This is because IDEA + is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license + fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to + avoid this algorithm.) + + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was + sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and + EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe). + [Richard Levitte] + + *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such + as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative + section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as + a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the + pod file: + + =for comment openssl_section:XXX + + The blank line is mandatory. + + [Steve Henson] + + *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server + to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase + sources. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters, + update associated structures and add various utility functions. + + Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in + standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters + to support policy checking and print out. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3 + Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware + as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled). + [Michal Ludvig , with help from Andy Polyakov] + + *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally). + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented. + [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people] + + *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler + implementation contributed by IBM. + [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov] + + *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public + exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to + the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure. + [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now + moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial. + + (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial + number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid + the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7 + patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in + CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8, + we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.) + [Steve Henson] + + *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in + ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will + give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so + this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always, + developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to + ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but + backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality. + This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the + cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation + routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and + 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME + code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys. + Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not + valid (weak or incorrect parity). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well + as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain + CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs + present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the + syntax: + + shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4 + [Steve Henson] + + *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static + limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the + "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack + information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single + static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays + allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of + BN_CTX's "bundling". + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD + to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This + is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing + of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07. + [Steve Henson] + + *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and + remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum + tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see + below). + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with + associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results, + and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of + BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated; + if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same + initialised value as BN_new(). + [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller] + + *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension. + [Steve Henson] + + *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is + enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what + is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to + assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined, + further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM + structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will + (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent + forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should + consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with + these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in + their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At + some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve + maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only + in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details. + [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller] + + *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure + that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly + initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible + to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks). + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a + template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and + lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback + to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table + (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in + LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the + objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not + prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are + given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more). + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility + (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations + haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had + its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char + *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***" + aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used + internally to the implementation so I've used that for now. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when + OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of + the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so + these have been updated also. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality + into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest(). + New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7 + digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the + digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization + functions. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7 + structure of type "other". + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making + sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero") + modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime + table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be + re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero" + situation in the script. + [Ralf S. Engelschall] + + *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to + draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with + SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the + representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for + larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly + used as premaster secret. + [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] + + *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2 + curve secp160r1 to the tests. + [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
