In most cases this will be SHA1 but some + algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The + return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and + 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify + ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should + use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest + type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New + EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant + signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link + between digests and public key types. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to + translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1, + rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery + needed to use the correct OID to be removed. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO + structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public + key ASN1 method. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and + pkeyutl. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support + public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional + command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be + generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in + pkey, genpkey. + [Steve Henson] + + *) BeOS support. + [Oliver Tappe ] + + *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the + manual pages. + [Oliver Tappe ] + + *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can + generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to + support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation + functionality for RSA. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented + functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to + EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public + key API, doesn't do much yet. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about + public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility: + "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for + ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt. + [Douglas Stebila] + + *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or + EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific + utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key + type. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New + functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(), + EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY + structure. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1. + De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private + key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate + algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant + algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing + of public and private key structures. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for + ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt. + [Douglas Stebila] + + *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members + for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the + SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure. + + New ciphersuites: + PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA, + PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA + + New functions: + SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint + SSL_get_psk_identity_hint + SSL_get_psk_identity + SSL_use_psk_identity_hint + + [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation] + + *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation + and response verification functionality. + [Zoltán Glózik , The OpenTSA Project] + + *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name + extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now + have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an + additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be + stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the + SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's + server_name extension. + + New functions (subject to change): + + SSL_get_servername() + SSL_get_servername_type() + SSL_set_SSL_CTX() + + New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change): + + SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB + - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback() + SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG + - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg() + SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname() + + openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option. + + openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...', + '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows + testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert' + and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName + negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by + default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal' + option. + + [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou] + + *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to + bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have + any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order + to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont + implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Disable rogue ciphersuites: + + - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5") + - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5") + - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5") + + The latter two were purportedly from + draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really + appear there. + + Other ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt + remain enabled for now, but are just as unofficial, and the ID + has long expired; these will probably disappear soon. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c + to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP + macro. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont, + dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced. + BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher + "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively + in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size. + Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of + using the maximum available value. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code + in addition to the text details. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general + ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't + handle several customised structures at all. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such + as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support + these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one + place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now + handled using new ASN1 code equivalents. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD + pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new, + SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously + unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of + all fields. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. + [Steve Henson] + + Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx] + + *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding + bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not + necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false + positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient + code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by + now or any which still have the bug do not support compression. + [Steve Henson] + + Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006] + + *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit + cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed. + [Austin Ziegler ] + + *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to + draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without + TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9 + branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch). + [Douglas Stebila] + + *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support + opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use + "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32 + to conform with the standards mentioned here: + http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt + Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include + --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location + of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library + can't be loaded. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code + sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't + handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a + non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries + under VC++ build system. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO. + Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more. + [Richard Levitte] + + Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005] + + *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING + (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the + countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version + rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad + idea. (CVE-2005-2969) + + [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center + for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial + Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)] + + *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at + runtime, thus removing the need for a lock. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman. + [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie] + + *) Add functions for well-known primes. + [Nick Mathewson] + + *) Extended Windows CE support. + [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov] + + *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during + runtime, thus removing the need for a lock. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by + attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to + smime utility. + [Steve Henson] + + Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005] + + *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private + key into the same file any more. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'. + [Stefan and Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify + PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and + use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code: + - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after + a fixed number of uses (currently 32) + - add new function for parameter creation + - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the + BN_BLINDING parameters + - hide BN_BLINDING structure + Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve + performance when a single RSA object is shared among several + threads. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Add support for DTLS. + [Nagendra Modadugu and Ben Laurie] + + *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1) + to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file() + [Walter Goulet] + + *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from + ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for + the apps/openssl applications. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes + -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently + DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default. + The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx". + + The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless + "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified. + + (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. 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.
