5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
10 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
11 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
12 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
16 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
17 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
18 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
19 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
20 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
21 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
24 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
25 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
27 This work was sponsored by Google.
30 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
31 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
32 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
33 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
34 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
35 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
36 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
39 This work was sponsored by Google.
42 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
44 This work was sponsored by Google.
47 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
48 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
49 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
50 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
52 This work was sponsored by Google.
55 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
56 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
57 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
58 CRL functionality in future.
60 This work was sponsored by Google.
63 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
65 This work was sponsored by Google.
68 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
69 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
71 This work was sponsored by Google.
74 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
75 and URI types are currently supported.
77 This work was sponsored by Google.
80 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
81 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
82 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
83 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
84 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
85 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
86 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
87 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
89 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
90 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
91 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
93 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
94 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
95 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
96 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
98 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
99 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
100 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
101 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
102 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
103 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
104 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
105 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
107 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
109 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
110 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
111 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
113 This work was sponsored by Google.
116 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
119 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
120 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
121 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
124 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
125 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
128 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
129 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
132 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
133 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
134 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
135 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
136 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
137 content types and variants.
140 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
143 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
144 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
145 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
146 files from the associated perl scripts.
149 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
150 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
151 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
153 *) s390x assembler pack.
156 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
160 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
161 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
162 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
163 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
164 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
165 to use. For example, specify an option
167 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
169 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
170 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
171 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
172 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
173 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
174 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
176 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
177 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
178 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
179 return non-zero for success.
181 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
184 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
185 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
189 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
192 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
193 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
194 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
195 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
196 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
197 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
198 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
199 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
200 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
202 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
203 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
204 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
205 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
206 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
207 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
209 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
210 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
211 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
212 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
213 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
214 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
218 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
221 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
223 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
224 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
225 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
228 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
229 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
232 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
233 protection in servers so again support should be possible
234 with no application modification.
236 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
237 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
239 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
240 or server extensions to be examined.
242 This work was sponsored by Google.
245 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
246 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
247 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
249 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
250 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
252 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
254 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
255 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
256 to output in BER and PEM format.
259 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
260 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
261 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
262 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
263 -macopt options to dgst utility.
266 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
267 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
268 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
272 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
273 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
274 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
275 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
276 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
277 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
278 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
279 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
282 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
283 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
284 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
285 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
287 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
288 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
289 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
293 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
294 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
295 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
296 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
297 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
298 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
299 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
300 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
301 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
303 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
304 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
305 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
306 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
307 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
308 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
309 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
310 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
311 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
312 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
313 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
316 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
317 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
318 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
320 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
321 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
325 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
326 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
327 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
330 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
331 it yet and it is largely untested.
334 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
337 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
338 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
339 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
342 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
345 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
346 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
347 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
348 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
351 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
352 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
353 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
354 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
355 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
358 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
359 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
362 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
363 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
364 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
365 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
368 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
369 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
370 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
371 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
374 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
375 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
378 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
379 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
380 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
381 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
384 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
385 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
386 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
389 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
393 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
394 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
397 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
398 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
399 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
403 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
404 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
405 to free up any added signature OIDs.
408 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
409 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
410 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
411 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
414 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
415 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
416 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
417 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
418 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
419 the array representation useful in a more general context.
422 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
423 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
424 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
425 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
426 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
428 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
429 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
430 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
431 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
432 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
435 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
436 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
437 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
438 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
440 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
441 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
442 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
443 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
444 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
450 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
451 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
455 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
456 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
459 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
460 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
463 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
464 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
465 functional reference processing.
468 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
469 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
473 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
474 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
475 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
478 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
479 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
480 application to support multiple signers.
483 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
487 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
488 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
489 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
490 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
491 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
494 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
498 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
499 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
500 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
501 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
505 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
506 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
507 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
508 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
509 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
510 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
511 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
512 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
515 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
516 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
517 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
518 between digests and public key types.
521 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
522 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
523 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
524 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
527 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
528 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
532 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
535 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
539 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
540 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
541 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
542 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
547 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
549 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
551 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
553 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
554 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
555 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
556 functionality for RSA.
559 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
560 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
561 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
564 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
565 key API, doesn't do much yet.
568 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
569 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
570 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
573 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
574 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
577 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
578 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
581 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
582 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
586 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
587 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
588 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
592 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
593 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
594 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
595 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
596 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
597 of public and private key structures.
600 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
601 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
604 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
605 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
606 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
609 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
613 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
614 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
616 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
618 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
620 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
621 and response verification functionality.
622 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
624 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
625 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
626 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
627 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
628 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
629 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
630 server_name extension.
632 New functions (subject to change):
635 SSL_get_servername_type()
638 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
640 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
641 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
642 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
643 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
644 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
646 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
648 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
649 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
650 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
651 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
652 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
653 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
656 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
658 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
661 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
662 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
663 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
664 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
665 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
668 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
669 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
673 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
674 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
675 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
676 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
679 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
680 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
681 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
682 using the maximum available value.
685 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
686 in addition to the text details.
689 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
690 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
691 handle several customised structures at all.
694 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
695 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
696 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
699 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
702 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
703 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
704 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
707 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
708 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
709 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
712 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
713 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
717 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
720 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
723 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
725 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
726 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
728 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
729 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
730 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
731 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
732 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
735 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
737 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
738 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
741 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
742 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
743 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
744 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
746 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
747 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
749 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
751 *) Various precautionary measures:
753 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
755 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
756 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
757 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
759 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
760 outside the expected range.
762 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
765 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
767 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
768 the load fails. Useful for distros.
769 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
771 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
774 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
777 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
779 This work was sponsored by Logica.
782 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
783 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
784 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
786 This work was sponsored by Logica.
789 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
790 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
791 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
795 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
797 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
798 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
799 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
800 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
802 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
803 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
806 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
808 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
809 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
810 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
812 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
814 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
815 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
816 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
817 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
820 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
821 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
822 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
823 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
824 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
825 invalid read after the end of 'db').
826 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
828 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
830 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
831 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
832 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
833 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
834 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
836 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
837 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
839 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
840 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
841 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
842 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
843 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
845 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
847 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
848 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
849 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
850 sets may exist with different names.
853 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
854 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
855 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
856 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
857 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
858 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
859 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
860 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
861 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
863 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
865 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
866 implemention in the following ways:
868 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
871 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
872 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
873 ignored for embedded content.
875 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
876 with the enable-cms configuration option.
879 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
880 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
881 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
882 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
884 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
885 uncompresses any data passed through it.
888 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
889 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
892 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
893 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
894 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
895 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
896 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
897 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
901 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
902 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
903 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
907 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
908 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
909 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
910 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
911 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
912 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
913 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
914 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
916 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
917 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
918 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
919 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
920 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
921 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
922 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
924 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
925 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
926 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
927 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
928 to s_client and s_server.
931 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
934 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
935 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
936 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
937 + Fix ia64 assembler code
938 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
940 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
942 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
943 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
944 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
945 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
946 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
947 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
948 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
949 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
952 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
953 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
954 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
957 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
958 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
959 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
962 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
963 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
966 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
967 protection in servers so again support should be possible
968 with no application modification.
970 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
971 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
973 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
974 or server extensions to be examined.
976 This work was sponsored by Google.
979 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
980 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
981 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
982 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
983 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
984 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
985 server_name extension.
987 New functions (subject to change):
990 SSL_get_servername_type()
993 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
995 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
996 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
997 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
998 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
999 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1001 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1003 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1004 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1005 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1006 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1007 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1008 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1011 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1013 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1016 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1019 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1020 (which previously caused an internal error).
1023 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1026 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1027 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1029 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1030 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1031 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1033 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1034 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1035 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1036 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1038 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1039 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1040 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1041 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1043 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1044 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1045 information. For detailed background information, see
1046 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1047 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1048 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1049 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1050 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1051 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1052 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1053 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1054 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1055 remove a conditional branch.
1057 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1058 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1059 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1060 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1061 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1062 remains as a deprecated alias.
1064 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1065 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1066 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1067 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1069 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1070 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1071 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1072 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1073 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1074 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1075 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1076 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1078 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1080 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1081 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1082 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1083 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1084 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1085 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1086 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1087 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1088 in a different context.
1091 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1092 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1093 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1096 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1097 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1098 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1100 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1102 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1103 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1104 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1105 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1106 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1109 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1110 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1111 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1112 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1113 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1114 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1117 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1118 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1119 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1120 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1121 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1124 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1125 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1127 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1128 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1129 Improve header file function name parsing.
1132 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1133 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1136 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1138 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1139 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1140 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1142 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1143 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1145 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1146 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1148 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1149 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1150 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1152 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1153 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1154 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1155 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1156 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1157 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1158 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1159 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1160 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1162 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1163 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1164 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1165 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1166 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1168 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1169 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1170 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1171 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1172 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1173 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1174 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1175 multiple values to extend the available space.
1179 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1181 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1182 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1184 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1187 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1188 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1189 undesirable limitations.
1190 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1192 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1193 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1194 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1195 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1196 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1197 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1198 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1201 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1203 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1204 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1205 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1207 The latter two were purportedly from
1208 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1211 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1212 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1213 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1216 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1217 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1220 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1221 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1222 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1223 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1225 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1226 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1227 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1230 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1231 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1232 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1233 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1234 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1235 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1238 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1240 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1241 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1244 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1245 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1247 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1248 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1249 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1250 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1253 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1254 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1257 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1258 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1259 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1260 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1261 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1262 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1263 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1267 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1268 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1269 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1270 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1273 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1274 under VC++ build system.
1277 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1278 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1281 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1283 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1284 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1285 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1286 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1287 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1289 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1290 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1291 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1293 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1296 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1297 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1300 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1301 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1303 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1306 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1307 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1309 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1310 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1313 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1314 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1318 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1320 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1323 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1326 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1327 key into the same file any more.
1330 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1333 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1334 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1336 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1337 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1340 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1341 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1342 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1343 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1344 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1345 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1347 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1348 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1349 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1352 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1353 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1354 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1355 - add new function for parameter creation
1356 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1357 BN_BLINDING parameters
1358 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1359 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1360 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1364 *) Add support for DTLS.
1365 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1367 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1368 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1371 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1372 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1375 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1376 the apps/openssl applications.
1379 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1380 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1381 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1384 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1385 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1387 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1388 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1390 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1391 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1392 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1393 avoid this algorithm.)
1397 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1398 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1399 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1402 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1403 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1406 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1407 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1408 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1411 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1413 The blank line is mandatory.
1417 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1418 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1422 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1423 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1425 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1426 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1427 to support policy checking and print out.
1430 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1431 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1432 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1433 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1435 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1438 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1439 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1441 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1442 implementation contributed by IBM.
1443 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1445 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1446 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1447 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1448 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1450 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1451 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1453 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1454 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1455 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1456 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1457 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1458 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1461 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1462 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1463 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1464 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1465 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1466 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1467 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1470 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1473 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1474 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1475 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1476 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1477 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1478 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1479 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1480 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1483 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1484 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1485 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1486 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1489 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1492 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1495 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1496 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1497 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1498 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1499 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1500 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1501 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1504 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1505 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1508 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1509 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1510 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1513 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1514 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1515 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1519 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1520 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1523 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1524 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1525 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1526 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1529 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1530 initialised value as BN_new().
1531 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1533 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1536 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1537 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1538 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1539 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1540 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1541 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1542 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1543 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1544 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1545 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1546 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1547 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1548 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1549 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1550 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1552 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1553 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1554 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1555 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1558 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1559 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1560 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1561 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1562 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1563 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1564 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1565 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1566 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1569 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1570 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1571 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1572 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1573 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1574 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1575 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1578 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1579 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1580 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1581 these have been updated also.
1584 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1585 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1586 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1587 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1588 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1592 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1593 structure of type "other".
1596 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1597 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1598 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1599 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1600 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1601 situation in the script.
1602 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1604 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1605 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1606 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1607 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1608 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1609 used as premaster secret.
1610 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1612 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1613 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1614 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1616 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1617 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1619 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1620 control of the error stack.
1623 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1626 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1627 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1628 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1629 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1632 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1633 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1634 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1637 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1638 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1639 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1643 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1644 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1645 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1646 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1649 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1650 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1651 the following flags are defined:
1653 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1654 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1655 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1658 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1659 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1660 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1661 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1665 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1666 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1667 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1668 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1669 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1672 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1673 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1674 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1677 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1678 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1679 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1680 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1681 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1682 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1685 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1689 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1692 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1695 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1698 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1699 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1700 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1701 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1702 default implementation more easily.
1705 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1709 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1710 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1713 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1714 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1715 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1716 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1718 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1719 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1720 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1721 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1724 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1725 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1729 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1730 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1731 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1732 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1733 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1734 scalar * generator).
1735 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1737 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1738 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1739 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1743 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1744 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1745 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1746 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1747 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1748 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1749 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1750 linker additions, eg;
1751 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1754 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1755 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1756 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1759 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1760 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1761 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1765 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1766 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1767 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1768 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1771 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1772 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1773 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1774 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1775 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1776 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1777 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1778 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1779 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1780 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1782 Example for using the new callback interface:
1784 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1788 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1790 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1791 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1792 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1793 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1794 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1795 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1800 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1801 available to TLS with the number defined in
1802 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1805 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1806 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1808 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1809 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1810 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1811 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1813 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1814 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1816 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1817 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1821 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1822 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1825 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1826 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1827 and a macro that behave like
1828 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1830 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1833 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1834 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1835 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1837 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1839 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1842 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1843 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1844 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1845 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1847 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1848 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1849 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1850 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1851 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1852 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1853 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1854 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1856 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1857 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1860 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1861 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1863 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1864 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1865 files while avoiding the low level API.
1867 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1868 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1869 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1870 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1872 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1873 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1874 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1875 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1876 instead of the low level API.
1879 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1880 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1881 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1882 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1883 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1886 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1887 down to the template encoder.
1890 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1891 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1894 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1895 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1896 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1897 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1899 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1900 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1902 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1903 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1905 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1906 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1909 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1910 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1911 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1914 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1915 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1917 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1918 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1920 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1921 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1924 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1928 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1929 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1930 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1931 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1932 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1933 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1935 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1936 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1939 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1940 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1941 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1942 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1943 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1944 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1945 various internal method names.)
1947 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1948 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1950 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1951 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1953 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1954 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1956 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1957 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1958 methods are undefined.
1960 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1961 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1963 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1964 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1965 length of the modulus.
1967 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1968 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1970 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1971 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1973 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1974 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1976 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1977 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1978 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1981 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1982 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1983 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1984 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1986 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1987 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1988 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1989 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1991 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1992 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1994 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1995 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1996 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1997 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1998 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2000 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2001 This applies to the following functions:
2006 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2007 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2009 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2010 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2014 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2019 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2021 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2022 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2023 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2024 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2025 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2027 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2028 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2030 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2031 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2032 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2034 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2035 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2037 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2038 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2039 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2040 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2041 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2043 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2045 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2046 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2047 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2048 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2049 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2050 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2051 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2052 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2053 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2054 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2055 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2056 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2058 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2061 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2062 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2063 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2064 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2066 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2067 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2068 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2069 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2074 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2075 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2076 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2077 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2078 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2080 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2081 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2082 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2083 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2084 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2085 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2086 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2087 adding different types of curves.
2088 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2090 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2091 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2092 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2095 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2096 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2098 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2099 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2100 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2101 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2103 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2105 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2106 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2108 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2109 library. Most notably,
2110 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2111 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2112 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2113 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2114 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2115 extracted before the specific public key;
2116 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2117 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2119 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2120 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2122 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2123 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2124 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2125 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2127 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2128 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2129 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2131 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2132 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2133 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2134 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2135 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2136 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2140 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2142 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2143 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2144 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2145 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2146 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2147 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2148 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2149 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2150 in a different context.
2153 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2155 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2157 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2159 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2160 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2161 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2164 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2165 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2166 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2169 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2172 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2173 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2176 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2177 run algorithm test programs.
2180 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2183 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2184 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2185 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2186 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2187 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2190 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2191 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2194 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2196 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2197 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2198 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2200 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2201 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2203 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2204 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2206 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2207 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2208 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2210 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2211 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2212 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2213 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2214 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2215 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2216 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2219 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2221 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2222 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2224 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2225 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2226 undesirable limitations.
2227 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2229 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2231 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2232 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2233 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2235 The latter two were purportedly from
2236 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2239 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2240 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2241 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2244 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2245 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2248 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2250 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2251 module in FIPS mode.
2254 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2257 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2258 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2259 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2260 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2263 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2265 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2266 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2267 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2268 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2269 the difference induced by this change.
2272 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2274 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2275 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2276 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2277 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2278 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2281 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2282 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2284 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2285 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2288 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2289 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2290 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2291 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2295 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2296 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2297 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2298 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2299 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2301 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2302 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2303 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2304 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2305 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2306 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2308 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2310 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2311 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2312 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2313 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2314 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2317 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2321 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2322 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2323 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2326 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2327 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2328 structures constant.
2331 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2333 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2336 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2337 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2338 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2339 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2340 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2341 some needed definitions.
2344 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2347 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2348 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2349 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2350 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2353 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2355 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2356 server and client random values. Previously
2357 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2358 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2360 This change has negligible security impact because:
2362 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2365 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2368 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2369 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2372 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2375 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2377 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2380 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2381 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2382 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2384 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2387 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2388 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2391 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2392 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2393 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2395 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2398 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2399 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2400 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2404 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2405 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2406 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2407 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2409 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2410 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2411 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2412 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2416 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2418 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2419 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2420 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2421 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2422 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2425 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2428 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2429 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2431 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2432 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2433 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2434 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2435 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2436 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2437 rather than being initialized to 1.
2440 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2442 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2443 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2444 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2446 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2448 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2450 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2451 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2452 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2453 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2454 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2455 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2458 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2459 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2460 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2461 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2462 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2466 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2467 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2468 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2469 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2470 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2473 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2474 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2475 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2479 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2480 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2482 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2485 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2487 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2489 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2490 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2492 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2494 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2495 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2499 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2500 exiting on the first error in a request.
2503 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2504 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2508 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2509 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2510 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2511 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2513 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2514 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2517 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2518 blocks during encryption.
2521 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2522 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2523 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2524 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2528 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2529 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2530 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2531 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2532 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2536 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2538 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2539 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2540 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2541 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2544 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2545 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2546 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2547 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2548 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2550 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2551 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2552 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2553 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2554 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2555 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2556 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2557 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2558 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2561 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2562 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2563 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2564 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2567 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2568 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2571 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2573 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2574 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2575 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2576 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2577 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2579 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2580 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2581 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2583 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2584 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2585 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2586 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2587 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2589 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2590 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2591 used by default when no-err is given.
2594 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2595 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2597 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2598 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2599 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2600 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2601 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2603 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2604 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2605 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2606 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2608 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2610 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2612 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2614 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2615 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2616 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2617 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2621 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2622 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2624 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2625 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2628 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2629 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2630 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2631 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2634 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2635 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2636 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2637 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2638 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2639 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2640 followup to PR #377.
2643 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2644 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2647 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2648 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2649 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2650 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2652 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2654 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2657 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2658 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2659 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2660 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2662 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2666 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2667 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2671 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2672 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2673 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2674 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2675 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2676 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2678 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2679 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2680 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2681 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2682 have to be made anyway).
2685 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2686 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2687 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2690 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2691 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2692 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2695 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2696 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2697 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2699 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2700 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2701 edit numbers of the version.
2702 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2704 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2705 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2706 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2708 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2709 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2711 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2712 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2713 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2715 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2716 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2718 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2721 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2724 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2725 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2727 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2729 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2731 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2732 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2733 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2735 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2736 representations in a platform independent manner.
2737 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2739 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2740 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2741 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2743 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2747 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2750 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2752 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2754 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2755 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2756 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2758 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2760 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2762 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2763 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2765 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2766 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2768 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2771 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2774 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2776 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2778 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2779 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2781 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2782 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2784 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2785 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2787 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2789 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2790 the 0.9.6 release series:
2792 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2793 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2795 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2797 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2800 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2801 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2803 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2804 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2806 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2807 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2808 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2809 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2811 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2812 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2813 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2815 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2816 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2817 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2818 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2820 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2821 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2822 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2825 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2826 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2827 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2828 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2829 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2830 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2831 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2832 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2835 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2836 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2837 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2840 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2841 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2842 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2843 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2844 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2846 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2847 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2849 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2850 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2853 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2854 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2855 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2856 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2857 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2858 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2861 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2862 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2863 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2866 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2867 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2870 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2871 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2872 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2873 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2874 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2875 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2876 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2879 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2880 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2881 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2882 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2883 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2884 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2887 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2888 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2889 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2890 declaration has been changed from
2893 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2894 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2895 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2896 has been changed into
2897 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2899 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2900 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2901 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2903 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2904 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2906 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2907 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2908 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2909 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2910 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2911 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2912 always load it have also been added.
2915 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2916 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2917 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2919 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2921 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2922 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2923 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2925 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2926 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2927 command line option can be used to specify an
2931 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2932 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2935 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2936 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2937 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2940 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2941 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2942 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2943 to work with the new engine framework.
2944 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2946 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2947 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2948 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2949 to work with the new engine framework.
2952 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2953 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2954 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2956 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

2960 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2961 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2962 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2964 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2966 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2967 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2969 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2970 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2972 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2973 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2974 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2977 *) Add new functions
2979 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2980 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2981 These are similar to
2984 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2985 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2986 still in the error queue.
2987 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2989 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2991 default_algorithms = ALL
2992 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2995 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2998 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3001 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3002 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3003 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3004 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3006 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3007 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3009 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3010 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3012 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3013 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3016 *) New functions/macros
3018 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3019 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3020 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3021 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3023 to request calling a callback function
3025 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3026 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3028 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3029 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3030 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3031 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3032 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3033 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3034 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3035 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3036 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3037 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3039 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3040 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3043 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3044 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3045 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3046 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3047 the configuration scripts.
3049 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3050 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3051 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3053 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3054 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3056 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3057 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3058 when reusing an existing buffer.
3061 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3062 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3065 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3066 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3069 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3070 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3071 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3072 has the same effect.
3073 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3075 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3076 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3077 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3078 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3079 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3080 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3083 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3084 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3085 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3086 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3088 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3089 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3090 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3091 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3093 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3094 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3097 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3098 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3099 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3100 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3101 default), and then completely removed.
3104 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3105 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3106 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3107 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3108 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3109 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3110 particular extension is supported.
3113 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3114 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3117 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3118 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3119 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3120 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3121 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3122 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3123 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3124 requires the destination to be valid.
3126 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3127 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3130 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3131 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3132 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3135 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3136 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3138 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3139 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3140 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3141 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3142 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3143 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3144 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3145 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3146 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3147 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3148 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3149 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3150 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3151 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3152 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3153 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3154 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3155 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3156 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3160 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3163 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3164 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3165 become part of libeay.num as well.
3168 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3169 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3170 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3171 false once a handshake has been completed.
3172 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3173 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3174 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3175 client has followed the request.)
3178 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3179 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3180 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3181 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3183 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3184 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3185 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3188 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3191 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3192 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3193 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3196 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3197 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3200 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3201 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3202 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3203 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3206 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3207 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3208 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3209 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3210 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3211 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3214 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3215 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3216 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3217 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3218 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3219 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3220 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3221 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3224 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3225 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3228 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3231 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3232 md_data void pointer.
3235 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3236 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3237 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3238 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3239 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3240 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3243 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3244 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3245 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3246 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3247 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3248 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3249 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3250 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3251 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3252 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3253 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3254 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3255 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3256 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3257 rather than letting it slide.
3259 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3260 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3261 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3264 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3265 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3266 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3267 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3268 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3269 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3270 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3271 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3272 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3275 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3276 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3277 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3278 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3279 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3281 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3284 *) Add EVP test program.
3287 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3290 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3291 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3292 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3293 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3294 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3297 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3298 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3299 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3300 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3301 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3302 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3303 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3305 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3306 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3307 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3312 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3313 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3314 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3315 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3316 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3320 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3321 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3322 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3323 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3326 des_key_schedule ks;
3328 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3329 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3331 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3334 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3335 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3336 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3337 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3338 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3339 functions prevents this.
3342 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3345 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3346 correct _ecb suffix.
3349 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3350 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3351 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3352 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3353 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3356 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3359 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3360 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3361 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3362 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3364 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3365 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3367 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3368 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3369 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3370 via Richard Levitte]
3372 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3373 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3374 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3375 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3378 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3381 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3396 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3397 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3399 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3400 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3401 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3402 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3403 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3404 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3407 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3408 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3411 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3412 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3413 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3414 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3416 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3417 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3418 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3419 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3420 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3421 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3425 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3426 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3427 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3428 and interrupts/cancellations.
3431 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3432 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3435 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3436 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3437 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3439 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3440 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3444 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3445 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3446 than this minimum value is recommended.
3449 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3450 that are easily reachable.
3453 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3454 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3456 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3458 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3459 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3460 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3461 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3464 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3465 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3466 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3469 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3470 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3471 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3472 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3473 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3474 internally such as S/MIME.
3476 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3477 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3478 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3480 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3484 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3485 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3486 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3487 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3489 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3491 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3493 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3494 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3495 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3499 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3500 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3501 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3502 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3503 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3504 a window system and the like.
3507 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3508 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3511 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3512 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3513 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3514 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3515 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3516 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3517 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3518 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3519 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3523 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3524 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3528 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3529 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3530 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3531 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3532 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3533 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3534 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3535 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3538 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3539 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3540 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3541 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3542 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3543 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3544 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3545 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3546 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3547 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3548 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3549 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3550 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3551 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3552 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3553 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3554 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3557 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3558 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3559 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3560 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3561 internal engine_int.h header.
3564 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3565 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3566 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3567 modify their own ones).
3570 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3571 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3572 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3573 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3574 later on via ctrl() commands.
3575 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3576 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3577 structural references.
3578 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3579 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3580 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3581 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3582 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3583 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3584 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3585 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3586 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3587 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3588 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3589 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3592 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3593 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3594 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3595 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3596 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3597 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3598 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3599 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3602 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3603 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3606 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3607 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3610 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3611 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3612 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3613 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3614 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3615 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3616 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3619 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3620 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3621 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3622 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3623 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3625 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3626 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3630 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3632 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3633 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3634 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3636 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3637 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3639 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3640 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3641 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3643 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3644 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3646 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3647 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3649 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3651 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3652 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3653 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3656 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3657 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3660 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3661 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3662 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3663 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3664 is 40 of more characters long.
3667 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3668 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3672 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3673 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3676 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3677 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3681 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3683 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3684 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3687 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3689 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3690 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3691 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3693 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3694 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3696 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3699 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3703 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3704 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3705 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3706 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3708 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3710 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3711 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3713 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3714 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3715 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3716 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3717 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3718 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3720 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3721 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3723 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3724 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3726 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3727 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3729 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3730 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3731 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3732 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3734 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3735 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3737 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3738 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3740 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3741 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3742 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3743 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3744 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3747 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3748 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3749 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3750 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3753 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3754 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3755 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3759 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3760 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3761 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3762 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3763 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3764 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3765 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3766 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3770 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3771 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3774 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3775 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3776 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3777 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3780 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3781 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3782 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3783 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3784 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3785 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3786 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3787 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3788 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3789 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3792 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3793 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3794 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3795 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3796 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3797 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3798 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3799 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3801 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3802 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3803 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3804 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3807 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3808 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3809 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3810 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3812 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3813 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3814 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3815 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3816 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3820 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3821 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3822 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3823 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3827 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3828 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3829 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3832 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3833 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3834 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3835 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3836 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3839 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3842 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3843 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3844 option to ocsp utility.
3847 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3848 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3849 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3850 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3851 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3852 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3853 the request is nonce-less.
3856 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3857 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3858 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3861 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3862 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3863 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3866 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3867 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3868 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3869 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3870 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3873 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3874 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3878 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3879 additional certificates supplied.
3882 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3883 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3887 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3888 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3891 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3892 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3893 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3894 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3895 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3896 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3897 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3898 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3899 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3901 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3902 request to response.
3905 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3906 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3907 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3908 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3909 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3910 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3911 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3912 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3913 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3914 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3915 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3918 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3919 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3920 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3921 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3924 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3925 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3927 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3928 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3929 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3932 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3933 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3934 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3935 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3936 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3938 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3939 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3940 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3943 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3944 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3945 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3946 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3947 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3948 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3949 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3950 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3952 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3953 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3954 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3955 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3956 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3957 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3960 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3961 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3962 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3963 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3964 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3965 printout format cleaned up.
3968 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3969 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3970 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3971 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3972 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3973 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3974 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3975 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3978 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3979 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3980 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3981 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3982 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3983 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3984 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3985 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3988 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3989 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3990 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3991 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3993 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3995 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3996 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3997 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3998 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4001 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4002 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4003 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4004 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4006 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4008 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4009 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4010 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4011 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4013 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4014 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4016 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4017 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4018 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4021 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4022 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4023 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4026 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4027 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4028 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4029 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4030 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4031 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4032 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4033 functions are provided:
4035 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4036 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4037 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4038 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4040 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4041 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4042 extended allocation function is enabled.
4043 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4044 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4045 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4047 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4048 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4049 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4050 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4051 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4054 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4055 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4056 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4058 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4059 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4060 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4063 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4064 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4065 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4066 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4067 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4068 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4069 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4070 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4071 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4074 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4075 provide utility functions which an application needing
4076 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4077 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4078 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4080 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4081 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4082 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4083 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4084 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4085 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4086 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4087 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4088 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4090 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4091 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4092 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4093 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4096 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4097 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4098 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4099 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4100 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4101 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4102 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4103 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4104 will be added elsewhere.
4107 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4108 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4109 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4110 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4113 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4114 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4115 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4116 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4117 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4118 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4119 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4120 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4121 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4122 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4123 to produce the required SET OF.
4126 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4127 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4128 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4131 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4132 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4133 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4134 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4135 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4136 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4139 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4140 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4141 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4144 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4145 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4146 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4149 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4150 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4151 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4152 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4153 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4156 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4157 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4160 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4161 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4162 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4163 certifcates and CRLs.
4166 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4167 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4168 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4171 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4172 entries for variables.
4175 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4176 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4177 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4178 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4181 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4182 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4183 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4184 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4185 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4186 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4189 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4190 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4192 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4193 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4194 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4197 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4201 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4202 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4203 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4204 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4205 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4206 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4209 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4212 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4213 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4214 for now but they will eventually go away.
4217 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4218 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4219 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4220 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4221 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4222 has also been converted to the new form.
4225 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4226 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
