5 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) To support arbitrarily-typed thread IDs, deprecate the existing
8 type-specific APIs for a general purpose CRYPTO_THREADID
9 interface. Applications can choose the thread ID
10 callback type it wishes to register, as before;
12 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
13 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
15 but retrieval, copies, and comparisons of thread IDs are via
16 type-independent interfaces;
18 void CRYPTO_THREADID_set(CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
19 void CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id1,
20 const CRYPTO_THREADID *id2);
21 void CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy(CRYPTO_THREADID *dst,
22 const CRYPTO_THREADID *src);
24 Also, for code that needs a thread ID "value" for use in
25 hash-tables or logging, a "hash" is available by;
27 unsigned long CRYPTO_THREADID_hash(const CRYPTO_THREADID *id);
29 This hash value is likely to be the thread ID anyway, but
30 otherwise it will be unique if possible or as collision-free as
31 possible if uniqueness can't be guaranteed on the target
34 The following functions are deprecated;
35 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
36 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
38 As a consequence of the above, there are similar deprecations of
39 BN_BLINDING functions in favour of CRYPTO_THREADID-based
42 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
43 unsigned long BN_BLINDING_get_thread_id(const BN_BLINDING *);
44 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread_id(BN_BLINDING *, unsigned long);
46 void BN_BLINDING_set_thread(BN_BLINDING *);
47 int BN_BLINDING_cmp_thread(const BN_BLINDING *, const
50 Also, the ERR_remove_state(int pid) API has been deprecated;
52 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
53 void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid)
55 void ERR_remove_thread_state(CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
59 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
60 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
61 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
62 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
63 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
64 content types and variants.
67 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
68 uncompresses any data passed through it. Add options to enc utility
72 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
73 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
74 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
75 files from the associated perl scripts.
78 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
79 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
80 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
82 *) s390x assembler pack.
85 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
89 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
90 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
91 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
92 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
93 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
94 to use. For example, specify an option
96 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
98 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
99 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
100 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
101 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
102 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
103 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
105 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
106 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
107 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
108 return non-zero for success.
110 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
113 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
114 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
118 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
121 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
122 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
123 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
124 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
125 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
126 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
127 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
128 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
129 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
131 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
132 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
133 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
134 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
135 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
136 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
138 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
139 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
140 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
141 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
142 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
143 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
147 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
150 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
152 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
153 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
154 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
157 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
158 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
161 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
162 protection in servers so again support should be possible
163 with no application modification.
165 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
166 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
168 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
169 or server extensions to be examined.
171 This work was sponsored by Google.
174 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
175 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
176 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
178 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
179 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
181 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
183 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
184 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
185 to output in BER and PEM format.
188 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
189 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
190 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
191 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
192 -macopt options to dgst utility.
195 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
196 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
197 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
201 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
202 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
203 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
204 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
205 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
206 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
207 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
208 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
211 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
212 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
213 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
214 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
216 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
217 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
218 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
222 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
223 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
224 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
225 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
226 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
227 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
228 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
229 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
230 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
232 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
233 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
234 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
235 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
236 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
237 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
238 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
239 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
240 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
241 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
242 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
245 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
246 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
247 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
249 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
250 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
254 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
255 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
256 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
259 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
260 it yet and it is largely untested.
263 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
266 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
267 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
268 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
271 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
274 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
275 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
276 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
277 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
280 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
281 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
282 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
283 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
284 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
287 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
288 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
291 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
292 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
293 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
294 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
297 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
298 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
299 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
300 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
303 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
304 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
307 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
308 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
309 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
310 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
313 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
314 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
315 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
318 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
322 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
323 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
326 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
327 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
328 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
332 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
333 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
334 to free up any added signature OIDs.
337 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
338 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
339 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
340 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
343 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
344 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
345 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
346 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
347 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
348 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
349 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
350 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
352 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
353 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
354 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
356 we now have additional functions
358 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
359 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
360 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
362 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
363 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
367 -- NOTE -- this change has been reverted and replaced with a
368 type-independent wrapper (ie. applications do not have to check
369 two type-specific thread ID representations as implied in this
370 change note). However, the "idptr" callback form described here
371 can still be registered. Please see the more recent CHANGES note
372 regarding CRYPTO_THREADID. [Geoff Thorpe]
375 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
376 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
377 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
378 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
379 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
380 the array representation useful in a more general context.
383 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
384 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
385 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
386 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
387 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
389 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
390 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
391 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
392 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
393 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
396 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
397 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
398 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
399 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
401 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
402 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
403 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
404 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
405 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
411 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
412 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
416 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
417 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
420 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
421 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
424 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
425 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
426 functional reference processing.
429 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
430 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
434 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
435 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
436 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
439 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
440 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
441 application to support multiple signers.
444 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
448 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
449 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
450 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
451 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
452 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
455 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
459 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
460 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
461 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
462 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
466 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
467 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
468 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
469 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
470 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
471 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
472 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
473 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
476 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
477 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
478 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
479 between digests and public key types.
482 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
483 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
484 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
485 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
488 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
489 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
493 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
496 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
500 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
501 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
502 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
503 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
508 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
510 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
512 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
514 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
515 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
516 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
517 functionality for RSA.
520 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
521 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
522 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
525 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
526 key API, doesn't do much yet.
529 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
530 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
531 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
534 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
535 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
538 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
539 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
542 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
543 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
547 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
548 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
549 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
553 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
554 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
555 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
556 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
557 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
558 of public and private key structures.
561 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
562 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
565 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
566 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
567 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
570 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
574 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
575 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
577 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
579 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
581 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
582 and response verification functionality.
583 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
585 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
586 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
587 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
588 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
589 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
590 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
591 server_name extension.
593 New functions (subject to change):
596 SSL_get_servername_type()
599 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
601 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
602 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
603 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
604 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
605 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
607 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
609 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
610 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
611 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
612 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
613 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
614 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
617 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
619 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
622 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
623 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
624 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
625 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
626 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
629 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
630 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
634 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
635 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
636 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
637 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
640 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
641 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
642 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
643 using the maximum available value.
646 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
647 in addition to the text details.
650 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
651 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
652 handle several customised structures at all.
655 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
656 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
657 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
660 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
663 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
664 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
665 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
668 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
669 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
670 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
673 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
674 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
678 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
681 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
684 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [xx XXX xxxx]
686 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
687 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
690 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
691 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
692 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
693 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
694 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
695 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
699 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
700 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

722 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
723 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
724 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
725 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
726 to s_client and s_server.
729 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
732 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
733 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
734 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
735 + Fix ia64 assembler code
736 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
738 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
740 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
741 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
742 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
743 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
744 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
745 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
746 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
747 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
750 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
751 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
752 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
755 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
756 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
757 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
760 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
761 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
764 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
765 protection in servers so again support should be possible
766 with no application modification.
768 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
769 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
771 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
772 or server extensions to be examined.
774 This work was sponsored by Google.
777 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
778 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
779 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
780 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
781 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
782 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
783 server_name extension.
785 New functions (subject to change):
788 SSL_get_servername_type()
791 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
793 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
794 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
795 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
796 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
797 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
799 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
801 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
802 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
803 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
804 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
805 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
806 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
809 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
811 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
814 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
817 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
818 (which previously caused an internal error).
821 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
824 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
825 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
827 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
828 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
829 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
831 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
832 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
833 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
834 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
836 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
837 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
838 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
841 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
842 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
843 information. For detailed background information, see
844 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
845 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
846 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
847 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
848 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
849 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
850 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
851 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
852 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
853 remove a conditional branch.
855 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
856 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
857 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
858 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
859 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
860 remains as a deprecated alias.
862 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
863 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
864 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
865 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
867 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
868 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
869 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
870 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
871 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
872 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
873 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
874 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
876 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
878 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
879 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
880 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
881 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
882 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
883 with applications using a single external cache for quite
884 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
885 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
886 in a different context.
889 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
890 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
891 authentication-only ciphersuites.
894 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
896 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
897 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
898 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
899 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
900 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
903 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
904 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
905 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
906 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
907 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
908 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
911 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
912 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
913 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
914 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
915 message has informed the client about his choice.)
918 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
919 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
921 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
922 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
923 Improve header file function name parsing.
926 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
927 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
930 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
932 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
933 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
934 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
936 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
937 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
939 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
940 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
942 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
943 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
944 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
946 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
947 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
948 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
949 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
950 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
951 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
952 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
953 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
954 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
956 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
957 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
958 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
959 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
960 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
962 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
963 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
964 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
965 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
966 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
967 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
968 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
969 multiple values to extend the available space.
973 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
975 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
976 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
978 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
981 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
982 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
983 undesirable limitations.
984 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
986 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
987 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
988 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
989 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
990 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
991 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
992 to avoid potential handshake problems.
995 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
997 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
998 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
999 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1001 The latter two were purportedly from
1002 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1005 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1006 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1007 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1010 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1011 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1014 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1015 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1016 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1017 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1019 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1020 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1021 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1024 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1025 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1026 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1027 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1028 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1029 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1032 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1034 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1035 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1038 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1039 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1041 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1042 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1043 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1044 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1047 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1048 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1051 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1052 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1053 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1054 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1055 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1056 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1057 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1061 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1062 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1063 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1064 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1067 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1068 under VC++ build system.
1071 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1072 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1075 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1077 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1078 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1079 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1080 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1081 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1083 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1084 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1085 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1087 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1090 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1091 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1094 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1095 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1097 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1100 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1101 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1103 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1104 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1107 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1108 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1112 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1114 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1117 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1120 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1121 key into the same file any more.
1124 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1127 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1128 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1130 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1131 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1134 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1135 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1136 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1137 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1138 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1139 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1141 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1142 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1143 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1146 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1147 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1148 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1149 - add new function for parameter creation
1150 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1151 BN_BLINDING parameters
1152 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1153 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1154 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1158 *) Add support for DTLS.
1159 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1161 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1162 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1165 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1166 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1169 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1170 the apps/openssl applications.
1173 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1174 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1175 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1178 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1179 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1181 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1182 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1184 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1185 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1186 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1187 avoid this algorithm.)
1191 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1192 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1193 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1196 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1197 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1200 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1201 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1202 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1205 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1207 The blank line is mandatory.
1211 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1212 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1216 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1217 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1219 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1220 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1221 to support policy checking and print out.
1224 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1225 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1226 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1227 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1229 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1232 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1233 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1235 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1236 implementation contributed by IBM.
1237 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1239 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1240 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1241 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1242 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1244 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1245 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1247 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1248 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1249 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1250 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1251 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1252 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1255 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1256 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1257 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1258 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1259 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1260 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1261 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1264 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1267 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1268 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1269 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1270 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1271 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1272 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1273 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1274 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1277 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1278 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1279 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1280 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1283 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1286 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1289 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1290 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1291 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1292 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1293 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1294 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1295 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1298 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1299 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1302 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1303 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1304 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1307 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1308 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1309 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1313 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1314 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1317 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1318 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1319 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1320 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1323 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1324 initialised value as BN_new().
1325 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1327 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1330 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1331 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1332 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1333 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1334 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1335 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1336 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1337 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1338 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1339 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1340 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1341 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1342 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1343 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1344 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1346 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1347 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1348 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1349 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1352 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1353 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1354 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1355 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1356 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1357 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1358 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1359 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1360 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1363 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1364 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1365 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1366 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1367 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1368 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1369 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1372 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1373 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1374 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1375 these have been updated also.
1378 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1379 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1380 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1381 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1382 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1386 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1387 structure of type "other".
1390 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1391 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1392 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1393 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1394 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1395 situation in the script.
1396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1398 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1399 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1400 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1401 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1402 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1403 used as premaster secret.
1404 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1406 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1407 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1408 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1410 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1411 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1413 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1414 control of the error stack.
1417 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1420 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1421 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1422 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1423 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1426 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1427 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1428 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1431 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1432 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1433 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1437 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1438 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1439 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1440 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1443 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1444 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1445 the following flags are defined:
1447 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1448 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1449 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1452 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1453 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1454 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1455 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1459 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1460 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1461 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1462 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1463 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1466 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1467 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1468 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1471 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1472 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1473 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1474 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1475 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1476 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1479 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1483 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1486 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1489 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1492 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1493 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1494 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1495 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1496 default implementation more easily.
1499 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1503 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1504 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1507 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1508 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1509 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1510 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1512 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1513 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1514 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1515 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1518 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1519 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1523 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1524 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1525 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1526 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1527 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1528 scalar * generator).
1529 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1531 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1532 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1533 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1537 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1538 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1539 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1540 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1541 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1542 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1543 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1544 linker additions, eg;
1545 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1548 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1549 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1550 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1553 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1554 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1555 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1559 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1560 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1561 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1562 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1565 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1566 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1567 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1568 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1569 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1570 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1571 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1572 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1573 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1574 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1576 Example for using the new callback interface:
1578 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1582 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1584 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1585 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1586 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1587 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1588 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1589 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1594 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1595 available to TLS with the number defined in
1596 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1599 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1600 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1602 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1603 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1604 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1605 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1607 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1608 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1610 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1611 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1615 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1616 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1619 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1620 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1621 and a macro that behave like
1622 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1624 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1627 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1628 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1629 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1631 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1633 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1636 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1637 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1638 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1639 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1641 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1642 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1643 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1644 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1645 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1646 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1647 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1648 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1650 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1651 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1654 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1655 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1657 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1658 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1659 files while avoiding the low level API.
1661 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1662 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1663 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1664 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1666 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1667 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1668 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1669 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1670 instead of the low level API.
1673 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1674 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1675 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1676 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1677 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1680 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1681 down to the template encoder.
1684 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1685 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1688 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1689 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1690 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1691 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1693 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1694 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1696 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1697 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1699 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1700 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1703 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1704 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1705 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1708 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1709 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1711 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1712 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1714 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1715 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1718 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1722 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1723 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1724 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1725 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1726 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1727 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1729 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1730 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1733 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1734 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1735 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1736 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1737 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1738 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1739 various internal method names.)
1741 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1742 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1744 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1745 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1747 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1748 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1750 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1751 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1752 methods are undefined.
1754 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1755 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1757 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1758 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1759 length of the modulus.
1761 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1762 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1764 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1765 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1767 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1768 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1770 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1771 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1772 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1775 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1776 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1777 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1778 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1780 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1781 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1782 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1783 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1785 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1786 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1788 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1789 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1790 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1791 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1792 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1794 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1795 This applies to the following functions:
1800 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1801 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1803 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1804 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1808 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1813 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1815 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1816 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1817 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1818 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1819 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1821 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1822 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1824 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1825 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1826 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1828 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1829 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1831 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1832 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1833 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1834 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1835 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1837 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1839 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1840 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1841 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1842 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1843 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1844 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1845 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1846 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1847 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1848 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1849 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1850 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1852 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1855 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1856 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1857 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1858 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1860 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1861 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1862 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1863 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1868 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1869 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1870 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1871 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1872 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1874 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1875 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1876 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1877 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1878 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1879 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1880 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1881 adding different types of curves.
1882 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1884 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1885 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1886 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1889 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1890 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1892 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1893 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1894 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1895 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1897 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1899 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1900 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1902 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1903 library. Most notably,
1904 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1905 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1906 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1907 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1908 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1909 extracted before the specific public key;
1910 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1911 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1913 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1914 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1916 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1917 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1918 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1919 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1921 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1922 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1923 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1925 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1926 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1927 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1928 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1929 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1930 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1934 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1936 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1937 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1938 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1939 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1940 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1941 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1942 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1943 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1944 in a different context.
1947 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1949 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1951 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1953 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1954 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1955 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1958 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1959 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1960 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1963 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1966 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1967 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1970 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1971 run algorithm test programs.
1974 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1977 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1978 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1979 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1980 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1981 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1984 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1985 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1988 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1990 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1991 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1992 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1994 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1995 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1997 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1998 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2000 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2001 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2002 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2004 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2005 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2006 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2007 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2008 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2009 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2010 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2013 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2015 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2016 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2018 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2019 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2020 undesirable limitations.
2021 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2023 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2025 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2026 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2027 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2029 The latter two were purportedly from
2030 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2033 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2034 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2035 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2038 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2039 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2042 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2044 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2045 module in FIPS mode.
2048 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2051 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2052 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2053 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2054 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2057 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2059 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2060 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2061 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2062 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2063 the difference induced by this change.
2066 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2068 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2069 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2070 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2071 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2072 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2074 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2075 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2076 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2078 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2079 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2082 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2083 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2084 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2085 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2089 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2090 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2091 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2092 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2093 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2095 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2096 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2097 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2098 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2099 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2100 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2102 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2104 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2105 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2106 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2107 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2108 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2111 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2115 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2116 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2117 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2120 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2121 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2122 structures constant.
2125 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2127 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2130 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2131 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2132 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2133 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2134 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2135 some needed definitions.
2138 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2141 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2142 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2143 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2144 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2147 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2149 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2150 server and client random values. Previously
2151 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2152 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2154 This change has negligible security impact because:
2156 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2159 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2162 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2163 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2166 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2169 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2171 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2174 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2175 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2176 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2178 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2181 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2182 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2185 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2186 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2187 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2189 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2192 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2193 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2194 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2198 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2199 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2200 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2201 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2203 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2204 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2205 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2206 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2210 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2212 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2213 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2214 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2215 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2216 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2219 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2222 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2223 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2225 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2226 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2227 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2228 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2229 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2230 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2231 rather than being initialized to 1.
2234 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2236 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2237 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2238 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2240 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2242 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2244 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2245 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2246 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2247 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2248 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2249 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2252 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2253 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2254 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2255 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2256 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2260 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2261 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2262 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2263 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2264 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2267 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2268 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2269 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2273 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2274 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2276 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2279 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2281 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2283 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2284 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2286 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2288 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2289 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2293 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2294 exiting on the first error in a request.
2297 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2298 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2302 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2303 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2304 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2305 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2307 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2308 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2311 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2312 blocks during encryption.
2315 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2316 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2317 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2318 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2322 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2323 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2324 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2325 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2326 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2330 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2332 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2333 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2334 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2335 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2338 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2339 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2340 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2341 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2342 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2344 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2345 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2346 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2347 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2348 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2349 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2350 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2351 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2352 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2355 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2356 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2357 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2358 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2361 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2362 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2365 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2367 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2368 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2369 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2370 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2371 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2373 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2374 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2375 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2377 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2378 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2379 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2380 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2381 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2383 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2384 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2385 used by default when no-err is given.
2388 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2389 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2391 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2392 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2393 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2394 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2395 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2397 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2398 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2399 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2400 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2402 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2404 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2406 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2408 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2409 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2410 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2411 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2415 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2416 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2418 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2419 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2422 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2423 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2424 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2425 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2428 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2429 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2430 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2431 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2432 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2433 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2434 followup to PR #377.
2437 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2438 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2441 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2442 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2443 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2451 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2452 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2453 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

2465 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2466 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2467 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2468 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2469 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2470 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2472 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2473 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2474 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2475 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2476 have to be made anyway).
2479 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2480 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2481 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2484 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2485 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2486 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2489 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2490 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2491 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

2494 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2495 edit numbers of the version.
2496 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2498 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2499 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).

2502 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.

2587 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

2594 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2595 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

2600 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2601 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2602 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2603 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2605 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2606 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2607 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2609 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2610 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2611 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2612 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2614 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2615 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2616 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2619 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2620 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2621 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2622 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2623 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2624 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2625 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2626 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2629 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2630 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2631 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2634 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2635 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2636 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2637 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2638 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2640 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2641 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2643 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2644 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2647 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2648 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2649 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2650 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2651 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2652 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2655 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2656 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2657 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2660 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2661 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2664 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2665 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2666 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2667 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2668 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2669 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2670 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2673 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2674 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2675 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2676 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2677 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2678 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2681 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2682 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2683 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2684 declaration has been changed from
2687 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2688 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2689 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2690 has been changed into
2691 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2693 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2694 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2695 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2697 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2698 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2700 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2701 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2702 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2703 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2704 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2705 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2706 always load it have also been added.
2709 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2710 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2711 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2713 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2715 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2716 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2717 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2719 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2720 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2721 command line option can be used to specify an
2725 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2726 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2729 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2730 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2731 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2734 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2735 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2736 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2737 to work with the new engine framework.
2738 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2740 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2741 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2742 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2743 to work with the new engine framework.
2746 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2747 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2748 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2750 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2751 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2753 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2754 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2755 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2756 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2758 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2760 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2761 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2763 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2764 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2766 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2767 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2768 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2771 *) Add new functions
2773 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2774 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2775 These are similar to
2778 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2779 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2780 still in the error queue.
2781 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2783 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2785 default_algorithms = ALL
2786 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2789 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2792 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2795 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2796 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2797 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2798 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2800 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2801 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2803 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2804 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2806 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2807 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2810 *) New functions/macros
2812 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2813 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2814 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2815 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2817 to request calling a callback function
2819 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2820 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2822 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2823 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2824 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2825 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2826 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2827 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2828 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2829 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2830 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2831 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2833 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2834 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2837 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2838 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2839 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2840 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2841 the configuration scripts.
2843 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2844 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2845 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2847 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2848 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2850 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2851 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2852 when reusing an existing buffer.
2855 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2856 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2859 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2860 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2863 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2864 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2865 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2866 has the same effect.
2867 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2869 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2870 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2871 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2872 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2873 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2874 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2877 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2878 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2879 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2880 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2882 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2883 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2884 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2885 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2887 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2888 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2891 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2892 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2893 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2894 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2895 default), and then completely removed.
2898 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2899 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2900 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2901 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2902 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2903 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2904 particular extension is supported.
2907 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2908 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2911 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2912 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2913 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2914 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2915 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2916 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2917 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2918 requires the destination to be valid.
2920 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2921 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2924 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2925 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2926 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2929 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2930 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2932 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2933 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2934 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2935 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2936 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2937 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2938 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2939 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2940 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2941 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2942 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2943 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2944 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2945 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2946 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2947 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2948 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2949 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2950 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2954 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2957 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2958 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2959 become part of libeay.num as well.
2962 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2963 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2964 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2965 false once a handshake has been completed.
2966 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2967 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2968 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2969 client has followed the request.)
2972 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2973 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2974 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2975 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2977 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2978 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2979 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2982 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2985 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2986 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2987 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2990 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2991 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2994 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2995 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2996 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2997 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3000 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3001 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3002 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3003 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3004 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3005 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3008 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3009 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3010 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3011 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3012 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3013 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3014 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3015 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3018 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3019 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3022 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3025 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3026 md_data void pointer.
3029 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3030 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3031 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3032 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3033 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3034 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3037 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3038 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3039 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3040 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3041 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3042 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3043 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3044 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3045 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3046 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3047 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3048 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3049 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3050 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3051 rather than letting it slide.
3053 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3054 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3055 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3058 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3059 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3060 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3061 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3062 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3063 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3064 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3065 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3066 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3069 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3070 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3071 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3072 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3073 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3075 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3078 *) Add EVP test program.
3081 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3084 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3085 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3086 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3087 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3088 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3091 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3092 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3093 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3094 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3095 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3096 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3097 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3099 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3100 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3101 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3106 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3107 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3108 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3109 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3110 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3114 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3115 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3116 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3117 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3120 des_key_schedule ks;
3122 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3123 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3125 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3128 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3129 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3130 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3131 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3132 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3133 functions prevents this.
3136 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3139 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3140 correct _ecb suffix.
3143 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3144 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3145 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3146 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3147 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3150 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3153 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3154 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3155 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3156 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3158 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3159 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3161 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3162 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3163 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3164 via Richard Levitte]
3166 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3167 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3168 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3169 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3172 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3175 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3176 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
3177 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

3187 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
3190 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3191 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3193 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3194 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3195 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3196 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3197 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3198 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3201 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3202 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3205 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3206 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3207 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3208 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3210 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3211 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3212 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3213 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3214 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3215 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3219 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3220 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3221 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3222 and interrupts/cancellations.
3225 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3226 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3229 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3230 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3231 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3233 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3234 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3238 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3239 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3240 than this minimum value is recommended.
3243 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3244 that are easily reachable.
3247 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3248 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3250 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3252 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3253 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3254 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3255 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3258 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3259 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3260 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3263 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3264 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3265 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3266 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3267 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3268 internally such as S/MIME.
3270 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3271 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3272 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3274 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3278 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3279 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3280 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3281 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3283 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3285 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3287 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3288 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3289 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3293 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3294 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3295 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3296 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3297 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3298 a window system and the like.
3301 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3302 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3305 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3306 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3307 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3308 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3309 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3310 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3311 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3312 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3313 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3317 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3318 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3322 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3323 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3324 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3325 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3326 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3327 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3328 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3329 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3332 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3333 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3334 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3335 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3336 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3337 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3338 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3339 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3340 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3341 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3342 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3343 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3344 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3345 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3346 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3347 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3348 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3351 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3352 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3353 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3354 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3355 internal engine_int.h header.
3358 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3359 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3360 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3361 modify their own ones).
3364 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3365 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3366 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3367 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3368 later on via ctrl() commands.
3369 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3370 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3371 structural references.
3372 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3373 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3374 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3375 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3376 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3377 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3378 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3379 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3380 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3381 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3382 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3383 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3386 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3387 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3388 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3389 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3390 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3391 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3392 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3393 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3396 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3397 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3400 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3401 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3404 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3405 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3406 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3407 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3408 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3409 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3410 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3413 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3414 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3415 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3416 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3417 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3419 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3420 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3424 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3426 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3427 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3428 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3430 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3431 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3433 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3434 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3435 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3437 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3438 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3440 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3441 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3443 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3445 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3446 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3447 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3450 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3451 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3454 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3455 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3456 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3457 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3458 is 40 of more characters long.
3461 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3462 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3466 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3467 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3470 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3471 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3475 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3477 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3478 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3481 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3483 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3484 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3485 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3487 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3488 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3490 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3493 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3497 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3498 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3499 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3500 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3502 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3504 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3505 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3507 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3508 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3509 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3510 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3511 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3512 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3514 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3515 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3517 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3518 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3520 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3521 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3523 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3524 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3525 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3526 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3528 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3529 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3531 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3532 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3534 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3535 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3536 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3537 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3538 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3541 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3542 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3543 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3544 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3547 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3548 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3549 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3553 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3554 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3555 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3556 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3557 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3558 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3559 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3560 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3564 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3565 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3568 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3569 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3570 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3571 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3574 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3575 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3576 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3577 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3578 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3579 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3580 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3581 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3582 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3583 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3586 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3587 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3588 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3589 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3590 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3591 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3592 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3593 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3595 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3596 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3597 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3598 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3601 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3602 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3603 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3604 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3606 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3607 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3608 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3609 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3610 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3614 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3615 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3616 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3617 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3621 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3622 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3623 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3626 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3627 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3628 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3629 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3630 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3633 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3636 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3637 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3638 option to ocsp utility.
3641 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3642 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3643 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3644 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3645 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3646 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3647 the request is nonce-less.
3650 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3651 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3652 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3655 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3656 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3657 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3660 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3661 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3662 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3663 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3664 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3667 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3668 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3672 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3673 additional certificates supplied.
3676 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3677 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3681 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3682 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3685 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3686 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3687 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3688 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3689 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3690 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3691 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3692 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3693 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3695 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3696 request to response.
3699 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3700 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3701 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3702 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3703 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3704 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3705 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3706 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3707 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3708 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3709 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3712 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3713 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3714 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3715 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3718 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3719 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3721 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3722 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3723 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3726 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3727 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3728 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3729 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3730 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3732 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3733 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3734 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3737 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3738 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3739 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3740 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3741 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3742 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3743 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3744 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3746 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3747 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3748 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3749 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3750 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3751 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3754 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3755 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3756 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3757 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3758 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3759 printout format cleaned up.
3762 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3763 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3764 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3765 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3766 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3767 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3768 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3769 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3772 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3773 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3774 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3775 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3776 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3777 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3778 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3779 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3782 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3783 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3784 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3785 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3787 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3789 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3790 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3791 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3792 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3795 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3796 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3797 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3798 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3800 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3802 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3803 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3804 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3805 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3807 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3808 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3810 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3811 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3812 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3815 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3816 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3817 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3820 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3821 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3822 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3823 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3824 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3825 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3826 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3827 functions are provided:
3829 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3830 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3831 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3832 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3834 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3835 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3836 extended allocation function is enabled.
3837 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3838 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3839 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3841 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3842 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3843 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3844 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3845 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3848 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3849 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3850 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3852 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3853 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3854 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3857 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3858 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3859 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3860 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3861 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3862 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3863 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3864 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3865 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3868 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3869 provide utility functions which an application needing
3870 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3871 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3872 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3874 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3875 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3876 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3877 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3878 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3879 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3880 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3881 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3882 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3884 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3885 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3886 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3887 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3890 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3891 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3892 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3893 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3894 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3895 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3896 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3897 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3898 will be added elsewhere.
3901 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3902 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3903 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3904 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3907 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3908 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3909 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3910 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3911 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3912 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3913 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3914 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3915 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3916 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3917 to produce the required SET OF.
3920 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3921 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3922 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3925 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3926 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3927 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3928 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3929 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3930 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3933 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3934 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3935 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3938 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3939 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3940 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3943 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3944 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3945 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3946 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3947 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3950 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3951 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3954 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3955 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3956 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3957 certifcates and CRLs.
3960 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3961 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3962 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3965 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3966 entries for variables.
3969 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3970 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3971 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3972 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3975 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3976 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3977 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3978 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3979 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3980 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3983 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3984 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3986 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3987 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3988 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3991 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3995 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3996 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3997 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3998 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3999 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4000 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4003 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4006 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4007 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4008 for now but they will eventually go away.
4011 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4012 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4013 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4014 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4015 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4016 has also been converted to the new form.
4019 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4020 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4021 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4022 for negative moduli.
4025 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4026 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4029 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4033 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4034 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4035 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4036 type-specific callbacks.
4039 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4041 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4042 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4044 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4045 in sections depending on the subject.
4048 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4052 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4053 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4054 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4055 be handled deterministically).
4056 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4058 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4059 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4060 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4063 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4066 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4067 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4068 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4069 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4070 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4073 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4074 sign of the number in question.
4076 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4078 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4079 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4080 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4081 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4082 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4085 *) New function BN_swap.
4088 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4089 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4090 results on negative inputs.
4093 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4094 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4095 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4098 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4099 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4100 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4101 and add new functions:
4110 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4114 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4116 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4117 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4119 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4120 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4121 be reduced modulo m.

4125 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4126 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4127 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4129 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4130 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4131 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4132 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4133 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4134 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4139 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4140 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4141 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4142 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4143 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4145 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4146 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4147 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4151 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4154 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4155 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4158 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4159 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4160 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4161 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4165 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4168 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4171 *) Add the following functions:
4173 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4175 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4177 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4179 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4180 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4181 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4182 libraries unless it's really needed.
4184 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4185 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4186 declarations (they differed!).
4189 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4192 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4195 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4198 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4199 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4202 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4203 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4204 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4206 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4207 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4210 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4213 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4216 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4219 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4220 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4221 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4223 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4224 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4225 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4226 different shared library filenames on each system.
4229 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
