The binary algorithm can be + used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster + only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli, + roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli + up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm + appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it + for moduli up to 2048 bits. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all + versions of 'test'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001] + + *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode() + [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng ] + + *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain + the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl + scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp" + if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in + CygWin. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code + could not support the combine flag in choice fields. + [Steve Henson] + + -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data. + If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total + amount of data available. + [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org] + [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.] + + *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution + (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug). + For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced + in the bctest version that searches along $PATH). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes + with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris + and UnixWare. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton: + On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic + Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119, + http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz). + [Ulf Moeller] + + *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code. + [Richard Levitte] + + -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length + after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag. + [Steve Henson] + [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.] + + *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered + if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include + PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old + (but broken) behaviour. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print + it when found. + [Tim Rice via Richard Levitte] + + +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies + extensions from a certificate request to the certificate. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated + by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config + file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be + signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included + or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display + multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy + and couldn't display additional details such as extensions. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary; + don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication + of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally + including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP. + EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case + that the point list has just one item (besides the optional + generator). + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p): + + EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr + operations and provides various method functions that can also + operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic. + + EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of + EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic. + + [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling + implementation directly derived from source code provided by + Lenka Fibikova ] + + +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h, + crypto/ec/ec_lib.c): + + Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator) + based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library. + + Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects. + + Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary + finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other + than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires + that the file contains a complete HTTP response. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl + change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX" + to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the + field while the former will cause them to run together if the field + is 40 of more characters long. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures + and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER + pointers. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously + did not exist. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5. + [Jeremy Cooper ] + + +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them + in . Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the + internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions + might. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts: + + Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7 + (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32. + + ASN1 error codes + ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR + ... + ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS + were 4 .. 9, conflicting with + ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB) + ... + ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB). + They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL). + + Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock + suffices. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This + sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the + subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are + 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT' + and + 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'. + + Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'. + [Massimiliano Pala ] + + *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through + functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting + global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality, + one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro + "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter + is normally done by Configure or something similar). + + To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL + in the source file (foo.c) like this: + + OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1; + OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar); + + To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL + and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this: + + OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo); + #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo) + OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar); + #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar) + + The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the + header file everywere where the defined globals are used. + + The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition + of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different. + + The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with + better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should + go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code + cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted + lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites). + [Richard Levitte] + + *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for + X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index. + [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala ] + + +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the + result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten + and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused + problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod(). + [Steve Henson] + + +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an + OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer + certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request + trust settings. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP + responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only + be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies + between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses + caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead + we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of + the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be + checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to + ocsp utility. + [Steve Henson] + + +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its + OID rather that just UNKOWN. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if + X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when + PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and + OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate + ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be + passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp(). + [Steve Henson] + + +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new + ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers + instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several + new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to + be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM + references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant + macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow + use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures + is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting + functions returning pointers to structures is not. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs. + These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL. + The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish, + the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it + can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A + command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes + to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server". + [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke] + + +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals + of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and + '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids + the growing number of special cases it was previously handling. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid. + New function OPENSSL_issetugid(). + [Ulf Moeller] + + +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making + sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting + with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making + sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with + opensslconf.h. + Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform- + specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these + are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another + macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined + from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on + what is available. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial + number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self + signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the + CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was + auto incremented. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c) + due to incorrect handling of multi-threading: + + 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(). + + 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on(). + + 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that + nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids + inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the + assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible). + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions. + Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are + supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server. + [Lutz Jaenicke] + + +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to + disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP + API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is + not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple + of the block size, otherwise an error occurs. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x. + [Kurt Hockenbury and + "Bruce W. Forsberg" ] + + +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host, + port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url + option to ocsp utility. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now + reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide + whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce + in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application + just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce() + this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if + the request is nonce-less. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME + was empty. + [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.] + + *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than + copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors" + but the code is actually correct. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are + skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file, + e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) ] + + +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates + passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the + reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified. + [Steve Henson] + + -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The + macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF + and break the signature. + [Steve Henson] + [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.] + + *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in + DH ciphersuites. + [Steve Henson] + + +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT + to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This + was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures. + [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette + ] + + +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1 + routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful. + Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines. + [Steve Henson] - *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX + *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in + OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init() + aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved + compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates + with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM. + ["Bruce W. Forsberg" ] + + *) ./config script fixes. + [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte] + + +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new(). + Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which + effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it + is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value + and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or + V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime. + [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette + ] + + +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously + result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was + not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used + and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER() + to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER() + where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which + convert status values to strings have been renamed to: + OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and + OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options + to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response + printout format cleaned up. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified + in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the + certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate + or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the + OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key + usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP + signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash + in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify() + and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate + verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and + to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be + performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see + if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set + a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that + chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3 + extensions from a separate configuration file. + As when reading extensions from the main configuration file, + the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the + section to use. + [Massimiliano Pala ] + + *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null + terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen + parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done + by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni(). + [Steve Henson, reported by ] + + +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or + read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output + parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet: + still needs to check the OCSP response validity. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca': + 'openssl ca -status ' prints the status of the cert with + the given serial number (according to the index file). + 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates + in the index file. + [Massimiliano Pala ] + + +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like + '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option + so that the resulting key is not encrypted. + [Damien Miller ] + + +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd. + [Jonathan Bartlett via Richard Levitte] + + +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This + is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's + certificate and verifies the signature on the response. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in + value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option + to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn + call failed, free the DSA structure. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given + file name and line number information in additional arguments + (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as + well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(), + realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these + additional arguments. To register and find out the current + settings for extended allocation functions, the following + functions are provided: + + CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions + CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions + CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions + CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions + + These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends. + CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an + extended allocation function is enabled. + Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where + a conventional allocation function is enabled. + [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings. + These are present in some PKCS#12 files. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts. + There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using + the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See + the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details + (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example). + [Geoff Thorpe] + + +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant. + If an EGD or PRNGD is running and enough entropy is returned, automatic + seeding like with /dev/[u]random will be performed. + Positions tried are: /etc/entropy, /var/run/egd-pool. + [Lutz Jaenicke] + + +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several + random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount + of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file + (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now + defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom" + (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical + platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur. + Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c. + For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These + provide utility functions which an application needing + to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the + response will typically need: as opposed to those which an + OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later. + + OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar + to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP + response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response + from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status + information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created + when the request structure is built). These are built from lower + level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but + wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine + extensions in the OCSP response for example. + + Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions. + OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally + generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the + validity of the nonce in an OCSP response. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id(). + This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the + need to free up the newly created id. Change return type + to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure. + This can then be used to add extensions to the request. + Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality + is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name + clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which + will be added elsewhere. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from + various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new + OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which + can be used to send requests and parse the response. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new + ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN + uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes + and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long + standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing + it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the + encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes: + it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken + software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding + as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class) + to produce the required SET OF. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and + OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header + files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many + PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs: + asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was + NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i(). + New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant + ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These + replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of + the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor + lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make + it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and + unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers + to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove + some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old + code will still work when these eventually go away. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the + same conventions as certificates and CRLs. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and + adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various + flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for + certifcates and CRLs. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when + an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the + OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c). + Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits + when writing a 32767 byte record. + [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day ] + + *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c), + obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}. + + (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected + by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c], + so they are meant to be shared between threads.) + [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by + "Reddie, Steven" ] + + +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate + entries for variables. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks(). + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking + problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have + to do is register a locking callback using an array for + storing which locks are currently held by the program. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in + SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in + ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time + during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential. + Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited + for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL. + [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe] + + +) Move common extension printing code to new function + X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and + implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions. + [Steve Henson] + + +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some + print routines. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both + set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This + is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the + encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7 + structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK + order did not reflect the encoded order. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure + for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist + for now but they will eventually go away. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost + completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven + encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing + the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is + largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1 + has also been converted to the new form. + [Steve Henson] + + +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated + (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set + so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work + for negative moduli. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead + of not touching the result's sign bit. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be + set. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created + macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions + that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the + type-specific callbacks. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Use better test patterns in bntest. + [Ulf Möller] + + +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in + RFC 2712. + [Veers Staats , + Jeffrey Altman , via Richard Levitte] + + *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C. + [Ulf Möller] + + *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided + in sections depending on the subject. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under + Windows. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime + (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless + p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can + be handled deterministically). + [Lenka Fibikova , Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs + so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to + avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side + always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original + result of the server certificate verification.) + [Lutz Jaenicke] + + +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients + in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or + 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].) + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type + SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0. + Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Fix SSL_peek: + Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier + releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous + implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal + and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters + to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to + ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately. + A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which + does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) New function BN_kronecker. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is + positive unless both parameters are zero. + Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was + possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking + in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the + sign of the number in question. + + Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0. + + The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w) + because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'. + Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably; + it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(), + BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word(). + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling + the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after + calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was + happening the other way round. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + +) New function BN_swap. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that + the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable + results on negative inputs. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative. + Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative; + I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c + (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c, + and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c) + and add new functions: + + BN_nnmod + BN_mod_sqr + BN_mod_add + BN_mod_add_quick + BN_mod_sub + BN_mod_sub_quick + BN_mod_lshift1 + BN_mod_lshift1_quick + BN_mod_lshift + BN_mod_lshift_quick + + These functions always generate non-negative results. + + BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r + such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead). + + BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as + BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b] + be reduced modulo m. + [Lenka Fibikova , Bodo Moeller] + + +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there + was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul() + required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition + of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and + bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(), + bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with + differing sizes. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal + unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that + verification would just waste user's time since the resulting + hash is going to be compared with some given password hash) + or the new '-noverify' option is used. + + This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect + non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command + line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not + cause any problems. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16. + The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp(). + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable + (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load(). + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification. + Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a + few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly + casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later + time) [Richard Levitte] - *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces + +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with + the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the + shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should + be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Add the following functions: + + ENGINE_load_cswift() + ENGINE_load_chil() + ENGINE_load_atalla() + ENGINE_load_nuron() + ENGINE_load_builtin_engines() + + That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that + are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is + that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso + libraries unless it's really needed. + + Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand. + Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some + declarations (they differed!). + [Richard Levitte] + + +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server. + [Bodo Moeller] + + +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and + identity, and test if they are actually available. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix. + [Albert Chin-A-Young ] + + +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making + sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root. + [Damien Miller ] + + +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and + little-endian MIPS. + [Ralf Baechle ] + + +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of + keys (public as well as private) handled by engines. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator. + [Ben Laurie] + + +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was + previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch. + [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte] + + +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to + have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename + depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the + different shared library filenames on each system. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure. + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX + [Richard Levitte] + + +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling with debugging information.
