5 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) s390x assembler pack.
10 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
14 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
15 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
16 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
17 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
18 to s_client and s_server.
21 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
22 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
23 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
24 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
25 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
26 to use. For example, specify an option
28 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
30 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
31 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
32 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
33 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
34 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
35 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
37 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
38 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
39 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
40 return non-zero for success.
42 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
45 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
46 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
50 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
53 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
54 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
55 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
56 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
57 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
58 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
59 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
60 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
61 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
63 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
64 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
65 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
66 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
67 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
68 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
70 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
71 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
72 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
73 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
74 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
75 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
79 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
82 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
84 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
85 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
86 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
89 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
90 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
93 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
94 protection in servers so again support should be possible
95 with no application modification.
97 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
98 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
100 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
101 or server extensions to be examined.
103 This work was sponsored by Google.
106 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
107 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
108 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
110 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
111 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
113 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
115 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
116 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
117 to output in BER and PEM format.
120 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
121 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
122 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
123 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
124 -macopt options to dgst utility.
127 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
128 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
129 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
133 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
134 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
135 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
136 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
137 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
138 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
139 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
140 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
143 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
144 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
145 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
146 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
148 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
149 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
150 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
154 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
155 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
156 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
157 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
158 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
159 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
160 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
161 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
162 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
164 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
165 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
166 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
167 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
168 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
169 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
170 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
171 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
172 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
173 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
174 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
177 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
178 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
179 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
181 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
182 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
186 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
187 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
188 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
191 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
192 it yet and it is largely untested.
195 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
198 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
199 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
200 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
203 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
206 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
207 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
208 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
209 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
212 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
213 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
214 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
215 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
216 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
219 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
220 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
223 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
224 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
225 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
226 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
229 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
230 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
231 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
232 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
235 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
236 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
239 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
240 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
241 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
242 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
245 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
246 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
247 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
250 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
254 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
255 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
258 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
259 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
260 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
264 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
265 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
266 to free up any added signature OIDs.
269 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
270 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
271 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
272 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
275 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
276 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
277 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
278 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
279 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
280 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
281 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
282 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
284 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
285 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
286 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
288 we now have additional functions
290 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
291 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
292 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
294 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
295 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
299 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
300 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
301 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
302 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
303 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
304 the array representation useful in a more general context.
307 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
308 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
309 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
310 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
311 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
313 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
314 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
315 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
316 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
317 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
320 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
321 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
322 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
323 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
325 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
326 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
327 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
328 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
329 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
335 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
336 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
340 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
341 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
344 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
345 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
348 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
349 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
350 functional reference processing.
353 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
354 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
358 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
359 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
360 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
363 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
364 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
365 application to support multiple signers.
368 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
372 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
373 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
374 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
375 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
376 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
379 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
383 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
384 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
385 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
386 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
390 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
391 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
392 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
393 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
394 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
395 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
396 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
397 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
400 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
401 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
402 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
403 between digests and public key types.
406 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
407 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
408 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
409 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
412 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
413 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
417 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
420 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
424 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
425 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
426 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
427 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
432 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
434 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
436 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
438 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
439 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
440 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
441 functionality for RSA.
444 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
445 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
446 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
449 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
450 key API, doesn't do much yet.
453 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
454 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
455 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
458 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
459 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
462 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
463 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
466 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
467 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
471 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
472 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
473 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
477 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
478 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
479 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
480 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
481 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
482 of public and private key structures.
485 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
486 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
489 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
490 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
491 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
494 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
498 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
499 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
501 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
503 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
505 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
506 and response verification functionality.
507 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
509 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
510 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
511 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
512 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
513 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
514 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
515 server_name extension.
517 New functions (subject to change):
520 SSL_get_servername_type()
523 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
525 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
526 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
527 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
528 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
529 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
531 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
533 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
534 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
535 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
536 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
537 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
538 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
541 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
543 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
546 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
547 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
548 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
549 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
550 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
553 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
554 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
558 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
559 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
560 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
561 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
564 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
565 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
566 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
567 using the maximum available value.
570 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
571 in addition to the text details.
574 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
575 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
576 handle several customised structures at all.
579 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
580 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
581 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
584 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
587 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
588 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
589 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
592 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
593 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
594 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
597 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
598 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
602 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
605 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
608 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
610 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
613 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
614 (which previously caused an internal error).
617 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
620 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
621 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
623 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
624 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
625 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
627 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
628 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
629 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
630 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
632 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
633 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
634 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
637 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
638 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
639 information. For detailed background information, see
640 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
641 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
642 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
643 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
644 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
645 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
646 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
647 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
648 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
649 remove a conditional branch.
651 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
652 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
653 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
654 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
655 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
656 remains as a deprecated alias.
658 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
659 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
660 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
661 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
663 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
664 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
665 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
666 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
667 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
668 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
669 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
670 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
672 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
674 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
675 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
676 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
677 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
678 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
679 with applications using a single external cache for quite
680 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
681 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
682 in a different context.
685 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
686 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
687 authentication-only ciphersuites.
690 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
692 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
693 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
694 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
695 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
696 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
699 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
700 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
701 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
702 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
703 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
704 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
707 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
708 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
709 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
710 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
711 message has informed the client about his choice.)
714 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
715 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
717 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
718 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
719 Improve header file function name parsing.
722 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
723 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
726 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
728 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
729 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
730 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
732 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
733 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
735 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
736 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
738 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
739 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
740 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
742 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
743 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
744 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
745 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
746 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
747 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
748 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
749 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
750 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
752 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
753 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
754 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
755 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
756 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
758 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
759 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
760 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
761 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
762 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
763 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
764 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
765 multiple values to extend the available space.
769 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
771 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
772 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
774 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
777 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
778 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
779 undesirable limitations.
780 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
782 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
783 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
784 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
785 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
786 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
787 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
788 to avoid potential handshake problems.
791 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
793 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
794 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
795 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
797 The latter two were purportedly from
798 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
801 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
802 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
803 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
806 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
807 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
810 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
811 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
812 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
813 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
815 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
816 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
817 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
820 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
821 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
822 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
823 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
824 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
825 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
828 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
830 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
831 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
834 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
835 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
837 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
838 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
839 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
840 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
843 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
844 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
847 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
848 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
849 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
850 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
851 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
852 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
853 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
857 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
858 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
859 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
860 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
863 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
864 under VC++ build system.
867 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
868 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
871 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
873 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
874 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
875 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
876 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
877 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
879 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
880 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
881 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
883 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
886 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
887 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
890 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
891 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
893 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
896 *) Extended Windows CE support.
897 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
899 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
900 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
903 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
904 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
908 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
910 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
913 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
916 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
917 key into the same file any more.
920 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
923 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
924 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
926 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
927 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
930 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
931 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
932 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
933 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
934 this only applies when building 'shared'.
935 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
937 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
938 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
939 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
942 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
943 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
944 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
945 - add new function for parameter creation
946 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
947 BN_BLINDING parameters
948 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
949 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
950 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
954 *) Add support for DTLS.
955 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
957 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
958 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
961 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
962 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
965 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
966 the apps/openssl applications.
969 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
970 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
971 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
974 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
975 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
977 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
978 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
980 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
981 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
982 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
983 avoid this algorithm.)
987 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
988 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
989 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
992 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
993 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
996 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
997 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
998 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1001 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1003 The blank line is mandatory.
1007 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1008 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1012 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1013 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1015 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1016 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1017 to support policy checking and print out.
1020 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1021 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1022 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1023 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1025 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1028 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1029 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1031 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1032 implementation contributed by IBM.
1033 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1035 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1036 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1037 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1038 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1040 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1041 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1043 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1044 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1045 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1046 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1047 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1048 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1051 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1052 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1053 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1054 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1055 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1056 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1057 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1060 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1063 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1064 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1065 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1066 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1067 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1068 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1069 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1070 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1073 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1074 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1075 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1076 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1079 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1082 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1085 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1086 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1087 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1088 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1089 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1090 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1091 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1094 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1095 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1098 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1099 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1100 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1103 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1104 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1105 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1109 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1110 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1113 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1114 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1115 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1116 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1119 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1120 initialised value as BN_new().
1121 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1123 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1126 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1127 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1128 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1129 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1130 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1131 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1132 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1133 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1134 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1135 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1136 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1137 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1138 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1139 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1140 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1142 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1143 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1144 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1145 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1148 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1149 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1150 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1151 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1152 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1153 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1154 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1155 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1156 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1159 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1160 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1161 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1162 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1163 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1164 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1165 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1168 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1169 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1170 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1171 these have been updated also.
1174 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1175 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1176 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1177 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1178 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1182 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1183 structure of type "other".
1186 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1187 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1188 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1189 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1190 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1191 situation in the script.
1192 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1194 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1195 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1196 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1197 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1198 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1199 used as premaster secret.
1200 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1202 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1203 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1204 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1206 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1207 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1209 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1210 control of the error stack.
1213 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1216 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1217 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1218 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1219 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1222 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1223 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1224 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1227 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1228 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1229 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1233 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1234 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1235 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1236 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1239 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1240 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1241 the following flags are defined:
1243 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1244 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1245 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1248 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1249 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1250 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1251 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1255 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1256 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1257 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1258 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1259 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1262 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1263 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1264 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1267 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1268 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1269 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1270 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1271 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1272 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1275 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1279 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1282 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1285 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1288 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1289 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1290 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1291 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1292 default implementation more easily.
1295 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1299 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1300 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1303 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1304 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1305 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1306 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1308 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1309 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1310 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1311 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1314 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1315 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1319 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1320 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1321 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1322 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1323 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1324 scalar * generator).
1325 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1327 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1328 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1329 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1333 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1334 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1335 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1336 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1337 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1338 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1339 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1340 linker additions, eg;
1341 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1344 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1345 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1346 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1349 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1350 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1351 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1355 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1356 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1357 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1358 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1361 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1362 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1363 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1364 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1365 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1366 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1367 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1368 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1369 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1370 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1372 Example for using the new callback interface:
1374 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1378 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1380 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1381 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1382 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1383 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1384 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1385 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1390 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1391 available to TLS with the number defined in
1392 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1395 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1396 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1398 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1399 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1400 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1401 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1403 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1404 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1406 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1407 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1411 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1412 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1415 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1416 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1417 and a macro that behave like
1418 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1420 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1423 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1424 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1425 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1427 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1429 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1432 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1433 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1434 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1435 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1437 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1438 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1439 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1440 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1441 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1442 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1443 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1444 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1446 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1447 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1450 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1451 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1453 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1454 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1455 files while avoiding the low level API.
1457 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1458 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1459 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1460 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1462 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1463 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1464 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1465 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1466 instead of the low level API.
1469 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1470 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1471 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1472 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1473 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1476 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1477 down to the template encoder.
1480 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1481 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1484 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1485 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1486 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1487 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1489 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1490 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1492 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1493 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1495 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1496 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1499 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1500 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1501 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1504 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1505 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1507 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1508 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1510 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1511 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1514 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1518 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1519 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1520 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1521 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1522 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1523 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1525 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1526 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1529 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1530 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1531 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1532 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1533 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1534 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1535 various internal method names.)
1537 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1538 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1540 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1541 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1543 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1544 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1546 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1547 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1548 methods are undefined.
1550 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1551 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1553 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1554 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1555 length of the modulus.
1557 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1558 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1560 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1561 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1563 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1564 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1566 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1567 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1568 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1571 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1572 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1573 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1574 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1576 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1577 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1578 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1579 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1581 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1582 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1584 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1585 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1586 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1587 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1588 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1590 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1591 This applies to the following functions:
1596 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1597 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1599 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1600 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1604 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1609 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1611 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1612 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1613 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1614 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1615 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1617 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1618 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1620 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1621 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1622 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1624 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1625 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1627 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1628 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1629 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1630 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1631 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1633 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1635 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1636 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1637 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1638 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1639 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1640 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1641 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1642 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1643 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1644 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1645 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1646 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1648 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1651 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1652 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1653 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1654 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1656 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1657 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1658 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1659 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1664 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1665 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1666 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1667 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1668 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1670 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1671 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1672 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1673 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1674 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1675 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1676 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1677 adding different types of curves.
1678 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1680 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1681 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1682 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1685 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1686 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1688 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1689 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1690 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1691 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1693 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1695 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1696 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1698 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1699 library. Most notably,
1700 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1701 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1702 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1703 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1704 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1705 extracted before the specific public key;
1706 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1707 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1709 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1710 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1712 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1713 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1714 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1715 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1717 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1718 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1719 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1721 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1722 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1723 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1724 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1725 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1726 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1730 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1732 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1733 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1734 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1735 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1736 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1737 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1738 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1739 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1740 in a different context.
1743 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1745 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1747 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1749 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1750 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1751 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1754 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1755 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1756 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1759 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1762 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1763 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1766 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1767 run algorithm test programs.
1770 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1773 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1774 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1775 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1776 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1777 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1780 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1781 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1784 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1786 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1787 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1788 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1790 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1791 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1793 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1794 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1796 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1797 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1798 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1800 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1801 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1802 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1803 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1804 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1805 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1806 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1809 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1811 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1812 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1814 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1815 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1816 undesirable limitations.
1817 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1819 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1821 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1822 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1823 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1825 The latter two were purportedly from
1826 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1829 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1830 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1831 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1834 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1835 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1838 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1840 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1841 module in FIPS mode.
1844 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1847 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1848 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1849 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1850 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1853 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1855 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1856 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1857 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1858 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1859 the difference induced by this change.
1862 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1864 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1865 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1866 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1867 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1868 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1870 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1871 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1872 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1874 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1875 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1878 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1879 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1880 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1881 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1885 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1886 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1887 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1888 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1889 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1891 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1892 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1893 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1894 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1895 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1896 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1898 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1900 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1901 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1902 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1903 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1904 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1907 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1911 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1912 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1913 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1916 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1917 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1918 structures constant.
1921 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1923 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1926 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1927 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1928 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1929 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1930 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1931 some needed definitions.
1934 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1937 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1938 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1939 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1940 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1943 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1945 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1946 server and client random values. Previously
1947 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1948 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1950 This change has negligible security impact because:
1952 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1955 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1958 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1959 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1962 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1965 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1967 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1970 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1971 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1972 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1974 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1977 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1978 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1981 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1982 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1983 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1985 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1988 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1989 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1990 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1994 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1995 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1996 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1997 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1999 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2000 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2001 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2002 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2006 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2008 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2009 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2010 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2011 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2012 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2015 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2018 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2019 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2021 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2022 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2023 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2024 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2025 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2026 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2027 rather than being initialized to 1.
2030 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2032 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2033 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2034 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2036 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2038 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2040 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2041 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2042 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2043 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2044 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2045 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2048 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2049 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2050 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2051 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2052 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2056 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2057 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2058 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2059 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2060 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2063 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2064 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2065 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2069 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2070 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2072 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2075 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2077 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2079 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2080 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2082 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2084 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2085 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2089 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2090 exiting on the first error in a request.
2093 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2094 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2098 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2099 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2100 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2101 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2103 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2104 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2107 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2108 blocks during encryption.
2111 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2112 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2113 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2114 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2118 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2119 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2120 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2121 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2122 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2126 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2128 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2129 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2130 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2131 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2134 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2135 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2136 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2137 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2138 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2140 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2141 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2142 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2143 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2144 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2145 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2146 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2147 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2148 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2151 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2152 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2153 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2154 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2157 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2158 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2161 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2163 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2164 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2165 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2166 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2167 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2169 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2170 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2171 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2173 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2174 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2175 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2176 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2177 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2179 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2180 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2181 used by default when no-err is given.
2184 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2185 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2187 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2188 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2189 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2190 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2191 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2193 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2194 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2195 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2196 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2198 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2200 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2202 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2204 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2205 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2206 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2207 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2211 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2212 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2214 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2215 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2218 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2219 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2220 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2221 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2224 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2225 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2226 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2227 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2228 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2229 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2230 followup to PR #377.
2233 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2234 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2237 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2238 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2239 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2244 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2247 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2248 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2249 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2250 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2252 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2257 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2261 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2262 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2263 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2264 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2265 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2266 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2268 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2269 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2270 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2271 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2272 have to be made anyway).
2275 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2276 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2277 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2280 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2281 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2282 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2285 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2286 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2287 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2289 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2290 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2291 edit numbers of the version.
2292 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2294 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2295 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2298 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2299 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2301 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2302 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2303 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2305 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2308 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2309 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2311 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2312 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2314 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2315 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2317 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2319 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2321 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2322 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2323 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2325 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2326 representations in a platform independent manner.
2327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2329 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2330 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2331 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2333 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do

2338 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2340 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

2375 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2377 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2379 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2380 the 0.9.6 release series:
2382 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2383 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2385 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2387 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2390 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2391 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2393 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2394 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2396 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2397 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2398 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2399 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2401 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2402 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2403 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2405 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2406 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2407 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)

2425 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2426 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2427 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2430 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2431 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2432 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2433 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2434 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2436 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2437 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2439 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2440 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2443 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2444 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2445 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2446 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2447 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2448 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2451 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2452 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2453 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2456 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2457 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2460 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2461 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2462 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2463 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2464 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2465 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2466 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2469 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2470 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2471 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2472 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2473 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2474 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2477 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2478 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2479 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2480 declaration has been changed from
2483 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2484 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2485 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2486 has been changed into
2487 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2489 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2490 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2491 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2493 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2494 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2496 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2497 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2498 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2499 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2500 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2501 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2502 always load it have also been added.
2505 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2506 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2507 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2509 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2511 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2512 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2513 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2515 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2516 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2517 command line option can be used to specify an
2521 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2522 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2525 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2526 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2527 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2530 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2531 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2532 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2533 to work with the new engine framework.
2534 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2536 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2537 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2538 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2539 to work with the new engine framework.
2542 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2543 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2544 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2546 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2547 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2549 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2550 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2551 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2552 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2554 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2556 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2557 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2559 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2560 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2562 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2563 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2564 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2567 *) Add new functions
2569 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2570 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2571 These are similar to
2574 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2575 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2576 still in the error queue.
2577 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2579 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2581 default_algorithms = ALL
2582 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2585 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2588 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2591 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2592 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2593 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2594 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2596 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2597 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2599 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2600 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2602 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2603 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2606 *) New functions/macros
2608 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2609 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2610 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2611 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2613 to request calling a callback function
2615 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2616 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2618 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2619 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2620 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2621 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2622 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2623 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2624 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2625 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2626 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2627 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2629 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2630 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2633 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2634 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2635 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2636 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2637 the configuration scripts.
2639 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2640 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2641 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2643 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2644 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2646 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2647 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2648 when reusing an existing buffer.
2651 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2652 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2655 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2656 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2659 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2660 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2661 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2662 has the same effect.
2663 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2665 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2666 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2667 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2668 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2669 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2670 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2673 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2674 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2675 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2676 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2678 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2679 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2680 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2681 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2683 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2684 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2687 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2688 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2689 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2690 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2691 default), and then completely removed.
2694 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2695 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2696 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2697 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2698 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2699 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2700 particular extension is supported.
2703 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2704 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2707 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2708 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2709 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2710 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2711 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2712 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2713 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2714 requires the destination to be valid.
2716 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2717 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2720 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2721 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2722 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2725 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2726 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2728 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2729 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2730 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2731 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2732 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2733 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2734 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2735 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2736 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2737 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2738 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2739 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2740 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2741 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2742 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2743 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2744 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2745 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2746 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2750 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2753 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2754 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2755 become part of libeay.num as well.
2758 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2759 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2760 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2761 false once a handshake has been completed.
2762 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2763 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2764 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2765 client has followed the request.)
2768 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2769 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2770 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2771 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2773 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2774 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2775 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2778 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2781 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2782 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2783 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2786 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2787 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2790 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2791 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2792 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2793 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2796 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2797 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2798 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2799 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2800 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2801 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2804 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2805 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2806 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2807 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2808 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2809 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2810 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2811 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2814 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2815 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2818 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2821 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2822 md_data void pointer.
2825 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2826 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2827 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2828 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2829 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2830 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2833 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2834 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2835 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2836 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2837 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2838 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2839 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2840 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2841 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2842 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2843 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2844 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2845 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2846 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2847 rather than letting it slide.
2849 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2850 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2851 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2854 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2855 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2856 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2857 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2858 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2859 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2860 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2861 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2862 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2865 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2866 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2867 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2868 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2869 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2871 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2874 *) Add EVP test program.
2877 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2880 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2881 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2882 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2883 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2884 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2887 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2888 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2889 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2890 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2891 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2892 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2893 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2895 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2896 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2897 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2902 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2903 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2904 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2905 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2906 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2910 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2911 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2912 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2913 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2916 des_key_schedule ks;
2918 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2919 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2921 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2924 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2925 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2926 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2927 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2928 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2929 functions prevents this.
2932 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2935 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2936 correct _ecb suffix.
2939 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2940 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2941 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2942 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2943 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2946 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2949 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2950 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2951 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2952 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2954 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2955 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2957 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2958 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2959 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2960 via Richard Levitte]
2962 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2963 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2964 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2965 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2968 *) Speed up EVP routines.

2986 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2987 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2989 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2990 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2991 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2992 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2993 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2994 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2997 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2998 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3001 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3002 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3003 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3004 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3006 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3007 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3008 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3009 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3010 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3011 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3015 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3016 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3017 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3018 and interrupts/cancellations.
3021 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3022 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3025 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3026 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3027 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3029 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3030 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3034 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3035 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3036 than this minimum value is recommended.
3039 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3040 that are easily reachable.
3043 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3044 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3046 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3048 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3049 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3050 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3051 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3054 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3055 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3056 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3059 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3060 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3061 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3062 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3063 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3064 internally such as S/MIME.
3066 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3067 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3068 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3070 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3074 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3075 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3076 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3077 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3079 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3081 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3083 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3084 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3085 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3089 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3090 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3091 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3092 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3093 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3094 a window system and the like.
3097 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3098 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3101 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3102 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3103 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3104 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3105 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3106 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3107 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3108 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3109 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3113 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3114 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3118 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3119 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3120 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3121 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3122 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3123 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3124 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3125 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3128 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3129 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3130 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3131 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3132 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3133 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3134 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3135 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3136 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3137 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3138 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3139 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3140 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3141 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3142 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3143 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3144 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3147 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3148 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3149 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3150 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3151 internal engine_int.h header.
3154 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3155 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3156 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3157 modify their own ones).
3160 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3161 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3162 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3163 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3164 later on via ctrl() commands.
3165 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3166 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3167 structural references.
3168 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3169 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3170 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3171 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3172 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3173 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3174 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3175 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3176 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3177 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3178 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3179 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3182 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3183 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3184 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3185 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3186 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3187 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3188 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3189 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3192 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3193 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3196 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3197 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3200 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3201 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3202 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3203 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3204 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3205 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3206 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3209 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3210 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3211 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3212 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3213 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3215 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3216 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3220 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3222 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3223 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3224 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3226 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3227 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3229 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3230 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3231 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3233 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3234 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3236 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3237 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3239 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3241 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3242 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3243 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3246 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3247 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3250 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3251 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3252 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3253 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3254 is 40 of more characters long.
3257 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3258 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3262 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3263 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3266 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3267 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3271 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3273 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3274 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3277 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3279 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3280 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3281 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3283 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3284 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3286 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3289 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3293 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3294 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3295 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3296 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3298 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3300 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3301 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3303 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3304 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3305 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3306 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3307 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3308 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3310 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3311 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3313 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3314 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3316 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3317 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3319 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3320 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3321 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3322 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3324 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3325 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3327 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3328 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3330 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3331 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3332 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3333 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3334 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3337 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3338 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3339 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3340 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3343 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3344 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3345 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3349 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3350 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3351 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3352 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3353 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3354 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3355 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3356 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3360 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3361 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3364 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3365 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3366 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3367 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3370 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3371 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3372 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3373 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3374 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3375 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3376 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3377 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3378 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3379 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3382 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3383 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3384 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3385 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3386 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3387 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3388 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3389 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3391 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3392 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3393 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3394 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3397 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3398 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3399 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3400 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3402 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3403 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3404 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3405 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3406 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3410 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3411 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3412 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3413 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3417 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3418 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3419 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3422 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3423 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3424 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3425 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3426 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3429 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3432 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3433 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3434 option to ocsp utility.
3437 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3438 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3439 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3440 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3441 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3442 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3443 the request is nonce-less.
3446 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3447 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3448 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3451 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3452 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3453 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3456 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3457 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3458 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3459 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3460 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3463 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3464 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3468 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3469 additional certificates supplied.
3472 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3473 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3477 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3478 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3481 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3482 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3483 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3484 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3485 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3486 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3487 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3488 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3489 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3491 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3492 request to response.
3495 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3496 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3497 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3498 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3499 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3500 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3501 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3502 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3503 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3504 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3505 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3508 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3509 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3510 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3511 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3514 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3515 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3517 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3518 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3519 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3522 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3523 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3524 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.

3526 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3528 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3529 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3530 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3533 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3534 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3535 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3536 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3537 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3538 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.

3542 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3543 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3544 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3545 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3546 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3547 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3550 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3551 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3552 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3553 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3554 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3555 printout format cleaned up.
3558 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3559 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3560 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3561 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3562 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3563 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3564 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3565 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3568 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3569 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3570 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3571 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3572 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3573 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3574 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3575 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3578 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3579 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3580 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3581 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3583 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3585 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3586 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3587 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3588 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3591 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3592 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3593 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3594 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3596 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3598 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3599 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3600 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3601 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3603 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3604 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3606 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3607 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3608 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3611 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3612 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3613 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3616 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3617 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3618 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3619 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3620 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3621 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3622 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3623 functions are provided:
3625 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3626 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3627 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3628 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3630 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3631 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3632 extended allocation function is enabled.
3633 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3634 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3635 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3637 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3638 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3639 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3640 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3641 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3644 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3645 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3646 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3648 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3649 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3650 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3653 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3654 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3655 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3656 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3657 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3658 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3659 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3660 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3661 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3664 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3665 provide utility functions which an application needing
3666 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3667 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3668 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3670 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3671 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
