5 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
8 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
9 to output in BER and PEM format.
12 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
13 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
14 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
15 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
16 -macopt options to dgst utility.
19 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
20 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
21 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
25 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
26 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
27 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
28 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
29 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
30 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
31 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
32 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
35 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
36 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
37 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
38 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
40 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
41 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
42 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
46 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
47 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
48 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
49 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
50 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
51 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
52 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
53 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
54 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
56 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
57 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
58 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
59 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
60 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
61 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
62 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
63 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
64 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
65 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
66 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
69 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
70 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
71 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
73 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
74 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
78 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
79 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
80 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
83 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
84 it yet and it is largely untested.
87 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
90 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
91 when OPENSSL_NO_FCAST is set: some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject
92 their use. Safestack is reimplemented using inline functions: tests show
93 that these calls are typically optimized away by compilers so they have
94 no additional overhead. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
97 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
100 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
101 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
102 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
103 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
106 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
107 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
108 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
109 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
110 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
113 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
114 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
117 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
118 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
119 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
120 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
123 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
124 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
125 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
126 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
129 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
130 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
133 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
134 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
135 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
136 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
139 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
140 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
141 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
144 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
148 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
149 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
152 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
153 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
154 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
158 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
159 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
160 to free up any added signature OIDs.
163 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
164 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
165 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
166 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
169 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
170 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
171 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
172 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
173 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
174 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
175 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
176 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
178 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
179 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
180 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
182 we now have additional functions
184 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
185 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
186 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
188 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
189 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
193 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
194 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
195 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
196 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
197 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
198 the array representation useful in a more general context.
201 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
202 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
203 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
204 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
205 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
207 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
208 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
209 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
210 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
211 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
214 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
215 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
216 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
217 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
219 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
220 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
221 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
222 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
223 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
229 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
230 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
234 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
235 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
238 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
239 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
242 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
243 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
244 functional reference processing.
247 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
248 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
252 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
253 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
254 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
257 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
258 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
259 application to support multiple signers.
262 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
266 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
267 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
268 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
269 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
270 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
273 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
277 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
278 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
279 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
280 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
284 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
285 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
286 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
287 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
288 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
289 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
290 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
291 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
294 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
295 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
296 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
297 between digests and public key types.
300 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
301 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
302 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
303 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
306 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
307 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
311 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
314 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
318 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
319 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
320 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
321 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
326 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
328 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
330 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
332 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
333 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
334 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
335 functionality for RSA.
338 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
339 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
340 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
343 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
344 key API, doesn't do much yet.
347 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
348 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
349 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
352 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
353 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
356 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
357 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
360 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
361 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
365 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
366 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
367 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
371 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
372 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
373 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
374 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
375 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
376 of public and private key structures.
379 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
380 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
383 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
384 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
385 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
388 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
392 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
393 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
395 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
397 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
399 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
400 and response verification functionality.
401 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
403 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
404 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
405 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
406 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
407 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
408 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
409 server_name extension.
411 New functions (subject to change):
414 SSL_get_servername_type()
417 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
419 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
420 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
421 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
422 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
423 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
425 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
427 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
428 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
429 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
430 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
431 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
432 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
435 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
437 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
440 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
441 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
442 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
443 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
444 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
447 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
448 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
452 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
453 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
454 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
455 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
458 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
459 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
460 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
461 using the maximum available value.
464 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
465 in addition to the text details.
468 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
469 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
470 handle several customised structures at all.
473 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
474 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
475 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
478 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
481 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
482 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
483 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
486 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
487 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
488 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
491 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
492 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
496 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
499 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
502 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
504 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
505 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
506 information. For detailed background information, see
507 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
508 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
509 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
510 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
511 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
512 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
513 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
514 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
515 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
516 remove a conditional branch.
518 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
519 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
520 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
521 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
522 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
523 remains as a deprecated alias.
525 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
526 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
527 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
528 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
530 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
531 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
532 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
533 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
534 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
535 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
536 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
537 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
539 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
541 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
542 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
543 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
544 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
545 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
546 with applications using a single external cache for quite
547 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
548 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
549 in a different context.
552 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
553 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
554 authentication-only ciphersuites.
557 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
559 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
560 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
561 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
562 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
563 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
566 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
567 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
568 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
569 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
570 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
571 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
574 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
575 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
576 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
577 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
578 message has informed the client about his choice.)
581 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
582 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
584 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
585 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
586 Improve header file function name parsing.
589 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
590 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
593 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
595 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
596 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
597 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
599 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
600 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
602 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
603 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
605 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
606 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
607 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
609 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
610 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
611 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
612 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
613 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
614 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
615 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
616 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
617 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
619 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
620 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
621 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
622 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
623 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
625 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
626 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
627 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
628 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
629 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
630 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
631 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
632 multiple values to extend the available space.
636 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
638 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
639 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
641 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
644 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
645 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
646 undesirable limitations.
647 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
649 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
650 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
651 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
652 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
653 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
654 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
655 to avoid potential handshake problems.
658 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
660 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
661 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
662 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
664 The latter two were purportedly from
665 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
668 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
669 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
670 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
673 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
674 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
677 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
678 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
679 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
680 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
682 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
683 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
684 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
687 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
688 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
689 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
690 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
691 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
692 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
695 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
697 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
698 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
701 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
702 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
704 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
705 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
706 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
707 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
710 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
711 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
714 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
715 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
716 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
717 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
718 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
719 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
720 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
724 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
725 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
726 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
727 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
730 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
731 under VC++ build system.
734 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
735 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
738 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
740 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
741 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
742 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
743 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
744 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
746 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
747 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
748 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
750 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
753 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
754 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
757 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
758 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
760 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
763 *) Extended Windows CE support.
764 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
766 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
767 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
770 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
771 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
775 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
777 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
780 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
783 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
784 key into the same file any more.
787 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
790 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
791 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
793 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
794 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
797 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
798 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
799 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
800 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
801 this only applies when building 'shared'.
802 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
804 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
805 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
806 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
809 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
810 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
811 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
812 - add new function for parameter creation
813 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
814 BN_BLINDING parameters
815 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
816 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
817 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
821 *) Add support for DTLS.
822 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
824 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
825 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
828 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
829 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
832 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
833 the apps/openssl applications.
836 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
837 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
838 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
841 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
842 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
844 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
845 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
847 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
848 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
849 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
850 avoid this algorithm.)
854 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
855 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
856 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
859 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
860 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
863 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
864 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
865 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
868 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
870 The blank line is mandatory.
874 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
875 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
879 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
880 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
882 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
883 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
884 to support policy checking and print out.
887 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
888 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
889 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
890 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
892 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
895 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
896 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
898 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
899 implementation contributed by IBM.
900 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
902 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
903 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
904 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
905 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
907 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
908 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
910 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
911 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
912 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
913 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
914 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
915 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
918 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
919 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
920 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
921 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
922 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
923 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
924 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
927 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
930 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
931 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
932 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
933 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
934 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
935 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
936 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
937 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
940 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
941 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
942 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
943 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
946 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
949 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
952 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
953 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
954 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
955 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
956 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
957 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
961 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
962 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
965 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
966 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
967 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
970 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
971 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
972 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
976 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
977 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
980 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
981 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
982 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
983 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
986 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
987 initialised value as BN_new().
988 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
990 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
993 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
994 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
995 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
996 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
997 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
998 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
999 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1000 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1001 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1002 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1003 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1004 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1005 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1006 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1007 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1009 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1010 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1011 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1012 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1015 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1016 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1017 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1018 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1019 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1020 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1021 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1022 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1023 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1026 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1027 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1028 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1029 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1030 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1031 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1032 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1035 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1036 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1037 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1038 these have been updated also.
1041 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1042 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1043 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1044 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1045 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1049 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1050 structure of type "other".
1053 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1054 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1055 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1056 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1057 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1058 situation in the script.
1059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1061 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1062 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1063 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1064 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1065 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1066 used as premaster secret.
1067 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1069 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1070 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1071 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1073 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1074 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1076 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1077 control of the error stack.
1080 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1083 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1084 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1085 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1086 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1089 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1090 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1091 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1094 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1095 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1096 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1100 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1101 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1102 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1103 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1106 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1107 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1108 the following flags are defined:
1110 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1111 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1112 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1115 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1116 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1117 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1118 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1122 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1123 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1124 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1125 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1126 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1129 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1130 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1131 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1134 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1135 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1136 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1137 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1138 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1139 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1142 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1146 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1149 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1152 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1155 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1156 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1157 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1158 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1159 default implementation more easily.
1162 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1166 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1167 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1170 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1171 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1172 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1173 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1175 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1176 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1177 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1178 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1181 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1182 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1186 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1187 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1188 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1189 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1190 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1191 scalar * generator).
1192 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1194 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1195 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1196 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1200 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1201 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1202 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1203 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1204 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1205 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1206 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1207 linker additions, eg;
1208 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1211 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1212 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1213 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1216 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1217 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1218 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1222 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1223 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1224 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1225 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1228 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1229 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1230 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1231 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1232 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1233 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1234 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1235 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1236 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1237 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1239 Example for using the new callback interface:
1241 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1245 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1247 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1248 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1249 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1250 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1251 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1252 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1257 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1258 available to TLS with the number defined in
1259 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1262 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1263 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1265 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1266 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1267 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1268 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1270 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1271 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1273 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1274 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1278 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1279 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1282 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1283 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1284 and a macro that behave like
1285 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1287 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1290 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1291 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1292 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1294 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1296 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1299 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1300 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1301 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1302 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1304 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1305 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1306 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1307 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1308 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1309 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1310 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1311 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1313 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1314 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1317 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1318 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1320 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1321 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1322 files while avoiding the low level API.
1324 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1325 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1326 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1327 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1329 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1330 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1331 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1332 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1333 instead of the low level API.
1336 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1337 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1338 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1339 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1340 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1343 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1344 down to the template encoder.
1347 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1348 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1351 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1352 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1353 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1354 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1356 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1357 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1359 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1360 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1362 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1363 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1366 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1367 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1368 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1371 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1372 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1374 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1375 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1377 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1378 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1381 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1385 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1386 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1387 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1388 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1389 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1390 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1392 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1393 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1396 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1397 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1398 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1399 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1400 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1401 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1402 various internal method names.)
1404 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1405 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1407 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1408 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1410 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1411 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1413 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1414 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1415 methods are undefined.
1417 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1418 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1420 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1421 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1422 length of the modulus.
1424 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1425 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1427 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1428 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1430 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1431 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1433 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1434 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1435 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1438 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1439 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1440 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1441 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1443 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1444 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1445 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1446 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1448 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1449 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1451 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1452 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1453 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1454 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1455 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1457 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1458 This applies to the following functions:
1463 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1464 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1466 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1467 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1471 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1476 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1478 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1479 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1480 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1481 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1482 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1484 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1485 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1487 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1488 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1489 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1491 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1492 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1494 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1495 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1496 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1497 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1498 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1500 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1502 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1503 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1504 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1505 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1506 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1507 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1508 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1509 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1510 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1511 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1512 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1513 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1515 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1518 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1519 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1520 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1521 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1523 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1524 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1525 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1526 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1531 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1532 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1533 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1534 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1535 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1537 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1538 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1539 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1540 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1541 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1542 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1543 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1544 adding different types of curves.
1545 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1547 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1548 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1549 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1552 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1553 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1555 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1556 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1557 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1558 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1560 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1562 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1563 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1565 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1566 library. Most notably,
1567 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1568 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1569 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1570 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1571 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1572 extracted before the specific public key;
1573 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1574 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1576 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1577 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1579 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1580 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1581 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1582 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1584 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1585 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1586 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1588 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1589 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1590 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1591 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1592 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1593 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1597 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1599 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1600 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1601 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1602 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1603 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1604 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1605 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1606 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1607 in a different context.
1610 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1612 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1614 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1616 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1617 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1618 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1621 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1622 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1623 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1626 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1629 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1630 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1633 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1634 run algorithm test programs.
1637 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1640 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1641 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1642 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1643 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1644 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1647 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1648 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1651 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1653 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1654 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1655 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1657 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1658 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1660 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1661 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1663 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1664 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1665 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1667 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1668 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1669 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1670 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1671 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1672 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1673 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1676 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1678 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1679 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1681 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1682 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1683 undesirable limitations.
1684 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1686 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1688 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1689 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1690 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1692 The latter two were purportedly from
1693 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1696 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1697 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1698 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1701 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1702 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1705 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1707 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1708 module in FIPS mode.
1711 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1714 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1715 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1716 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1717 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1720 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1722 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1723 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1724 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1725 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1726 the difference induced by this change.
1729 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1731 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1732 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1733 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1734 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1735 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1737 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1738 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1739 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1741 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1742 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1745 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1746 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1747 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1748 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1752 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1753 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1754 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1755 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1756 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1758 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1759 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1760 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1761 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1762 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1763 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1765 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1767 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1768 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1769 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1770 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1771 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1774 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1778 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1779 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1780 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1783 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1784 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1785 structures constant.
1788 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1790 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1793 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1794 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1795 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1796 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1797 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1798 some needed definitions.
1801 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1804 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1805 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1806 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1807 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1810 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1812 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1813 server and client random values. Previously
1814 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1815 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1817 This change has negligible security impact because:
1819 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1822 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1825 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1826 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1829 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1832 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1834 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1837 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1838 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1839 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1841 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1844 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1845 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1848 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1849 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1850 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1852 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1855 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1856 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1857 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1861 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1862 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1863 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1864 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1866 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1867 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1868 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1869 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1873 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1875 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1876 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1877 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1878 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1879 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1882 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1885 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1886 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1888 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1889 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1890 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1891 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1892 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1893 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1894 rather than being initialized to 1.
1897 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1899 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1900 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1901 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1903 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1905 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1907 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1908 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1909 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1910 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1911 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1912 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1915 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1916 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1917 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1918 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1919 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1923 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1924 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1925 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1926 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1927 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1930 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1931 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1932 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1936 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1937 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1939 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1942 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1944 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1946 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1947 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1949 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1951 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1952 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1956 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1957 exiting on the first error in a request.
1960 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1961 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1965 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1966 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1967 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1968 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1970 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1971 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1974 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1975 blocks during encryption.
1978 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1979 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1980 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1981 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1985 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1986 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1987 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1988 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1989 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1993 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1995 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1996 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1997 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1998 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2001 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2002 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2003 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2004 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2005 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2007 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2008 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2009 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2010 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2011 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2012 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2013 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2014 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2015 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2018 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2019 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2020 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2021 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2024 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2025 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2028 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2030 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2031 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2032 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2033 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2034 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2036 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2037 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2038 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2040 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2041 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2042 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2043 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2044 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2046 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2047 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2048 used by default when no-err is given.
2051 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2052 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2054 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2055 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2056 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2057 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2058 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2060 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2061 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2062 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2063 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2065 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2067 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2069 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2071 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2072 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2073 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2074 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2078 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2079 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2081 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2082 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2085 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2086 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2087 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2088 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2091 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2092 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2093 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2094 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2095 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2096 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2097 followup to PR #377.
2100 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2101 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2104 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2105 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2106 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2107 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2109 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2111 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2114 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2115 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2116 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2117 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2119 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2123 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2124 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2128 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2129 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2130 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2131 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2132 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2133 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2135 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2136 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2137 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2138 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2139 have to be made anyway).
2142 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2143 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2144 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2147 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2148 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2149 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2152 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2153 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2154 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2156 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2157 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2158 edit numbers of the version.
2159 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2161 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2162 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2163 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2165 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2166 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2168 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2169 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2170 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2172 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2173 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2175 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2178 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2179 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2181 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2182 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2184 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2188 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2189 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2192 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2193 representations in a platform independent manner.
2194 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2196 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2197 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2198 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2200 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2202 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2204 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2205 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2207 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2211 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2212 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2215 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2219 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2220 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2222 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2223 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2225 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2226 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2228 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2229 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2231 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2235 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2238 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2241 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2242 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2246 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2247 the 0.9.6 release series:
2249 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2250 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2252 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2254 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2257 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2258 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2260 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2261 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2263 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2264 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2265 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2266 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2268 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2269 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2270 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2272 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2273 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2274 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2275 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2277 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2278 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2279 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2282 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2283 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2284 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2285 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2286 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2287 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2288 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2289 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2292 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2293 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2294 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2297 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2298 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2299 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2300 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2301 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2303 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2304 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2306 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2307 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2310 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2311 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2312 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2313 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2314 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2315 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2318 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2319 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2320 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2323 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2324 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2327 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2328 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2329 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2330 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2331 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2332 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2333 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2336 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2337 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2338 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2339 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2340 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2341 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2344 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2345 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2346 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2347 declaration has been changed from
2350 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2351 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2352 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2353 has been changed into
2354 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2356 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2357 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2358 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2360 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2361 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2363 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2364 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2365 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2366 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2367 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2368 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2369 always load it have also been added.
2372 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2373 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2374 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2376 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2378 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2379 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2380 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2382 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2383 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2384 command line option can be used to specify an
2388 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2389 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2392 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2393 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2394 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2397 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2398 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2399 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2400 to work with the new engine framework.
2401 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2403 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2404 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2405 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2406 to work with the new engine framework.
2409 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2410 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2411 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2413 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2414 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2416 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2417 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2418 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2419 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2421 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2423 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2424 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2426 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2427 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2429 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2430 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2431 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2434 *) Add new functions
2436 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2437 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2438 These are similar to
2441 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2442 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2443 still in the error queue.
2444 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2446 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2448 default_algorithms = ALL
2449 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2452 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2455 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2458 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2459 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2460 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2461 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2463 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2464 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2466 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2467 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2469 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2470 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2473 *) New functions/macros
2475 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2476 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2477 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2478 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2480 to request calling a callback function
2482 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2483 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2485 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2486 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2487 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2488 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2489 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2490 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2491 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2492 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2493 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2494 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2496 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2497 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2500 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2501 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2502 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2503 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2504 the configuration scripts.
2506 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2507 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2508 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2510 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2511 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2513 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2514 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2515 when reusing an existing buffer.
2518 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2519 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2522 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2523 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2526 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2527 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2528 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2529 has the same effect.
2530 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2532 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2533 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2534 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2535 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2536 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2537 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2540 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2541 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2542 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2543 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2545 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2546 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2547 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2548 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2550 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2551 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2554 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2555 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2556 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2557 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2558 default), and then completely removed.
2561 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2562 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2563 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2564 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2565 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2566 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2567 particular extension is supported.
2570 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2571 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2574 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2575 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2576 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2577 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2578 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2579 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2580 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2581 requires the destination to be valid.
2583 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2584 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2587 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2588 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2589 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2592 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2593 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2595 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2596 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2597 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2598 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2599 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2600 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2601 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2602 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2603 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2604 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2605 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2606 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2607 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2608 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2609 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2610 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2611 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2612 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2613 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2617 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2620 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2621 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2622 become part of libeay.num as well.
2625 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2626 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2627 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2628 false once a handshake has been completed.
2629 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2630 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2631 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2632 client has followed the request.)
2635 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2636 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2637 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2638 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2640 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2641 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2642 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2645 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2648 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2649 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2650 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2653 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2654 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2657 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2658 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2659 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2660 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2663 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2664 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2665 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2666 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2667 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2668 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2671 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2672 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2673 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2674 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2675 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2676 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2677 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2678 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2681 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2682 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2685 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2688 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2689 md_data void pointer.
2692 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2693 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2694 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2695 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2696 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2697 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2700 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2701 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2702 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2703 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2704 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2705 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2706 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2707 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2708 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2709 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2710 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2711 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2712 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2713 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2714 rather than letting it slide.
2716 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2717 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2718 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2721 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2722 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2723 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2724 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2725 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2726 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2727 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2728 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2729 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2732 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2733 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2734 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2735 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2736 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2738 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2741 *) Add EVP test program.
2744 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2747 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2748 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2749 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2750 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2751 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2754 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2755 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2756 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2757 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2758 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2759 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2760 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2762 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2763 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2764 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2769 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2770 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2771 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2772 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2773 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2777 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2778 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2779 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2780 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2783 des_key_schedule ks;
2785 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2786 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2788 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2791 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2792 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2793 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2794 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2795 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2796 functions prevents this.
2799 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2802 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2803 correct _ecb suffix.
2806 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2807 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2808 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2809 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2810 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2813 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2816 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2817 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2818 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2819 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2821 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2822 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2824 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2825 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2826 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2827 via Richard Levitte]
2829 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2830 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2831 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2832 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2835 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2838 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

2853 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2854 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2856 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2857 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2858 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2859 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2860 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2861 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2864 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2865 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2868 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2869 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2870 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2871 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2873 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2874 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2875 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2876 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2877 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2878 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2882 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2883 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2884 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2885 and interrupts/cancellations.
2888 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2889 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2892 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2893 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2894 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2896 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2897 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2901 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2902 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2903 than this minimum value is recommended.
2906 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2907 that are easily reachable.
2910 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2911 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2913 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2915 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2916 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2917 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2918 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2921 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2922 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2923 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2926 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2927 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2928 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2929 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2930 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2931 internally such as S/MIME.
2933 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2934 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2935 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2937 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2941 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2942 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2943 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2944 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2946 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2948 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2950 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2951 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2952 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2956 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2957 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2958 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2959 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2960 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2961 a window system and the like.
2964 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2965 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2968 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2969 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2970 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2971 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2972 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2973 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2974 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2975 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2976 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2980 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2981 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2985 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2986 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2987 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2988 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2989 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2990 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2991 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2992 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2995 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2996 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2997 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2998 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2999 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3000 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3001 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3002 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3003 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3004 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3005 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3006 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3007 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3008 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3009 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3010 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3011 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3014 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3015 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3016 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3017 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3018 internal engine_int.h header.
3021 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3022 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3023 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3024 modify their own ones).
3027 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3028 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3029 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3030 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3031 later on via ctrl() commands.
3032 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3033 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3034 structural references.
3035 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3036 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3037 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3038 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3039 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3040 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3041 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3042 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3043 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3044 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3045 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3046 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3049 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3050 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3051 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3052 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3053 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3054 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3055 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3056 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3059 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3060 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3063 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3064 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3067 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3068 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3069 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3070 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3071 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3072 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3073 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3076 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3077 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3078 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3079 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3080 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3082 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3083 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3087 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3089 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3090 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3091 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3093 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3094 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3096 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3097 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3098 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3100 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3101 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3103 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3104 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3106 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3108 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3109 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3110 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3113 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3114 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3117 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3118 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3119 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3120 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3121 is 40 of more characters long.
3124 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3125 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3129 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3130 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3133 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3134 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3138 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3140 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3141 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3144 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3146 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3147 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3148 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3150 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3151 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3153 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3156 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3160 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3161 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3162 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3163 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3165 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3167 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3168 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3170 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3171 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3172 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3173 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3174 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3175 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3177 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3178 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3180 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3181 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3183 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3184 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3186 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3187 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3188 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3189 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3191 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3192 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3194 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3195 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3197 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3198 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3199 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3200 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3201 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3204 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3205 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3206 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3207 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3210 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3211 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3212 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3216 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3217 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3218 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3219 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3220 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3221 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3222 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3223 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3227 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3228 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3231 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3232 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3233 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3234 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3237 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3238 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3239 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3240 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3241 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3242 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3243 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3244 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3245 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3246 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3249 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3250 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3251 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3252 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3253 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3254 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3255 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3256 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3258 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3259 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3260 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3261 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3264 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3265 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3266 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3267 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3269 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3270 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3271 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3272 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3273 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3277 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3278 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3279 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3280 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3284 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3285 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3286 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3289 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3290 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3291 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3292 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3293 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3296 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3299 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3300 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3301 option to ocsp utility.
3304 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3305 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3306 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3307 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3308 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3309 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3310 the request is nonce-less.
3313 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3314 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3315 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3318 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3319 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3320 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3323 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3324 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3325 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3326 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3327 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3330 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3331 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3335 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3336 additional certificates supplied.
3339 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3340 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3344 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3345 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3348 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3349 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3350 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3351 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3352 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3353 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3354 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3355 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3356 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3358 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3359 request to response.
3362 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3363 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3364 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3365 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3366 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3367 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3368 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3369 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3370 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3371 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3372 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3375 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3376 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3377 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3378 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3381 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3382 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3384 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3385 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3386 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3389 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3390 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3391 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3392 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3393 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3395 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3396 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3397 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3400 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3401 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3402 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3403 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3404 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3405 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3406 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3407 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3409 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3410 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3411 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3412 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3413 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3414 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3417 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3418 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3419 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3420 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3421 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3422 printout format cleaned up.
3425 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3426 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3427 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3428 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3429 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3430 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3431 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3432 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3435 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3436 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3437 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3438 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3439 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3440 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3441 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3442 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3445 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3446 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3447 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3448 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3450 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3452 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3453 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3454 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3455 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3458 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3459 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3460 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3461 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3463 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3465 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3466 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3467 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3468 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3470 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3471 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3473 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3474 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3475 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3478 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3479 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3480 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3483 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3484 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3485 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3486 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3487 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3488 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3489 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3490 functions are provided:
3492 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3493 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3494 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3495 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3497 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3498 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3499 extended allocation function is enabled.
3500 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3501 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3502 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3504 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3505 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3506 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3507 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3508 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3511 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3512 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3513 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3515 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3516 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3517 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3520 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3521 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3522 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3523 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3524 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3525 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3526 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3527 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3528 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3531 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3532 provide utility functions which an application needing
3533 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3534 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3535 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3537 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3538 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3539 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3540 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3541 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3542 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3543 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3544 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3545 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3547 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3548 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3549 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3550 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3553 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3554 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3555 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3556 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3557 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3558 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3559 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3560 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3561 will be added elsewhere.
3564 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3565 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3566 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3567 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3570 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3571 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3572 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3573 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3574 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3575 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3576 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3577 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3578 software that does not order SET OF. This is&n
