5 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
8 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
10 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
11 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
14 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
15 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
16 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
17 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
20 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
21 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
22 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
25 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
29 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
30 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
33 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
34 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
35 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
39 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
40 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
41 to free up any added signature OIDs.
44 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
45 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
46 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
47 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
50 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
51 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
52 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
53 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
54 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
55 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
56 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
57 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
59 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
60 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
61 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
63 we now have additional functions
65 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
66 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
67 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
69 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
70 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
74 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
75 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
76 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
77 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
78 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
79 the array representation useful in a more general context.
82 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
83 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
84 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
85 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
86 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
88 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
89 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
90 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
91 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
92 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
95 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
96 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
97 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
98 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
100 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
101 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
102 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
103 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
104 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
110 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
111 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
115 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
116 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
119 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
120 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
123 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
124 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
125 functional reference processing.
128 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
129 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
133 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
134 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
135 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
138 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
139 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
140 application to support multiple signers.
143 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
147 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
148 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
149 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
150 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
151 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
154 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
158 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
159 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
160 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
161 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
165 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
166 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
167 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
168 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
169 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
170 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
171 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
172 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
175 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
176 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
177 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
178 between digests and public key types.
181 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
182 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
183 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
184 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
187 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
188 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
192 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
195 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
199 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
200 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
201 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
202 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
207 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
209 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
211 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
213 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
214 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
215 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
216 functionality for RSA.
219 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
220 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
221 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
224 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
225 key API, doesn't do much yet.
228 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
229 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
230 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
233 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
234 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
237 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
238 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
241 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
242 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
246 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
247 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
248 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
252 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
253 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
254 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
255 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
256 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
257 of public and private key structures.
260 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
261 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
264 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
265 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
266 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
269 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
273 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
274 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
276 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
278 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
280 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
281 and response verification functionality.
282 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
284 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
285 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
286 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
287 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
288 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
289 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
290 server_name extension.
292 New functions (subject to change):
295 SSL_get_servername_type()
298 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
300 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
301 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
302 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
303 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
304 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
306 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
308 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
309 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
310 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
311 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
312 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
313 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
316 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
318 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
321 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
322 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
323 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
324 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
325 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
328 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
329 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
333 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
334 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
335 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
336 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
339 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
340 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
341 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
342 using the maximum available value.
345 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
346 in addition to the text details.
349 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
350 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
351 handle several customised structures at all.
354 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
355 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
356 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
359 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
362 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
363 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
364 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
367 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
368 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
369 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
372 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
373 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
377 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
380 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
383 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [xx XXX xxxx]
385 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
387 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
388 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
390 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
393 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
394 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
395 undesirable limitations.
396 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
398 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
399 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
400 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
401 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
402 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
403 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
404 to avoid potential handshake problems.
407 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
409 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
410 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
411 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
413 The latter two were purportedly from
414 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
417 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
418 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
419 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
422 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
423 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
426 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
427 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
428 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
429 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
431 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
432 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
433 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
436 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
437 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
438 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
439 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
440 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
441 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
444 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
446 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
447 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
450 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
451 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
453 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
454 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
455 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
456 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
459 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
460 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
463 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
464 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
465 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
466 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
467 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
468 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
469 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
473 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
474 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
475 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
476 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
479 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
480 under VC++ build system.
483 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
484 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
487 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
489 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
490 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
491 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
492 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
493 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
495 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
496 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
497 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
499 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
502 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
503 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
506 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
507 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
509 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
512 *) Extended Windows CE support.
513 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
515 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
516 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
519 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
520 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
524 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
526 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
529 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
532 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
533 key into the same file any more.
536 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
539 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
540 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
542 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
543 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
546 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
547 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
548 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
549 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
550 this only applies when building 'shared'.
551 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
553 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
554 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
555 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
558 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
559 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
560 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
561 - add new function for parameter creation
562 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
563 BN_BLINDING parameters
564 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
565 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
566 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
570 *) Add support for DTLS.
571 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
573 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
574 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
577 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
578 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
581 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
582 the apps/openssl applications.
585 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
586 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
587 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
590 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
591 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
593 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
594 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
596 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
597 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
598 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
599 avoid this algorithm.)
603 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
604 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
605 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
608 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
609 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
612 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
613 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
614 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
617 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
619 The blank line is mandatory.
623 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
624 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
628 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
629 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
631 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
632 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
633 to support policy checking and print out.
636 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
637 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
638 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
639 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
641 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
644 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
645 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
647 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
648 implementation contributed by IBM.
649 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
651 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
652 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
653 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
654 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
656 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
657 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
659 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
660 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
661 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
662 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
663 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
664 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
667 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
668 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
669 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
670 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
671 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
672 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
673 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
676 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
679 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
680 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
681 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
682 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
683 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
684 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
685 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
686 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
689 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
690 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
691 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
692 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
695 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
698 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
701 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
702 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
703 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
704 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
705 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
706 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
710 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
711 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
714 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
715 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
716 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
719 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
720 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
721 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
725 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
726 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
729 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
730 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
731 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
732 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
735 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
736 initialised value as BN_new().
737 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
739 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
742 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
743 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
744 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
745 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
746 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
747 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
748 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
749 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
750 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
751 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
752 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
753 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
754 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
755 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
756 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
758 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
759 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
760 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
761 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
764 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
765 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
766 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
767 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
768 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
769 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
770 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
771 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
772 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
775 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
776 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
777 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
778 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
779 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
780 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
781 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
784 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
785 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
786 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
787 these have been updated also.
790 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
791 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
792 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
793 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
794 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
798 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
799 structure of type "other".
802 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
803 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
804 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
805 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
806 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
807 situation in the script.
808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
810 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
811 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
812 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
813 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
814 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
815 used as premaster secret.
816 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
818 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
819 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
820 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
822 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
823 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
825 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
826 control of the error stack.
829 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
832 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
833 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
834 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
835 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
838 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
839 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
840 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
843 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
844 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
845 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
849 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
850 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
851 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
852 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
855 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
856 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
857 the following flags are defined:
859 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
860 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
861 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
864 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
865 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
866 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
867 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
871 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
872 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
873 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
874 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
875 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
878 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
879 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
880 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
883 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
884 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
885 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
886 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
887 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
888 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
891 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
895 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
898 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
901 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
904 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
905 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
906 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
907 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
908 default implementation more easily.
911 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
915 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
916 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
919 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
920 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
921 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
922 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
924 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
925 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
926 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
930 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
931 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
935 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
936 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
937 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
938 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
939 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
941 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
943 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
944 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
945 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
949 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
950 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
951 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
952 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
953 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
954 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
955 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
956 linker additions, eg;
957 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
960 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
961 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
962 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
965 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
966 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
967 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
971 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
972 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
973 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
974 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
977 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
978 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
979 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
980 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
981 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
982 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
983 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
984 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
985 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
986 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
988 Example for using the new callback interface:
990 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
994 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
996 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
997 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
998 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
999 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1000 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1001 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1006 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1007 available to TLS with the number defined in
1008 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1011 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1012 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1014 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1015 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1016 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1017 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1019 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1020 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1022 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1023 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1027 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1028 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1031 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1032 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1033 and a macro that behave like
1034 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1036 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1039 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1040 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1041 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1043 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1045 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1048 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1049 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1050 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1051 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1053 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1054 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1055 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1056 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1057 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1058 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1059 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1060 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1062 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1063 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1066 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1067 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1069 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1070 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1071 files while avoiding the low level API.
1073 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1074 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1075 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1076 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1078 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1079 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1080 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1081 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1082 instead of the low level API.
1085 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1086 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1087 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1088 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1089 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1092 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1093 down to the template encoder.
1096 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1097 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1100 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1101 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1102 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1103 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1105 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1106 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1108 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1109 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1111 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1112 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1115 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1116 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1117 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1120 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1121 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1123 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1124 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1126 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1127 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1130 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1134 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1135 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1136 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1137 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1138 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1139 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1141 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1142 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1145 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1146 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1147 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1148 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1149 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1150 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1151 various internal method names.)
1153 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1154 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1156 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1157 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1159 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1160 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1162 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1163 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1164 methods are undefined.
1166 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1167 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1169 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1170 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1171 length of the modulus.
1173 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1174 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1176 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1177 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1179 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1180 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1182 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1183 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1184 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1187 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1188 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1189 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1190 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1192 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1193 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1194 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1195 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1197 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1198 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1200 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1201 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1202 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1203 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1204 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1206 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1207 This applies to the following functions:
1212 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1213 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1215 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1216 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1220 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1225 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1227 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1228 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1229 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1230 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1231 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1233 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1234 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1236 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1237 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1238 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1240 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1241 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1243 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1244 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1245 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1246 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1247 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1249 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1251 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1252 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1253 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1254 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1255 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1256 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1257 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1258 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1259 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1260 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1261 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1262 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1264 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1267 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1268 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1269 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1270 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1272 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1273 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1274 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1275 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1280 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1281 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1282 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1283 EC_POINT_oct2point().

1286 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1287 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1288 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1289 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1290 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1291 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1292 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1293 adding different types of curves.
1294 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1296 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1297 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1298 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1301 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1302 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1304 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1305 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1306 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1307 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1309 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1311 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1312 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1314 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1315 library. Most notably,
1316 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1317 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1318 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1319 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1320 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1321 extracted before the specific public key;
1322 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1323 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1325 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1326 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1328 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1329 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1330 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1331 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1333 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1334 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1335 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1337 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1338 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1339 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1340 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1341 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1342 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with

1351 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1353 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1354 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1355 undesirable limitations.
1356 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1358 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1360 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1361 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1362 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1364 The latter two were purportedly from
1365 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1368 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1369 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1370 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1373 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1374 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1377 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1379 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1380 module in FIPS mode.
1383 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1386 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1387 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1388 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1389 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1392 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1394 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1395 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1396 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1397 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1398 the difference induced by this change.
1401 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1403 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1404 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1405 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1406 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1407 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1409 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1410 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1411 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1413 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1414 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1417 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1418 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1419 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1420 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1424 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1425 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1426 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1427 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1428 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1430 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1431 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1432 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1433 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1434 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1435 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1437 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1439 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1440 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1441 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1442 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1443 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1446 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1450 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1451 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1452 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1455 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1456 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1457 structures constant.
1460 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1462 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1465 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1466 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1467 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1468 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1469 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1470 some needed definitions.
1473 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1476 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1477 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1478 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1479 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1482 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1484 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1485 server and client random values. Previously
1486 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1487 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1489 This change has negligible security impact because:
1491 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1494 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1497 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1498 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1501 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1504 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1506 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1509 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1510 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1511 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1513 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1516 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1517 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1520 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1521 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1522 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1524 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1527 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1528 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1529 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1533 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1534 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1535 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1536 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1538 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1539 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1540 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1541 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1545 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1547 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1548 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1549 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1550 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1551 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1554 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1557 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1558 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1560 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1561 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1562 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1563 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1564 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1565 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1566 rather than being initialized to 1.

1572 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1573 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1575 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1577 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1579 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1580 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1581 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1582 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1583 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1584 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1587 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1588 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1589 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1590 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1591 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1595 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1596 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1597 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1598 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1599 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1602 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1603 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1604 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1608 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1609 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1611 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1614 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1616 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1618 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1619 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1621 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1623 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1624 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1628 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1629 exiting on the first error in a request.
1632 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1633 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1637 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1638 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1639 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1640 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1642 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1643 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1646 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1647 blocks during encryption.
1650 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1651 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1652 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1653 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1657 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1658 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1659 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1660 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1661 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1665 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1667 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1668 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1669 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1670 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1673 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1674 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1675 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1676 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1677 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1679 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1680 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1681 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1682 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1683 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1684 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1685 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1686 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1687 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1690 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1691 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1692 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1693 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1696 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1697 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1700 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1702 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1703 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1704 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1705 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1706 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)

1709 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1710 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1712 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1713 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1714 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1715 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1716 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1718 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1719 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1720 used by default when no-err is given.
1723 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1724 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1726 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1727 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1728 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1729 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1730 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1732 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1733 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1734 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1735 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1737 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1739 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1741 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1743 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1744 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1745 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1746 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1750 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1751 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1753 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1754 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1757 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1758 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1759 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1760 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1763 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1764 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1765 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1766 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1767 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1768 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1769 followup to PR #377.
1772 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1773 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1776 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1777 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1778 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1801 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1802 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1803 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.

1807 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1808 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1809 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1810 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1811 have to be made anyway).
1814 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1815 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1816 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.

1820 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1821 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

1864 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1865 representations in a platform independent manner.
1866 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1868 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1869 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1870 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1872 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1874 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1876 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1877 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1879 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1881 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1883 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1884 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1885 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1887 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1889 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1891 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1892 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1894 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1895 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1897 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1898 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1900 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1901 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1903 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1905 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1907 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1908 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1910 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1911 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1913 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1914 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1918 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1919 the 0.9.6 release series:
1921 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1922 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1924 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1926 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1929 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1930 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1932 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1933 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1935 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1936 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1937 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1938 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1940 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1941 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1942 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1944 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1945 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1946 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1947 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1949 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1950 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1951 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1954 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1955 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1956 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1957 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1958 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1959 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1960 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1961 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1964 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1965 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1966 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1969 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1970 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1971 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1972 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1973 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1975 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1976 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1978 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1979 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1982 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1983 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1984 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1985 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1986 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1987 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1990 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1991 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1992 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1995 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1996 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1999 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2000 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2001 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2002 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2003 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2004 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2005 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2008 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2009 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2010 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2011 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2012 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2013 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2016 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2017 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2018 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2019 declaration has been changed from
2022 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2023 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2024 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2025 has been changed into
2026 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2028 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2029 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2030 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2032 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2033 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2035 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2036 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2037 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2038 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2039 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2040 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2041 always load it have also been added.
2044 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2045 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2046 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2048 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2050 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2051 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2052 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2054 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2055 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2056 command line option can be used to specify an
2060 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2061 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2064 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2065 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2066 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2069 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2070 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2071 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2072 to work with the new engine framework.
2073 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2075 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2076 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2077 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2078 to work with the new engine framework.
2081 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2082 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2083 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2085 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2086 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2088 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2089 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2090 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2091 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2093 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2095 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2096 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2098 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2099 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2101 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2102 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2103 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2106 *) Add new functions
2108 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2109 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2110 These are similar to
2113 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2114 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2115 still in the error queue.
2116 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2118 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2120 default_algorithms = ALL
2121 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2124 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2127 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2130 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2131 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2132 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2133 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2135 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2136 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2138 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2139 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2141 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2142 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2145 *) New functions/macros
2147 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2148 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2149 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2150 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2152 to request calling a callback function
2154 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2155 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2157 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2158 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2159 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2160 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2161 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2162 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2163 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2164 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2165 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2166 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2168 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2169 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2172 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2173 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2174 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2175 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2176 the configuration scripts.
2178 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2179 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2180 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2182 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2183 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2185 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2186 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2187 when reusing an existing buffer.
2190 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2191 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2194 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2195 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2198 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2199 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2200 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2201 has the same effect.
2202 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2204 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2205 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2206 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2207 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2208 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2209 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2212 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2213 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2214 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2215 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2217 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2218 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2219 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2220 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2222 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2223 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2226 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2227 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2228 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2229 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2230 default), and then completely removed.
2233 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2234 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2235 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2236 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2237 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2238 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2239 particular extension is supported.
2242 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2243 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2246 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2247 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2248 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2249 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2250 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2251 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2252 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2253 requires the destination to be valid.
2255 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2256 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2259 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2260 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2261 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2264 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2265 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2267 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2268 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2269 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2270 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2271 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2272 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2273 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2274 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2275 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2276 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2277 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2278 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2279 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2280 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2281 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2282 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2283 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2284 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2285 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2289 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2292 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2293 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2294 become part of libeay.num as well.
2297 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2298 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2299 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2300 false once a handshake has been completed.
2301 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2302 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2303 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2304 client has followed the request.)
2307 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2308 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2309 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2310 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2312 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2313 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2314 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2317 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2320 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2321 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2322 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2325 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2326 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2329 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2330 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2331 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2332 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2335 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2336 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2337 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2338 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2339 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2340 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2343 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2344 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2345 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2346 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2347 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2348 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2349 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2350 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2353 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2354 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2357 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2360 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2361 md_data void pointer.
2364 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2365 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2366 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2367 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2368 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2369 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2372 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2373 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2374 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2375 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2376 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2377 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2378 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2379 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2380 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2381 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2382 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2383 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2384 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2385 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2386 rather than letting it slide.
2388 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2389 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2390 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2393 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2394 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2395 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2396 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2397 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2398 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2399 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2400 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2401 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2404 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2405 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2406 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2407 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2408 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2410 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2413 *) Add EVP test program.
2416 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2419 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2420 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2421 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2422 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2423 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2426 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2427 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2428 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2429 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2430 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2431 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2432 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2434 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2435 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2436 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2441 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2442 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2443 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2444 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2445 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2449 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2450 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2451 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2452 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2455 des_key_schedule ks;
2457 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2458 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2460 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2463 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2464 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2465 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2466 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2467 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2468 functions prevents this.
2471 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2474 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2475 correct _ecb suffix.
2478 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2479 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2480 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2481 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2482 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2485 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2488 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2489 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2490 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2491 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2493 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2494 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2496 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2497 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2498 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2499 via Richard Levitte]
2501 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2502 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2503 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2504 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2507 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2510 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2511 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2525 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2526 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2528 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2529 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2530 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2531 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2532 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2533 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2536 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2537 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2540 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2541 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2542 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2543 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2545 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2546 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2547 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2548 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2549 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2550 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2554 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2555 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2556 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2557 and interrupts/cancellations.
2560 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2561 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2564 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2565 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2566 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2568 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2569 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2573 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2574 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2575 than this minimum value is recommended.
2578 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2579 that are easily reachable.
2582 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2583 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2585 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2587 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2588 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2589 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2590 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2593 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2594 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2595 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2598 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2599 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2600 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2601 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2602 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2603 internally such as S/MIME.
2605 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2606 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2607 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2609 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2613 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2614 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2615 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2616 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2618 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2620 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2622 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2623 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2624 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2628 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2629 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2630 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2631 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2632 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2633 a window system and the like.
2636 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2637 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2640 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2641 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2642 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2643 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2644 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2645 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2646 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2647 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2648 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2652 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2653 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2657 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2658 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2659 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2660 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2661 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2662 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2663 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2664 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2667 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2668 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2669 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2670 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2671 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2672 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2673 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2674 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2675 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2676 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2677 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2678 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2679 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2680 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2681 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2682 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2683 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2686 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2687 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2688 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2689 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2690 internal engine_int.h header.
2693 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2694 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2695 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2696 modify their own ones).
2699 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2700 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2701 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2702 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2703 later on via ctrl() commands.
2704 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2705 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2706 structural references.
2707 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2708 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2709 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2710 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2711 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2712 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2713 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2714 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2715 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2716 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2717 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2718 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2721 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2722 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2723 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2724 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2725 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2726 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2727 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2728 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2731 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2732 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2735 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2736 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2739 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2740 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2741 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2742 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2743 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2744 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2745 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2748 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2749 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2750 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2751 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2752 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2754 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2755 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2759 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2761 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2762 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2763 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2765 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2766 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2768 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2769 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2770 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2772 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2773 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2775 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2776 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2778 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2780 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2781 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2782 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2785 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2786 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2789 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2790 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2791 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2792 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2793 is 40 of more characters long.
2796 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2797 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2801 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2802 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2805 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2806 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2810 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2812 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2813 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2816 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2818 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2819 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2820 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2822 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2823 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2825 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2828 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2832 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2833 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2834 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2835 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2837 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2839 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2840 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2842 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2843 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2844 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2845 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2846 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2847 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2849 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2850 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2852 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2853 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2855 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2856 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2858 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2859 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2860 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2861 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2863 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2864 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2866 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2867 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2869 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2870 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2871 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2872 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2873 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2876 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2877 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2878 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2879 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2882 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2883 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2884 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2888 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2889 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2890 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2891 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2892 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2893 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2894 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2895 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2899 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2900 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2903 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2904 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2905 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2906 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2909 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2910 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2911 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2912 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2913 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2914 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2915 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2916 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2917 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2918 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2921 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2922 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2923 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2924 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2925 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2926 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2927 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2928 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2930 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2931 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2932 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2933 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2936 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2937 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2938 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2939 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2941 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2942 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2943 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2944 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2945 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2949 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2950 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2951 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2952 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2956 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2957 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2958 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2961 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2962 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2963 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2964 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2965 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2968 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2971 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2972 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2973 option to ocsp utility.
2976 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2977 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2978 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2979 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2980 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2981 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2982 the request is nonce-less.
2985 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2986 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2987 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2990 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2991 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2992 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2995 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2996 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2997 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2998 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2999 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3002 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3003 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3007 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3008 additional certificates supplied.
3011 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3012 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3016 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3017 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3020 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3021 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3022 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3023 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3024 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3025 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3026 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3027 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3028 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3030 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3031 request to response.
3034 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3035 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3036 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3037 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3038 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3039 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3040 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3041 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3042 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3043 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3044 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3047 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3048 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3049 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3050 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3053 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3054 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3056 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3057 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3058 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3061 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3062 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3063 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3064 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3065 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3067 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3068 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3069 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3072 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3073 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3074 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3075 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3076 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3077 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3078 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3079 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3081 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3082 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3083 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3084 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3085 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3086 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3089 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3090 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3091 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3092 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3093 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3094 printout format cleaned up.
3097 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3098 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3099 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3100 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3101 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3102 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3103 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3104 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3107 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3108 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3109 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3110 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3111 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3112 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3113 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3114 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3117 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3118 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3119 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3120 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3122 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3124 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3125 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3126 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3127 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3130 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3131 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3132 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3133 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3135 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3137 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3138 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3139 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3140 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3142 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3143 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3145 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3146 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3147 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3150 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3151 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3152 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3155 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3156 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3157 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3158 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3159 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3160 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3161 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3162 functions are provided:
3164 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3165 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3166 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3167 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3169 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3170 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3171 extended allocation function is enabled.
3172 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3173 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3174 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3176 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3177 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3178 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3179 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3180 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3183 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3184 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3185 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3187 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3188 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3189 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3192 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3193 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3194 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3195 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3196 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3197 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3198 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3199 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3200 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3203 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3204 provide utility functions which an application needing
3205 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3206 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3207 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3209 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3210 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3211 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3212 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3213 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3214 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3215 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3216 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3217 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3219 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3220 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3221 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3222 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3225 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3226 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3227 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3228 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3229 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3230 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3231 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3232 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3233 will be added elsewhere.
3236 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3237 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3238 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3239 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3242 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3243 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3244 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3245 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3246 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3247 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3248 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3249 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3250 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3251 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3252 to produce the required SET OF.
3255 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3256 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3257 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3260 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3261 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3262 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3263 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3264 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3265 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3268 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3269 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3270 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3273 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3274 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3275 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3278 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3279 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3280 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3281 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3282 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3285 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3286 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3289 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3290 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3291 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3292 certifcates and CRLs.
3295 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3296 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3297 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3300 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3301 entries for variables.
3304 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3305 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3306 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3307 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3310 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3311 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3312 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3313 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3314 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3315 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3318 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3319 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3321 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3322 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3323 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3326 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3330 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3331 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3332 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3333 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3334 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3335 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3338 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3341 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3342 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3343 for now but they will eventually go away.
3346 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3347 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3348 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3349 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3350 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3351 has also been converted to the new form.
3354 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3355 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3356 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3357 for negative moduli.
3360 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3361 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3364 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3368 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3369 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3370 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3371 type-specific callbacks.
3374 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3376 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3377 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3379 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3380 in sections depending on the subject.
3383 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3387 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3388 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3389 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3390 be handled deterministically).
3391 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3393 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3394 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3395 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3398 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3401 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3402 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3403 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3404 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3405 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3408 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3409 sign of the number in question.
3411 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3413 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3414 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3415 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3416 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3417 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3420 *) New function BN_swap.
3423 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3424 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3425 results on negative inputs.
3428 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3429 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3430 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3433 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3434 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3435 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3436 and add new functions:
3445 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3449 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3451 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3452 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3454 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3455 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3456 be reduced modulo m.
3457 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3460 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3461 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3462 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3464 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3465 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3466 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3467 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3468 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3469 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3474 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3475 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3476 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3477 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3478 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3480 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3481 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3482 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3486 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3489 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3490 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3493 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3494 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3495 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3496 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3500 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3503 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3506 *) Add the following functions:
3508 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3510 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3512 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3514 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3515 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3516 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3517 libraries unless it's really needed.
3519 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3520 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3521 declarations (they differed!).
3524 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3527 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3530 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3533 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3534 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3537 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3538 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3539 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3541 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3542 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3545 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3548 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3551 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3554 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3555 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3556 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3558 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3559 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3560 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3561 different shared library filenames on each system.
3564 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3567 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3568 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3569 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3571 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3574 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
