2042 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2043 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2045 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2046 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2047 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2048 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2050 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2051 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2053 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2054 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2055 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2056 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2057 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2059 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2060 This applies to the following functions:
2065 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2066 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2068 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2069 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2073 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2078 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2080 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2081 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2082 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2083 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2084 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2086 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2087 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2089 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2090 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2091 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2093 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2094 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2096 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2097 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2098 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2099 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2100 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2102 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2104 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2105 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2106 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2107 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2108 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2109 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2110 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2111 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2112 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2113 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2114 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2115 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2117 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2120 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2121 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2122 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2123 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2125 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2126 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2127 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2128 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2133 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2134 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2135 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2136 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2137 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2139 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2140 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2141 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2142 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2143 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2144 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2145 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2146 adding different types of curves.
2147 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2149 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2150 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2151 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2154 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2155 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2157 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2158 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2159 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2160 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2162 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2164 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2165 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2167 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2168 library. Most notably,
2169 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2170 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2171 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2172 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2173 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2174 extracted before the specific public key;
2175 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2176 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2178 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2179 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2181 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2182 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2183 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2184 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2186 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2187 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2188 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2190 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2191 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2192 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2193 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2194 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2195 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2199 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2201 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2202 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2203 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2204 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2205 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2206 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2207 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2208 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2209 in a different context.
2212 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2214 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2216 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2218 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2219 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2220 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2223 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2224 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2225 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2228 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2231 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2232 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2235 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2236 run algorithm test programs.
2239 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2242 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2243 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2244 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2245 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2246 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2249 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2250 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2253 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2255 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2256 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2257 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2259 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2260 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2262 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2263 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2265 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2266 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2267 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2269 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2270 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2271 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2272 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2273 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2274 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2275 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2278 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2280 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2281 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2283 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2284 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2285 undesirable limitations.
2286 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2288 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2290 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2291 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2292 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2294 The latter two were purportedly from
2295 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2298 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2299 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2300 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2303 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2304 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2307 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2309 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2310 module in FIPS mode.
2313 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2316 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2317 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2318 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2319 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2322 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2324 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2325 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2326 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2327 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2328 the difference induced by this change.
2331 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2333 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2334 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2335 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2336 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2337 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2339 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2340 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2341 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2343 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2344 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2347 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2348 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2349 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2350 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2354 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2355 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2356 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2357 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2358 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2360 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2361 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2362 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2363 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2364 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2365 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2367 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2369 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2370 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2371 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2372 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2373 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2376 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2380 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2381 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2382 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2385 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2386 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2387 structures constant.
2390 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2392 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2395 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2396 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2397 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2398 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2399 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2400 some needed definitions.
2403 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2406 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2407 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2408 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2409 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2412 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2414 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2415 server and client random values. Previously
2416 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2417 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2419 This change has negligible security impact because:
2421 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2424 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2427 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2428 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2431 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2434 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2436 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2439 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2440 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2441 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2443 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2446 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2447 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2450 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2451 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2452 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2454 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2457 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2458 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2459 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2463 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2464 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2465 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2466 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2468 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2469 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2470 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2471 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2475 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2477 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2478 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2479 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2480 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2481 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2484 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2487 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2488 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2490 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2491 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2492 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2493 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2494 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2495 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2496 rather than being initialized to 1.
2499 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2501 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2502 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2503 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2505 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2507 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2509 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2510 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2511 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2512 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2513 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2514 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2517 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2518 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2519 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2520 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2521 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2525 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2526 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2527 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2528 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2529 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2532 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2533 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2534 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2538 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2539 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2541 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2544 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2546 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2548 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2549 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2551 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2553 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2554 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2558 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2559 exiting on the first error in a request.
2562 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2563 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2567 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2568 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2569 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2570 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2572 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2573 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2576 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2577 blocks during encryption.
2580 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2581 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2582 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2583 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2587 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2588 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2589 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2590 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2591 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2595 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2597 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2598 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2599 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2600 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2603 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2604 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2605 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2606 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2607 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2609 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2610 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2611 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2612 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2613 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2614 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2615 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2616 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2617 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2620 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2621 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2622 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2623 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2626 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2627 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2630 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2632 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2633 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2634 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2635 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2636 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2638 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2639 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2640 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2642 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2643 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2644 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2645 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2646 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2648 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2649 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2650 used by default when no-err is given.
2653 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2654 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2656 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2657 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2658 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2659 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2660 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2662 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2663 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2664 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2665 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2667 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2669 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2671 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2673 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2674 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2675 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2676 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2680 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2681 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2683 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2684 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2687 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2688 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2689 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2690 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2693 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2694 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2695 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2696 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2697 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2698 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2699 followup to PR #377.
2702 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2703 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2706 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2707 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2708 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2713 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2716 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2717 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2718 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2719 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2721 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2725 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2726 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2730 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2731 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2732 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2733 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2734 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2735 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2737 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2738 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2739 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2740 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2741 have to be made anyway).
2744 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2745 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2746 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2749 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2750 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2751 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2754 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2755 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2756 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2758 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2759 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2760 edit numbers of the version.
2761 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2763 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2764 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2765 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2767 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2768 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2770 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2771 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2774 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2775 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2777 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2778 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2780 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2781 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2783 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2784 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2786 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2788 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2790 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2791 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2792 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2794 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2795 representations in a platform independent manner.
2796 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2798 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2799 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2800 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2802 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2804 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2806 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2807 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2809 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2811 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2813 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2814 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.

2817 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2819 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2821 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2822 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2824 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.

2830 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

2833 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2835 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2837 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2838 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2840 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

2843 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2844 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2846 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2848 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2849 the 0.9.6 release series:
2851 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2852 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2854 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2856 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2859 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2860 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2862 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2863 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2865 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2866 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2867 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2868 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2870 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2871 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2872 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2874 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2875 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2876 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2877 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2879 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2880 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2881 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2884 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2885 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2886 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2887 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2888 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2889 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2890 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2891 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2894 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2895 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2896 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2899 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2900 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2901 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2902 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2903 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2905 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2906 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2908 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2909 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2912 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2913 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2914 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2915 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2916 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2917 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2920 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2921 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2922 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2925 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2926 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2929 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2930 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2931 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2932 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2933 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2934 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2935 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2938 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2939 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2940 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2941 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2942 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2943 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2946 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2947 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2948 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2949 declaration has been changed from
2952 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2953 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2954 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2955 has been changed into
2956 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2958 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2959 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2960 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2962 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2963 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2965 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2966 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2967 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2968 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2969 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2970 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2971 always load it have also been added.
2974 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2975 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2976 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2978 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2980 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2981 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2982 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2984 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2985 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2986 command line option can be used to specify an
2990 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2991 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2994 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2995 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2996 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2999 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3000 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3001 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3002 to work with the new engine framework.
3003 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3005 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3006 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3007 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3008 to work with the new engine framework.
3011 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3012 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.

3018 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3019 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3020 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3021 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3023 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3025 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3026 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3028 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3029 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3031 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3032 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3033 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3036 *) Add new functions
3038 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3039 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3040 These are similar to
3043 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3044 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3045 still in the error queue.
3046 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3048 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3050 default_algorithms = ALL
3051 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3054 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3057 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3060 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3061 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3062 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3063 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3065 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3066 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3068 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3069 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3071 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3072 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3075 *) New functions/macros
3077 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3078 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3079 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3080 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3082 to request calling a callback function
3084 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3085 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3087 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3088 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3089 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3090 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3091 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3092 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3093 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3094 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3095 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3096 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3098 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3099 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3102 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3103 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3104 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3105 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3106 the configuration scripts.
3108 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3109 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3110 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3112 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3113 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3115 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3116 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3117 when reusing an existing buffer.
3120 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3121 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3124 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3125 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3128 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3129 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3130 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3131 has the same effect.
3132 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3134 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3135 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3136 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3137 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3138 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3139 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3142 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3143 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3144 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3145 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3147 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3148 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3149 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3150 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3152 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3153 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3156 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3157 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3158 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3159 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3160 default), and then completely removed.
3163 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3164 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3165 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3166 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3167 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3168 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3169 particular extension is supported.
3172 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3173 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3176 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3177 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3178 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3179 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3180 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3181 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3182 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3183 requires the destination to be valid.
3185 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3186 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3189 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3190 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3191 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3194 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3195 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3197 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3198 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3199 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3200 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3201 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3202 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3203 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3204 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3205 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3206 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3207 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3208 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3209 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3210 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3211 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3212 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3213 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3214 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3215 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3219 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3222 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3223 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3224 become part of libeay.num as well.
3227 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3228 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3229 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3230 false once a handshake has been completed.
3231 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3232 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3233 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3234 client has followed the request.)
3237 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3238 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3239 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3240 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3242 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3243 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3244 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3247 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3250 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3251 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3252 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3255 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3256 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3259 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3260 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3261 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3262 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3265 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3266 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3267 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3268 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3269 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3270 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3273 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3274 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3275 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3276 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3277 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3278 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3279 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3280 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3283 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3284 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3287 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3290 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3291 md_data void pointer.
3294 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3295 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3296 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3297 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3298 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3299 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3302 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3303 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3304 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3305 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3306 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3307 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3308 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3309 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3310 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3311 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3312 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3313 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3314 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3315 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3316 rather than letting it slide.
3318 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3319 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3320 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3323 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3324 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3325 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3326 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3327 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3328 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3329 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3330 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3331 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3334 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3335 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3336 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3337 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3338 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3340 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3343 *) Add EVP test program.
3346 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3349 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3350 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3351 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3352 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3353 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3356 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3357 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3358 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3359 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3360 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3361 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3362 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3364 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3365 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3366 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3371 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3372 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3373 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3374 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3375 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3379 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3380 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3381 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3382 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3385 des_key_schedule ks;
3387 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3388 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3390 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3393 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3394 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3395 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3396 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3397 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3398 functions prevents this.
3401 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3404 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3405 correct _ecb suffix.
3408 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3409 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3410 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3411 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3412 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3415 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3418 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3419 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3420 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3421 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3423 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3424 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3426 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3427 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3428 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3429 via Richard Levitte]
3431 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3432 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3433 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3434 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3437 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3440 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3455 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3456 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3458 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3459 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3460 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3461 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3462 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3463 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3466 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3467 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3470 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3471 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3472 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3473 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3475 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3476 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3477 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3478 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3479 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3480 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3484 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3485 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3486 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3487 and interrupts/cancellations.
3490 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3491 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3494 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3495 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3496 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3498 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3499 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3503 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3504 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3505 than this minimum value is recommended.
3508 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3509 that are easily reachable.
3512 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3513 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3515 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3517 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3518 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3519 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3520 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3523 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3524 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3525 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3528 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3529 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3530 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3531 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3532 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3533 internally such as S/MIME.
3535 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3536 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3537 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3539 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3543 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3544 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3545 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3546 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3548 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3550 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3552 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3553 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3554 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3558 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3559 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3560 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3561 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3562 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3563 a window system and the like.
3566 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3567 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3570 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3571 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3572 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3573 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3574 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3575 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3576 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3577 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3578 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3582 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3583 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3587 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3588 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3589 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3590 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3591 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3592 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3593 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3594 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3597 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3598 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3599 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3600 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3601 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3602 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3603 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3604 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3605 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3606 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3607 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3608 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3609 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3610 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3611 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3612 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3613 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3616 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3617 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3618 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3619 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3620 internal engine_int.h header.
3623 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3624 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3625 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3626 modify their own ones).
3629 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3630 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3631 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3632 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3633 later on via ctrl() commands.
3634 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3635 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3636 structural references.
3637 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3638 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3639 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3640 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3641 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3642 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3643 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3644 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3645 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3646 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3647 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3648 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3651 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3652 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3653 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3654 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3655 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3656 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3657 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3658 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3661 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3662 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3665 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3666 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3669 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3670 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3671 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3672 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3673 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3674 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3675 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3678 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3679 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3680 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3681 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3682 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3684 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3685 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3689 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3691 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3692 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3693 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3695 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3696 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3698 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3699 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3700 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3702 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3703 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3705 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3706 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3708 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3710 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3711 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3712 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3715 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3716 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3719 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3720 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3721 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3722 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3723 is 40 of more characters long.
3726 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3727 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3731 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3732 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3735 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3736 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3740 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3742 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3743 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3746 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3748 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3749 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3750 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3752 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3753 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3755 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3758 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3762 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3763 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3764 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3765 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3767 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3769 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3770 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3772 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3773 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3774 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3775 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3776 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3777 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3779 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3780 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3782 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3783 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3785 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3786 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3788 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3789 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3790 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3791 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3793 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3794 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3796 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3797 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3799 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3800 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3801 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3802 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3803 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3806 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3807 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3808 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3809 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3812 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3813 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3814 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3818 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3819 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3820 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3821 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3822 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3823 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3824 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3825 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3829 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3830 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3833 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3834 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3835 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3836 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3839 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3840 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3841 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3842 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3843 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3844 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3845 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3846 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3847 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3848 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3851 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3852 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3853 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3854 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3855 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3856 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3857 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3858 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3860 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3861 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3862 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3863 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3866 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3867 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3868 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3869 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3871 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3872 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3873 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3874 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3875 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3879 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3880 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3881 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3882 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3886 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3887 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3888 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3891 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3892 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3893 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3894 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3895 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3898 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3901 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3902 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3903 option to ocsp utility.
3906 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3907 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3908 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3909 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3910 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3911 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3912 the request is nonce-less.
3915 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3916 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3917 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3920 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3921 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3922 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3925 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3926 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3927 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3928 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3929 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3932 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3933 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3937 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3938 additional certificates supplied.
3941 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3942 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3946 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3947 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3950 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3951 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3952 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3953 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3954 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3955 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3956 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3957 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3958 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3960 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3961 request to response.
3964 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3965 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3966 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3967 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3968 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3969 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3970 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3971 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3972 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3973 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3974 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3977 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3978 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3979 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3980 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3983 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3984 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3986 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3987 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3988 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3991 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3992 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3993 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3994 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3995 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3997 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3998 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3999 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4002 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4003 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4004 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4005 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4006 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4007 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4008 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4009 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4011 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4012 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4013 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4014 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4015 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4016 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4019 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4020 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4021 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4022 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4023 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4024 printout format cleaned up.
4027 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4028 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4029 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4030 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4031 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4032 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4033 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4034 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4037 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4038 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4039 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4040 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4041 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4042 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4043 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4044 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4047 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4048 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4049 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4050 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4052 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4054 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4055 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4056 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4057 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4060 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4061 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4062 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4063 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4065 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4067 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4068 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4069 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4070 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4072 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4073 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4075 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4076 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4077 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4080 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4081 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4082 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4085 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4086 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4087 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4088 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4089 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4090 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4091 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4092 functions are provided:
4094 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4095 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4096 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4097 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4099 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4100 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4101 extended allocation function is enabled.
4102 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4103 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4104 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4106 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4107 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4108 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4109 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4110 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4113 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4114 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4115 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4117 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4118 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4119 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4122 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4123 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4124 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4125 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4126 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4127 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4128 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4129 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4130 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4133 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4134 provide utility functions which an application needing
4135 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4136 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4137 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4139 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4140 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4141 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4142 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4143 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4144 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4145 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4146 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4147 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4149 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4150 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4151 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4152 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4155 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4156 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4157 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4158 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4159 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4160 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4161 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4162 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4163 will be added elsewhere.
4166 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4167 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4168 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4169 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4172 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4173 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4174 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4175 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4176 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4177 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4178 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4179 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4180 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4181 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4182 to produce the required SET OF.
4185 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4186 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4187 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4190 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4191 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4192 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4193 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4194 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4195 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4198 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4199 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4200 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4203 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4204 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4205 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4208 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4209 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4210 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4211 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4212 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4215 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4216 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4219 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4220 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4221 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4222 certifcates and CRLs.
4225 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4226 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4227 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4230 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4231 entries for variables.
4234 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4235 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4236 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4237 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4240 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4241 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4242 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4243 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4244 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4245 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4248 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4249 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4251 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4252 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4253 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4256 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4260 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4261 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4262 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4263 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4264 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4265 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4268 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4271 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4272 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4273 for now but they will eventually go away.
4276 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4277 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4278 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4279 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4280 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4281 has also been converted to the new form.
4284 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4285 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4286 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4287 for negative moduli.
4290 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4291 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4294 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4298 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4299 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4300 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4301 type-specific callbacks.
4304 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4306 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4307 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4309 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4310 in sections depending on the subject.
4313 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4317 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4318 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4319 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4320 be handled deterministically).
4321 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4323 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4324 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4325 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4328 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4331 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4332 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4333 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4334 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4335 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4338 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4339 sign of the number in question.
4341 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4343 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4344 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4345 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4346 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4347 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4350 *) New function BN_swap.
4353 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4354 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4355 results on negative inputs.
4358 *) Change BN_mod_mul
