5 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
9 This work was sponsored by Google.
12 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
13 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
15 This work was sponsored by Google.
18 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
19 and URI types are currently supported.
21 This work was sponsored by Google.
24 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
25 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
26 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
27 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
28 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
29 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
30 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
31 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
33 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
34 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
35 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
37 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
38 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
39 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
40 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
41 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
42 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
43 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
44 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
46 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
48 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
49 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
50 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
52 This work was sponsored by Google.
55 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
58 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
59 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
60 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
63 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
64 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
67 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
68 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
71 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
72 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
73 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
74 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
75 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
76 content types and variants.
79 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
82 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
83 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
84 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
85 files from the associated perl scripts.
88 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
89 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
90 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
92 *) s390x assembler pack.
95 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
99 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
100 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
101 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
102 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
103 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
104 to use. For example, specify an option
106 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
108 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
109 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
110 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
111 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
112 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
113 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
115 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
116 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
117 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
118 return non-zero for success.
120 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
123 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
124 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
128 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
131 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
132 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
133 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
134 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
135 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
136 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
137 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
138 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
139 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
141 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
142 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
143 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
144 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
145 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
146 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
148 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
149 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
150 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
151 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
152 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
153 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
157 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
160 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
162 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
163 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
164 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
167 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
168 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
171 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
172 protection in servers so again support should be possible
173 with no application modification.
175 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
176 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
178 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
179 or server extensions to be examined.
181 This work was sponsored by Google.
184 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
185 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
186 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
188 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
189 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
191 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
193 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
194 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
195 to output in BER and PEM format.
198 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
199 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
200 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
201 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
202 -macopt options to dgst utility.
205 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
206 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
207 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
211 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
212 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
213 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
214 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
215 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
216 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
217 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
218 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
221 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
222 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
223 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
224 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
226 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
227 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
228 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
232 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
233 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
234 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
235 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
236 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
237 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
238 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
239 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
240 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
242 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
243 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
244 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
245 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
246 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
247 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
248 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
249 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
250 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
251 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
252 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
255 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
256 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
257 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
259 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
260 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
264 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
265 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
266 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
269 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
270 it yet and it is largely untested.
273 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
276 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
277 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
278 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
281 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
284 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
285 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
286 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
287 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
290 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
291 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
292 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
293 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
294 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
297 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
298 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
301 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
302 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
303 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
304 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
307 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
308 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
309 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
310 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
313 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
314 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
317 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
318 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
319 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
320 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
323 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
324 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
325 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
328 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
332 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
333 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
336 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
337 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
338 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
342 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
343 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
344 to free up any added signature OIDs.
347 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
348 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
349 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
350 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
353 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
354 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
355 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
356 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
357 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
358 the array representation useful in a more general context.
361 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
362 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
363 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
364 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
365 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
367 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
368 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
369 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
370 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
371 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
374 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
375 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
376 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
377 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
379 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
380 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
381 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
382 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
383 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
389 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
390 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
394 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
395 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
398 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
399 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
402 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
403 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
404 functional reference processing.
407 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
408 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
412 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
413 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
414 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
417 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
418 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
419 application to support multiple signers.
422 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
426 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
427 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
428 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
429 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
430 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
433 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
437 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
438 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
439 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
440 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
444 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
445 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
446 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
447 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
448 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
449 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
450 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
451 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
454 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
455 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
456 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
457 between digests and public key types.
460 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
461 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
462 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
463 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
466 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
467 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
471 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
474 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
478 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
479 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
480 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
481 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
486 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
488 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
490 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
492 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
493 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
494 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
495 functionality for RSA.
498 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
499 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
500 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
503 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
504 key API, doesn't do much yet.
507 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
508 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
509 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
512 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
513 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
516 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
517 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
520 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
521 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
525 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
526 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
527 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
531 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
532 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
533 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
534 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
535 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
536 of public and private key structures.
539 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
540 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
543 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
544 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
545 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
548 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
552 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
553 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
555 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
557 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
559 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
560 and response verification functionality.
561 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
563 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
564 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
565 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
566 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
567 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
568 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
569 server_name extension.
571 New functions (subject to change):
574 SSL_get_servername_type()
577 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
579 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
580 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
581 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
582 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
583 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
585 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
587 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
588 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
589 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
590 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
591 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
592 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
595 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
597 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
600 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
601 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
602 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
603 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
604 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
607 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
608 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
612 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
613 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
614 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
615 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
618 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
619 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
620 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
621 using the maximum available value.
624 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
625 in addition to the text details.
628 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
629 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
630 handle several customised structures at all.
633 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
634 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
635 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
638 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
641 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
642 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
643 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
646 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
647 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
648 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
651 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
652 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
656 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
659 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
662 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
664 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
667 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
670 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
672 This work was sponsored by Logica.
675 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
676 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
677 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
679 This work was sponsored by Logica.
682 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
684 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
685 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
686 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
687 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
689 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
690 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
693 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
695 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
696 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
697 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
699 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
701 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
702 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
703 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
704 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
707 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
708 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
709 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
710 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
711 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
712 invalid read after the end of 'db').
713 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
715 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
716 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
717 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
718 sets may exist with different names.
721 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
722 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
723 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
724 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
725 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
726 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
727 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
728 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
729 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
731 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
733 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
734 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
735 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
736 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
738 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
739 uncompresses any data passed through it.
742 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
743 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
746 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
747 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
748 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
749 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
750 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
751 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
755 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
756 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

778 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
779 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
780 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
781 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
782 to s_client and s_server.
785 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
788 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
789 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
790 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
791 + Fix ia64 assembler code
792 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
794 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
796 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
797 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
798 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
799 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
800 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
801 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
802 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
803 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
806 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
807 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
808 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
811 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
812 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
813 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
816 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
817 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
820 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
821 protection in servers so again support should be possible
822 with no application modification.
824 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
825 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
827 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
828 or server extensions to be examined.
830 This work was sponsored by Google.
833 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
834 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
835 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
836 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
837 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
838 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
839 server_name extension.
841 New functions (subject to change):
844 SSL_get_servername_type()
847 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
849 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
850 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
851 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
852 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
853 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
855 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
857 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
858 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
859 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
860 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
861 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
862 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
865 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
867 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
870 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
873 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
874 (which previously caused an internal error).
877 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
880 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
881 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
883 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
884 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
885 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
887 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
888 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
889 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
890 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
892 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
893 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
894 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
897 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
898 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
899 information. For detailed background information, see
900 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
901 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
902 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
903 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
904 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
905 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
906 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
907 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
908 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
909 remove a conditional branch.
911 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
912 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
913 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
914 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
915 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
916 remains as a deprecated alias.
918 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
919 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
920 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
921 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
923 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
924 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
925 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
926 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
927 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
928 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
929 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
930 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
932 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
934 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
935 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
936 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
937 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
938 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
939 with applications using a single external cache for quite
940 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
941 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
942 in a different context.
945 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
946 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
947 authentication-only ciphersuites.
950 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
952 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
953 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
954 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
955 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
956 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
959 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
960 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
961 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
962 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
963 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
964 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
967 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
968 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
969 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
970 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
971 message has informed the client about his choice.)
974 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
975 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
977 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
978 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
979 Improve header file function name parsing.
982 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
983 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
986 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
988 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
989 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
990 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
992 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
993 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
995 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
996 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
998 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
999 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1000 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1002 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1003 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1004 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1005 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1006 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1007 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1008 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1009 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1010 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1012 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1013 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1014 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1015 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1016 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1018 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1019 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1020 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1021 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1022 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1023 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1024 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1025 multiple values to extend the available space.
1029 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1031 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1032 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1034 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1037 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1038 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1039 undesirable limitations.
1040 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1042 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1043 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1044 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1045 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1046 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1047 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1048 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1051 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1053 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1054 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1055 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1057 The latter two were purportedly from
1058 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1061 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1062 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1063 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1066 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1067 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1070 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1071 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1072 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1073 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1075 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1076 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1077 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1080 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1081 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1082 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1083 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1084 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1085 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1088 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1090 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1091 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1094 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1095 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1097 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1098 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1099 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1100 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1103 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1104 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1107 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1108 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1109 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1110 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1111 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1112 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1113 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1117 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1118 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1119 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1120 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1123 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1124 under VC++ build system.
1127 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1128 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1131 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1133 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1134 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1135 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1136 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1137 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1139 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1140 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1141 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1143 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1146 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1147 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1150 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1151 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1153 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1156 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1157 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1159 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1160 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1163 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1164 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

1170 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1173 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1176 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1177 key into the same file any more.
1180 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1183 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1184 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1186 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1187 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1190 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1191 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1192 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1193 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1194 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1195 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1197 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1198 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1199 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1202 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1203 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1204 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1205 - add new function for parameter creation
1206 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1207 BN_BLINDING parameters
1208 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1209 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1210 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1214 *) Add support for DTLS.
1215 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1217 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1218 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1221 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1222 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1225 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1226 the apps/openssl applications.
1229 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1230 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1231 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1234 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1235 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1237 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1238 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1240 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1241 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1242 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1243 avoid this algorithm.)
1247 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1248 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1249 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1252 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1253 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1256 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1257 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1258 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1261 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1263 The blank line is mandatory.
1267 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1268 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1272 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1273 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1275 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1276 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1277 to support policy checking and print out.
1280 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1281 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1282 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1283 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1285 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1288 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1289 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1291 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1292 implementation contributed by IBM.
1293 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1295 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1296 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1297 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1298 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1300 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1301 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1303 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1304 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1305 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1306 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1307 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1308 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1311 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1312 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1313 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1314 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1315 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1316 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1317 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1320 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1323 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1324 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1325 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1326 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1327 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1328 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1329 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1330 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1333 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1334 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1335 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1336 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1339 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1342 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1345 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1346 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1347 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1348 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1349 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1350 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1351 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1354 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1355 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1358 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1359 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1360 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1363 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1364 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1365 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1369 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1370 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1373 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1374 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1375 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1376 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1379 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1380 initialised value as BN_new().
1381 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1383 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1386 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1387 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1388 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1389 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1390 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1391 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1392 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1393 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1394 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1395 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1396 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1397 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1398 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1399 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1400 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1402 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1403 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1404 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1405 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1408 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1409 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1410 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1411 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1412 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1413 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1414 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1415 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1416 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1419 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1420 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1421 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1422 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1423 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1424 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1425 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1428 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1429 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1430 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1431 these have been updated also.
1434 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1435 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1436 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1437 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1438 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1442 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1443 structure of type "other".
1446 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1447 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1448 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1449 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1450 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1451 situation in the script.
1452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1454 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1455 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1456 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1457 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1458 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1459 used as premaster secret.
1460 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1462 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1463 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1464 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1466 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1467 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1469 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1470 control of the error stack.
1473 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1476 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1477 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1478 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1479 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1482 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1483 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1484 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1487 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1488 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1489 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1493 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1494 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1495 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1496 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1499 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1500 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1501 the following flags are defined:
1503 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1504 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1505 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1508 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1509 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1510 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1511 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1515 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1516 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1517 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1518 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1519 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1522 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1523 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1524 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1527 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1528 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1529 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1530 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1531 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1532 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1535 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1539 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1542 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1545 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1548 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1549 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1550 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1551 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1552 default implementation more easily.
1555 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1559 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1560 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1563 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1564 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1565 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1566 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1568 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1569 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1570 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1571 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1574 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1575 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1579 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1580 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1581 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1582 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1583 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1584 scalar * generator).
1585 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1587 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1588 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1589 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1593 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1594 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1595 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1596 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1597 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1598 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1599 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1600 linker additions, eg;
1601 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1604 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1605 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1606 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1609 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1610 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1611 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1615 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1616 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1617 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1618 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1621 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1622 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1623 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1624 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1625 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1626 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1627 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1628 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1629 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1630 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1632 Example for using the new callback interface:
1634 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1638 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1640 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1641 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1642 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1643 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1644 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1645 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1650 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1651 available to TLS with the number defined in
1652 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1655 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1656 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1658 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1659 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1660 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1661 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1663 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1664 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1666 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1667 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1671 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1672 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1675 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1676 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1677 and a macro that behave like
1678 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1680 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1683 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1684 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1685 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1687 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1689 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1692 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1693 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1694 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1695 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1697 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1698 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1699 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1700 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1701 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1702 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1703 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1704 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1706 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1707 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1710 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1711 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1713 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1714 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1715 files while avoiding the low level API.
1717 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1718 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1719 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1720 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1722 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1723 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1724 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1725 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1726 instead of the low level API.
1729 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1730 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1731 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1732 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1733 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1736 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1737 down to the template encoder.
1740 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1741 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1744 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1745 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1746 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1747 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1749 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1750 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1752 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1753 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1755 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1756 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1759 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1760 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1761 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1764 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1765 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1767 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1768 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1770 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1771 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1774 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1778 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1779 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1780 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1781 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1782 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1783 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1785 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1786 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1789 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1790 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1791 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1792 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1793 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1794 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1795 various internal method names.)
1797 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1798 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1800 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1801 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1803 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1804 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1806 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1807 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1808 methods are undefined.
1810 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1811 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1813 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1814 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1815 length of the modulus.
1817 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1818 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1820 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1821 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1823 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1824 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1826 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1827 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1828 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1831 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1832 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1833 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1834 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]

1841 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1842 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1844 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1845 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1846 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1847 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1848 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1850 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1851 This applies to the following functions:
1856 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1857 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1859 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1860 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1864 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1869 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1871 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1872 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1873 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1874 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1875 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1877 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1878 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1880 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1881 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1882 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1884 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1885 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1887 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1888 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1889 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1890 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1891 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1893 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1895 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1896 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1897 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1898 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1899 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1900 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1901 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1902 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1903 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1904 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1905 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1906 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1908 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1911 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1912 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1913 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1914 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1916 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1917 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1918 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1919 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1924 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1925 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1926 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1927 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1928 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1930 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1931 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1932 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1933 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1934 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1935 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1936 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1937 adding different types of curves.
1938 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1940 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1941 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1942 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1945 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1946 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1948 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1949 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1950 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1951 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1953 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1955 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1956 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1958 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1959 library. Most notably,
1960 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1961 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1962 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1963 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1964 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1965 extracted before the specific public key;
1966 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1967 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1969 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1970 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1972 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1973 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1974 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1975 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1977 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1978 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1979 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1981 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1982 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1983 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1984 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1985 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1986 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1990 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1992 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1993 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1994 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1995 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1996 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1997 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1998 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1999 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2000 in a different context.
2003 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2005 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2007 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2009 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2010 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2011 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2014 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2015 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2016 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2019 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2022 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2023 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2026 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2027 run algorithm test programs.
2030 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2033 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2034 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2035 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2036 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2037 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2040 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2041 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2044 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2046 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2047 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2048 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2050 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2051 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2053 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2054 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2056 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2057 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2058 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2060 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2061 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2062 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2063 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2064 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2065 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2066 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2069 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2071 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2072 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2074 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2075 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2076 undesirable limitations.
2077 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2079 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2081 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2082 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2083 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2085 The latter two were purportedly from
2086 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2089 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2090 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2091 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2094 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2095 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2098 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2100 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2101 module in FIPS mode.
2104 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2107 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2108 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2109 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2110 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2113 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2115 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2116 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2117 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2118 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2119 the difference induced by this change.
2122 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2124 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2125 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2126 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2127 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2128 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2130 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2131 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2132 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2134 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2135 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2138 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2139 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2140 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2141 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2145 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2146 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2147 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2148 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2149 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2151 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2152 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2153 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2154 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2155 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2156 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2158 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2160 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2161 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2162 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2163 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2164 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2167 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2171 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2172 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2173 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2176 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2177 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2178 structures constant.
2181 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2183 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2186 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2187 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2188 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2189 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2190 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2191 some needed definitions.
2194 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2197 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2198 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2199 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2200 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2203 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2205 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2206 server and client random values. Previously
2207 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2208 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2210 This change has negligible security impact because:
2212 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2215 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2218 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2219 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2222 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2225 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2227 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2230 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2231 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2232 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2234 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2237 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2238 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2241 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2242 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2243 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2245 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2248 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2249 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2250 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2254 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2255 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2256 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2257 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2259 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2260 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2261 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2262 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2266 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2268 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2269 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2270 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2271 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2272 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2275 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2278 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2279 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2281 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2282 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2283 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2284 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2285 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2286 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2287 rather than being initialized to 1.
2290 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2292 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2293 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2294 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2296 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2298 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2300 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2301 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2302 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2303 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2304 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2305 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2308 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2309 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2310 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2311 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2312 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2316 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2317 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2318 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2319 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2320 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2323 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2324 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2325 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2329 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2330 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2332 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2335 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2337 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2339 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2340 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2342 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2344 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2345 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2349 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2350 exiting on the first error in a request.
2353 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2354 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2358 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2359 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2360 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2361 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2363 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2364 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2367 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2368 blocks during encryption.
2371 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2372 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2373 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2374 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2378 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2379 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2380 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2381 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2382 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2386 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2388 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2389 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2390 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2391 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2394 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2395 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2396 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2397 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2398 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2400 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2401 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2402 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2403 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2404 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2405 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2406 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2407 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2408 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2411 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2412 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2413 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2414 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2417 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2418 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2421 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2423 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2424 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2425 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2426 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2427 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2429 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2430 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2431 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2433 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2434 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2435 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2436 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2437 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2439 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2440 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2441 used by default when no-err is given.
2444 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2445 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2447 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2448 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2449 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2450 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2451 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2453 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2454 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2455 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2456 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2458 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2460 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2462 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2464 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2465 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2466 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2467 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2471 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2472 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2474 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2475 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2478 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2479 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2480 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2481 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2484 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2485 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2486 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2487 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2488 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2489 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2490 followup to PR #377.
2493 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2494 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2497 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2498 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2499 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2500 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2502 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2504 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2507 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2508 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2509 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2510 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2512 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2516 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2517 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2521 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2522 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2523 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2524 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2525 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2526 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2528 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2529 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2530 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2531 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2532 have to be made anyway).
2535 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2536 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2537 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2540 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2541 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2542 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2545 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2546 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2547 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2549 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2550 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2551 edit numbers of the version.
2552 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2554 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2555 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2556 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2558 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2559 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2561 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2562 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2563 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2565 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2566 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2568 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2569 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2571 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2572 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2574 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2575 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2577 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2579 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2581 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2582 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2583 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2585 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2586 representations in a platform independent manner.
2587 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2589 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2590 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2591 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2593 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do

2597 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2598 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2600 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2602 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]

2608 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2610 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2612 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2613 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2615 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.

2621 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

2624 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2626 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2628 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

2631 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

2634 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2635 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2637 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2639 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2640 the 0.9.6 release series:
2642 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2643 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2645 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2647 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2650 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2651 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2653 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2654 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2656 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2657 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2658 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2659 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2661 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2662 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2663 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2665 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2666 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2667 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2668 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2670 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2671 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2672 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2675 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2676 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2677 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2678 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2679 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2680 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2681 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2682 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2685 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2686 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2687 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2690 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2691 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2692 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2693 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2694 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2696 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2697 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2699 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2700 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2703 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2704 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2705 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2706 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2707 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2708 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2711 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2712 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2713 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2716 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2717 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2720 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2721 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2722 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2723 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2724 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2725 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2726 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2729 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2730 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2731 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2732 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2733 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2734 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2737 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2738 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2739 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2740 declaration has been changed from
2743 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2744 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2745 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2746 has been changed into
2747 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2749 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2750 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2751 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2753 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2754 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2756 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2757 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2758 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2759 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2760 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2761 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2762 always load it have also been added.
2765 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2766 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2767 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2769 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2771 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2772 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2773 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2775 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2776 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2777 command line option can be used to specify an
2781 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2782 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2785 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2786 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2787 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2790 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2791 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2792 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2793 to work with the new engine framework.
2794 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2796 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2797 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2798 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2799 to work with the new engine framework.
2802 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2803 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2804 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2806 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2807 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2809 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2810 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2811 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2812 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2814 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2816 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2817 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2819 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2820 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2822 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2823 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2824 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2827 *) Add new functions
2829 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2830 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2831 These are similar to
2834 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2835 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2836 still in the error queue.
2837 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2839 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2841 default_algorithms = ALL
2842 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2845 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2848 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2851 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2852 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2853 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2854 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2856 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2857 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2859 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2860 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2862 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2863 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2866 *) New functions/macros
2868 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2869 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2870 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2871 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2873 to request calling a callback function
2875 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2876 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2878 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2879 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2880 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2881 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2882 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2883 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2884 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2885 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2886 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2887 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2889 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2890 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2893 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2894 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2895 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2896 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2897 the configuration scripts.
2899 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2900 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2901 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2903 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2904 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2906 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2907 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2908 when reusing an existing buffer.
2911 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2912 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2915 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2916 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2919 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2920 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2921 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2922 has the same effect.
2923 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2925 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2926 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2927 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2928 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2929 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2930 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2933 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2934 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2935 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2936 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2938 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2939 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2940 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2941 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2943 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2944 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2947 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2948 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2949 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2950 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2951 default), and then completely removed.
2954 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2955 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2956 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2957 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2958 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2959 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2960 particular extension is supported.
2963 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2964 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2967 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2968 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2969 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2970 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2971 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2972 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2973 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2974 requires the destination to be valid.
2976 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2977 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2980 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2981 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2982 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2985 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2986 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2988 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2989 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2990 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2991 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2992 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2993 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2994 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2995 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2996 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2997 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2998 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2999 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3000 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3001 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3002 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3003 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3004 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3005 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3006 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3010 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3013 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3014 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3015 become part of libeay.num as well.
3018 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3019 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3020 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3021 false once a handshake has been completed.
3022 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3023 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3024 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3025 client has followed the request.)
3028 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3029 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3030 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3031 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3033 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3034 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3035 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3038 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3041 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3042 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3043 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3046 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3047 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3050 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3051 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3052 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3053 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3056 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3057 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3058 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3059 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3060 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3061 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3064 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3065 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3066 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3067 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3068 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3069 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3070 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3071 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3074 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3075 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3078 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3081 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3082 md_data void pointer.
3085 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3086 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3087 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3088 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3089 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3090 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3093 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3094 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3095 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3096 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3097 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3098 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3099 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3100 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3101 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3102 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3103 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3104 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3105 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3106 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3107 rather than letting it slide.
3109 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3110 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3111 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3114 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3115 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3116 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3117 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3118 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3119 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3120 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3121 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3122 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3125 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3126 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3127 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3128 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3129 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3131 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3134 *) Add EVP test program.
3137 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3140 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3141 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3142 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3143 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3144 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3147 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3148 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3149 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3150 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3151 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3152 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3153 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3155 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3156 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3157 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3162 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3163 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3164 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3165 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3166 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3170 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3171 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3172 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3173 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3176 des_key_schedule ks;
3178 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3179 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3181 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3184 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3185 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3186 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3187 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3188 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3189 functions prevents this.
3192 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3195 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3196 correct _ecb suffix.
3199 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3200 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3201 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3202 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3203 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3206 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3209 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3210 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3211 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3212 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3214 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3215 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3217 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3218 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3219 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3220 via Richard Levitte]
3222 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3223 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3224 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3225 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3228 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3231 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3246 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3247 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3249 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3250 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3251 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3252 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3253 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3254 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3257 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3258 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3261 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3262 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3263 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3264 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3266 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3267 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3268 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3269 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3270 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3271 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3275 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3276 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3277 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3278 and interrupts/cancellations.
3281 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3282 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3285 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3286 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3287 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3289 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3290 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3294 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3295 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3296 than this minimum value is recommended.
3299 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3300 that are easily reachable.
3303 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3304 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3306 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3308 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3309 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3310 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3311 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3314 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3315 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3316 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3319 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3320 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3321 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3322 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3323 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3324 internally such as S/MIME.
3326 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3327 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3328 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3330 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3334 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3335 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3336 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3337 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3339 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3341 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3343 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3344 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3345 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3349 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3350 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3351 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3352 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3353 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3354 a window system and the like.
3357 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3358 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3361 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3362 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3363 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3364 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3365 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3366 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3367 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3368 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3369 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3373 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3374 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3378 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3379 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3380 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3381 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3382 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3383 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3384 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3385 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3388 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3389 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3390 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3391 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3392 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3393 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3394 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3395 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3396 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3397 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3398 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3399 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3400 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3401 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3402 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3403 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3404 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3407 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3408 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3409 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3410 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3411 internal engine_int.h header.
3414 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3415 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3416 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3417 modify their own ones).
3420 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3421 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3422 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3423 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3424 later on via ctrl() commands.
3425 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3426 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3427 structural references.
3428 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3429 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3430 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3431 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3432 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3433 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3434 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3435 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3436 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3437 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3438 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3439 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3442 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3443 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3444 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3445 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3446 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3447 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3448 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3449 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3452 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3453 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3456 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3457 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3460 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3461 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3462 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3463 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3464 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3465 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3466 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3469 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3470 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3471 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3472 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3473 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3475 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3476 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3480 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3482 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3483 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3484 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3486 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3487 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3489 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3490 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3491 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3493 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3494 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3496 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3497 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3499 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3501 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3502 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3503 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3506 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3507 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3510 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3511 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3512 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3513 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3514 is 40 of more characters long.
3517 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3518 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3522 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3523 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3526 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3527 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3531 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3533 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3534 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3537 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3539 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3540 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3541 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3543 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3544 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3546 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3549 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3553 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3554 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3555 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3556 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3558 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3560 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.

3563 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3564 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3565 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3566 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3567 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3568 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3570 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3571 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3573 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3574 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3576 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3577 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3579 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3580 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3581 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3582 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3584 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3585 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3587 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3588 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3590 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3591 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3592 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3593 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3594 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3597 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3598 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3599 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3600 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3603 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3604 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3605 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3609 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3610 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3611 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3612 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3613 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3614 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3615 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3616 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3620 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3621 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3624 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3625 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3626 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3627 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3630 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3631 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3632 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3633 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3634 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3635 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3636 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3637 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3638 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3639 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3642 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3643 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3644 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3645 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3646 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3647 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3648 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3649 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3651 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3652 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3653 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3654 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3657 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3658 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3659 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3660 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3662 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3663 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3664 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3665 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3666 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3670 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3671 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3672 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3673 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3677 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3678 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3679 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
