Currently just tests - the untrusted certificates for consistency with the verify purpose - (which is set when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks - the pathlength. There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep - the old behaviour: this is because when it is finally working it will - reject chains with invalid extensions whereas before it made no checks - at all. + *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the + ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there + was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature + algorithm. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER, + ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines. + [Frans Heymans , modified by Steve Henson] + + *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple + S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough + functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility + called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I + originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be + included in OpenSSL. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of + des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key + decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way + des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and + the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1, + have a cleaner way to pick the version they need. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a + PKCS12 structure. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and + dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the + table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add() + functions so they accept a list of the field values and the + application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST + structure. + [Steve Henson] - Still needs some trust checking code. + *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't + need initialising. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now + works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard" + extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch() + and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file + crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be + updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept + in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks + this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily + be maintained manually. + + There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions + can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using + X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing. + [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't + work because people forget to call this function] + Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added: + so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call + X509V3_EXT_cleanup(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a + magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting + to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people + should be discouraged from doing it. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message + digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this + parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant + operations are affected by the digest parameter including the + -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a + DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted + certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set + when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength. + + There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour: + this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas + every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all. + + Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust + settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g. + if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be + trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to + permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust + certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs. Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions which should be used for version portability: especially since the verify structure is likely to change more often now. + SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions + to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers + and vice versa. + Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
