5 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
8 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
11 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
12 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
13 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
17 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
18 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
19 to free up any added signature OIDs.
22 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
23 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
24 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
25 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
28 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
29 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
30 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
31 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
32 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
33 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
34 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
35 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
37 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
38 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
39 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
41 we now have additional functions
43 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
44 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
45 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
47 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
48 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
52 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
53 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
54 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
55 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
56 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
57 the array representation useful in a more general context.
60 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
61 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
62 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
63 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
64 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
66 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
67 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
68 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
69 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
70 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
73 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
74 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
75 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
76 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
78 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
79 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
80 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
81 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
82 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
88 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
89 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
93 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
94 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
97 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
98 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
101 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
102 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
103 functional reference processing.
106 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
107 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
111 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
112 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
113 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
116 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
117 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
118 application to support multiple signers.
121 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
125 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
126 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
127 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
128 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
129 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
132 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
136 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
137 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
138 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
139 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
143 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
144 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
145 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
146 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
147 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
148 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
149 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
150 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
153 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
154 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
155 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
156 between digests and public key types.
159 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
160 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
161 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
162 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
165 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
166 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
170 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
173 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
177 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
178 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
179 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
180 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
185 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
187 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
189 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
191 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
192 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
193 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
194 functionality for RSA.
197 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
198 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
199 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
202 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
203 key API, doesn't do much yet.
206 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
207 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
208 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
211 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
212 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
215 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
216 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
219 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
220 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
224 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
225 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
226 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
230 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
231 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
232 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
233 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
234 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
235 of public and private key structures.
238 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
239 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
242 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
243 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
244 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
247 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
251 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
252 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
254 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
256 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
258 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
259 and response verification functionality.
260 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
262 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
263 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
264 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
265 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
266 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
267 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
268 server_name extension.
270 New functions (subject to change):
273 SSL_get_servername_type()
276 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
278 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
279 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
280 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
281 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
282 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
284 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
286 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
287 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
288 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
289 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
290 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
291 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
294 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
296 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
299 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
300 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
301 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
302 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
303 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
306 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
307 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
311 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
312 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
313 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
314 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
317 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
318 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
319 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
320 using the maximum available value.
323 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
324 in addition to the text details.
327 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
328 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
329 handle several customised structures at all.
332 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
333 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
334 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
337 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
340 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
341 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
342 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
345 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
346 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
347 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
350 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
351 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
355 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
358 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
361 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
363 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
364 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
365 undesirable limitations.
366 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
368 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
369 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
370 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
371 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
372 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
373 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
374 to avoid potential handshake problems.
377 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
379 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
380 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
381 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
383 The latter two were purportedly from
384 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
387 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
388 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
389 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
392 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
393 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
396 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
397 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
398 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
399 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
401 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
402 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
403 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
406 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
407 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
408 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
409 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
410 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
411 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
414 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
416 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
417 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
420 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
421 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
423 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
424 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
425 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
426 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
429 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
430 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
433 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
434 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
435 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
436 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
437 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
438 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
439 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
443 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
444 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
445 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
446 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
449 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
450 under VC++ build system.
453 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
454 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
457 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
459 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
460 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
461 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
462 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
463 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
465 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
466 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
467 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
469 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
472 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
473 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
476 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
477 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
479 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
482 *) Extended Windows CE support.
483 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
485 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
486 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
489 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
490 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
494 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
496 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
499 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
502 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
503 key into the same file any more.
506 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
509 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
510 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
512 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
513 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
516 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
517 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
518 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
519 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
520 this only applies when building 'shared'.
521 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
523 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
524 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
525 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
528 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
529 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
530 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
531 - add new function for parameter creation
532 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
533 BN_BLINDING parameters
534 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
535 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
536 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
540 *) Add support for DTLS.
541 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
543 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
544 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
547 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
548 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
551 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
552 the apps/openssl applications.
555 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
556 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
557 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
560 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
561 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
563 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
564 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
566 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
567 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
568 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
569 avoid this algorithm.)
573 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
574 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
575 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
578 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
579 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
582 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
583 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
584 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
587 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
589 The blank line is mandatory.
593 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
594 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
598 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
599 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
601 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
602 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
603 to support policy checking and print out.
606 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
607 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
608 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
609 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
611 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
614 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
615 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
617 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
618 implementation contributed by IBM.
619 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
621 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
622 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
623 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
624 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
626 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
627 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
629 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
630 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
631 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
632 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
633 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
634 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
637 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
638 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
639 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
640 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
641 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
642 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
643 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
646 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
649 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
650 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
651 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
652 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
653 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
654 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
655 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
656 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
659 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
660 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
661 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
662 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
665 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
668 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
671 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
672 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
673 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
674 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
675 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
676 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
680 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
681 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
684 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
685 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
686 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
689 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
690 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
691 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
695 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
696 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
699 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
700 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
701 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
702 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
705 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
706 initialised value as BN_new().
707 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
709 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
712 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
713 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
714 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
715 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
716 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
717 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
718 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
719 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
720 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
721 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
722 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
723 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
724 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
725 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
726 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
728 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
729 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
730 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
731 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
734 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
735 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
736 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
737 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
738 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
739 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
740 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
741 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
742 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
745 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
746 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
747 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
748 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
749 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
750 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
751 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
754 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
755 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
756 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
757 these have been updated also.
760 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
761 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
762 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
763 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
764 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
768 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
769 structure of type "other".
772 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
773 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
774 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
775 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
776 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
777 situation in the script.
778 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
780 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
781 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
782 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
783 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
784 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
785 used as premaster secret.
786 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
788 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
789 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
790 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
792 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
793 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
795 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
796 control of the error stack.
799 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
802 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
803 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
804 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
805 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
808 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
809 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
810 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
813 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
814 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
815 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
819 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
820 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
821 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
822 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
825 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
826 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
827 the following flags are defined:
829 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
830 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
831 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
834 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
835 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
836 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
837 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
841 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
842 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
843 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
844 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
845 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
848 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
849 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
850 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
853 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
854 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
855 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
856 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
857 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
858 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
861 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
865 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
868 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
871 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
874 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
875 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
876 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
877 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
878 default implementation more easily.
881 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
885 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
886 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
889 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
890 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
891 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
892 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
894 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
895 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
896 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
900 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
901 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
905 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
906 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
907 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
908 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
909 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
911 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
913 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
914 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
915 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
919 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
920 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
921 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
922 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
923 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
924 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
925 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
926 linker additions, eg;
927 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
930 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
931 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
932 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
935 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
936 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
937 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
941 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
942 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
943 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
944 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
947 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
948 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
949 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
950 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
951 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
952 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
953 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
954 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
955 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
956 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
958 Example for using the new callback interface:
960 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
964 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
966 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
967 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
968 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
969 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
970 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
971 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
976 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
977 available to TLS with the number defined in
978 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
981 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
982 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
984 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
985 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
986 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
987 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
989 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
990 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
992 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
993 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
997 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
998 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1001 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1002 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1003 and a macro that behave like
1004 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1006 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1009 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1010 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1011 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1013 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1015 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1018 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1019 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1020 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1021 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1023 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1024 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1025 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1026 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1027 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1028 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1029 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1030 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1032 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1033 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1036 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1037 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1039 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1040 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1041 files while avoiding the low level API.
1043 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1044 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1045 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1046 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1048 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1049 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1050 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1051 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1052 instead of the low level API.
1055 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1056 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1057 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1058 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1059 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1062 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1063 down to the template encoder.
1066 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1067 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1070 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1071 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1072 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1073 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1075 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1076 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1078 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1079 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1081 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1082 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1085 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1086 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1087 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1090 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1091 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1093 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1094 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1096 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1097 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1100 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1104 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1105 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1106 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1107 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1108 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1109 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1111 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1112 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1115 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1116 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1117 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1118 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1119 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1120 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1121 various internal method names.)
1123 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1124 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1126 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1127 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1129 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1130 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1132 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1133 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1134 methods are undefined.
1136 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1137 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1139 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1140 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1141 length of the modulus.
1143 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1144 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1146 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1147 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1149 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1150 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1152 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1153 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1154 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1157 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1158 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1159 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1160 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1162 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1163 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1164 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1165 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1167 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1168 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1170 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1171 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1172 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1173 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1174 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1176 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1177 This applies to the following functions:
1182 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1183 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1185 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1186 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1190 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1195 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1197 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1198 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1199 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1200 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1201 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1203 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1204 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1206 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1207 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1208 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1210 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1211 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1213 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1214 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1215 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1216 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1217 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1219 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1221 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1222 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1223 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1224 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1225 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1226 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1227 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1228 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1229 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1230 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1231 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1232 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1234 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1237 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1238 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1239 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1240 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1242 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1243 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1244 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1245 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1250 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1251 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1252 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1253 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1254 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1256 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1257 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1258 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1259 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1260 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1261 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1262 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1263 adding different types of curves.
1264 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1266 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1267 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1268 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1271 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1272 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1274 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1275 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1276 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1277 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1279 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1281 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1282 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1284 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1285 library. Most notably,
1286 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1287 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1288 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1289 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1290 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1291 extracted before the specific public key;
1292 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1293 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1295 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1296 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1298 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1299 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1300 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1301 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be

1305 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1307 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1308 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1309 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1310 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1311 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1312 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with

1318 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1319 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1320 undesirable limitations.
1321 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1323 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1325 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1326 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1327 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1329 The latter two were purportedly from
1330 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1333 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1334 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1335 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1338 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1339 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1342 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1344 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1345 module in FIPS mode.
1348 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1351 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1352 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1353 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1354 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1357 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1359 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1360 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1361 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1362 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1363 the difference induced by this change.
1366 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1368 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1369 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1370 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1371 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1372 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1374 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1375 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1376 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1378 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1379 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1382 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1383 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1384 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1385 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1389 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1390 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1391 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1392 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1393 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1395 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1396 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1397 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1398 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1399 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1400 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1402 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1404 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1405 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1406 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1407 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1408 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1411 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1415 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1416 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1417 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1420 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1421 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1422 structures constant.
1425 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1427 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1430 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1431 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1432 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1433 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1434 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1435 some needed definitions.
1438 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1441 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1442 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1443 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1444 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1447 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1449 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1450 server and client random values. Previously
1451 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1452 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1454 This change has negligible security impact because:
1456 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1459 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1462 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1463 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1466 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1469 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1471 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1474 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1475 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1476 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1478 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1481 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1482 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1485 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1486 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1487 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1489 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1492 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1493 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1494 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1498 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1499 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1500 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1501 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1503 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1504 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1505 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1506 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1510 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1512 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1513 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1514 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1515 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1516 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1519 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1522 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1523 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1525 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1526 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1527 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1528 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1529 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1530 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1531 rather than being initialized to 1.
1534 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1536 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1537 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1538 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1540 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1542 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1544 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1545 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1546 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1547 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1548 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1549 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1552 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1553 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1554 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1555 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1556 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1560 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1561 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1562 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1563 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1564 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1567 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1568 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1569 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL

1581 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1583 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1584 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1586 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1588 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1589 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1593 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1594 exiting on the first error in a request.
1597 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1598 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1602 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1603 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1604 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1605 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1607 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1608 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1611 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1612 blocks during encryption.
1615 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1616 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1617 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1618 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1622 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1623 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1624 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1625 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1626 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1630 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1632 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1633 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1634 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1635 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1638 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1639 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1640 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1641 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1642 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1644 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1645 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1646 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1647 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1648 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1649 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1650 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1651 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1652 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1655 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1656 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1657 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1658 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1661 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1662 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1665 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1667 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1668 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1669 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1670 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1671 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)

1674 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1675 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1677 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1678 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1679 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1680 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1681 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1683 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1684 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1685 used by default when no-err is given.
1688 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1689 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1691 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1692 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1693 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1694 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1695 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1697 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1698 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1699 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1700 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1702 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1704 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1706 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1708 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1709 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1710 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1711 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1715 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1716 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1718 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1719 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1722 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1723 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1724 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1725 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1728 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1729 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1730 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1731 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1732 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1733 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1734 followup to PR #377.
1737 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1738 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1741 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1742 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1743 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

1873 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1875 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1876 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1878 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1879 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1881 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1883 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1884 the 0.9.6 release series:
1886 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1887 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1889 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1891 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1894 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1895 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1897 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1898 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1900 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1901 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1902 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1903 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1905 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1906 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1907 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1909 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1910 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1911 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1912 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1914 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1915 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1916 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1919 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1920 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1921 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1922 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1923 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1924 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1925 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1926 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1929 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1930 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1931 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1934 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1935 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1936 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1937 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1938 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1940 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1941 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1943 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1944 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1947 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1948 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1949 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1950 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1951 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1952 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1955 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1956 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1957 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1960 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1961 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1964 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1965 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1966 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1967 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1968 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1969 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1970 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1973 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1974 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1975 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1976 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1977 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1978 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1981 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1982 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1983 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1984 declaration has been changed from
1987 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1988 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1989 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1990 has been changed into
1991 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1993 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1994 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1995 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1997 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1998 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2000 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2001 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2002 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2003 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2004 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2005 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2006 always load it have also been added.
2009 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2010 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2011 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2013 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2015 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2016 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2017 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2019 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2020 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2021 command line option can be used to specify an
2025 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2026 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2029 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2030 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2031 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2034 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2035 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2036 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2037 to work with the new engine framework.
2038 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2040 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2041 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2042 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2043 to work with the new engine framework.
2046 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2047 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2048 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2050 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2051 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2053 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2054 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2055 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2056 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2058 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2060 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2061 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2063 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2064 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2066 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2067 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2068 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2071 *) Add new functions
2073 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2074 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2075 These are similar to
2078 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2079 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2080 still in the error queue.
2081 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2083 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2085 default_algorithms = ALL
2086 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2089 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2092 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2095 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2096 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2097 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2098 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2100 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2101 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2103 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2104 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2106 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2107 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2110 *) New functions/macros
2112 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2113 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2114 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2115 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2117 to request calling a callback function
2119 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2120 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2122 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2123 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2124 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2125 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2126 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2127 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2128 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2129 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2130 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2131 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2133 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2134 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2137 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2138 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2139 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2140 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2141 the configuration scripts.
2143 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2144 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2145 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2147 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2148 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2150 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2151 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2152 when reusing an existing buffer.
2155 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2156 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2159 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2160 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2163 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2164 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2165 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2166 has the same effect.
2167 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2169 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2170 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2171 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2172 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2173 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2174 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2177 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2178 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2179 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2180 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2182 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2183 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2184 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2185 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2187 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2188 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2191 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2192 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2193 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2194 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2195 default), and then completely removed.
2198 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2199 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2200 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2201 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2202 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2203 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2204 particular extension is supported.
2207 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2208 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2211 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2212 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2213 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2214 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2215 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2216 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2217 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2218 requires the destination to be valid.
2220 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2221 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2224 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2225 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2226 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2229 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2230 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2232 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2233 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2234 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2235 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2236 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2237 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2238 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2239 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2240 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2241 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2242 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2243 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2244 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2245 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2246 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2247 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2248 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2249 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2250 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2254 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2257 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2258 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2259 become part of libeay.num as well.
2262 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2263 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2264 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2265 false once a handshake has been completed.
2266 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2267 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2268 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2269 client has followed the request.)
2272 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2273 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2274 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2275 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2277 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2278 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2279 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2282 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2285 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2286 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2287 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2290 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2291 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2294 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2295 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2296 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2297 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2300 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2301 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2302 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2303 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2304 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2305 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2308 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2309 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2310 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2311 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2312 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2313 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2314 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2315 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2318 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2319 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2322 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2325 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2326 md_data void pointer.
2329 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2330 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2331 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2332 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2333 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2334 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2337 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2338 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2339 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2340 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2341 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2342 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2343 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2344 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2345 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2346 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2347 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2348 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2349 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2350 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2351 rather than letting it slide.
2353 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2354 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2355 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2358 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2359 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2360 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2361 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2362 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2363 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2364 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2365 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2366 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2369 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2370 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2371 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2372 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2373 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2375 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2378 *) Add EVP test program.
2381 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2384 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2385 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2386 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2387 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2388 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2391 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2392 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2393 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2394 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2395 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2396 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2397 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2399 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2400 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2401 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2406 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2407 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2408 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2409 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2410 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2414 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2415 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2416 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2417 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2420 des_key_schedule ks;
2422 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2423 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2425 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2428 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2429 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2430 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2431 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2432 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2433 functions prevents this.
2436 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2439 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2440 correct _ecb suffix.
2443 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2444 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2445 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2446 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2447 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2450 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2453 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2454 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2455 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2456 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2458 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2459 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2461 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2462 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2463 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2464 via Richard Levitte]
2466 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2467 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2468 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2469 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2472 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2475 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

2490 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2491 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2493 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2494 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2495 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2496 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2497 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2498 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2501 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2502 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2505 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2506 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2507 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2508 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2510 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2511 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2512 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2513 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2514 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2515 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2519 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2520 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2521 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2522 and interrupts/cancellations.
2525 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2526 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2529 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2530 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2531 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2533 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2534 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2538 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2539 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2540 than this minimum value is recommended.
2543 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2544 that are easily reachable.
2547 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2548 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2550 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2552 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2553 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2554 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2555 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2558 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2559 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2560 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2563 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2564 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2565 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2566 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2567 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2568 internally such as S/MIME.
2570 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2571 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2572 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2574 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2578 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2579 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2580 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2581 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2583 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2585 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2587 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2588 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2589 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2593 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2594 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2595 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2596 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2597 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2598 a window system and the like.
2601 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2602 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2605 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2606 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2607 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2608 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2609 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2610 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2611 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2612 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2613 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2617 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2618 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2622 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2623 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2624 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2625 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2626 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2627 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2628 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2629 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2632 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2633 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2634 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2635 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2636 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2637 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2638 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2639 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2640 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2641 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2642 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2643 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2644 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2645 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2646 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2647 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2648 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2651 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2652 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2653 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2654 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2655 internal engine_int.h header.
2658 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2659 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2660 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2661 modify their own ones).
2664 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2665 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2666 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2667 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2668 later on via ctrl() commands.
2669 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2670 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2671 structural references.
2672 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2673 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2674 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2675 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2676 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2677 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2678 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2679 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2680 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2681 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2682 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2683 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2686 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2687 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2688 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2689 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2690 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2691 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2692 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2693 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2696 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2697 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2700 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2701 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2704 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2705 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2706 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2707 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2708 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2709 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2710 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2713 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2714 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2715 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2716 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2717 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2719 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2720 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2724 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2726 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2727 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2728 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2730 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2731 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2733 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2734 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2735 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2737 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2738 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2740 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2741 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2743 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2745 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2746 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2747 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2750 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2751 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2754 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2755 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2756 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2757 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2758 is 40 of more characters long.
2761 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2762 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2766 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2767 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2770 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2771 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2775 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2777 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2778 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2781 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2783 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2784 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2785 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2787 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2788 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2790 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2793 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2797 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2798 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2799 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2800 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2802 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2804 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2805 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2807 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2808 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2809 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2810 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2811 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2812 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2814 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2815 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2817 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2818 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2820 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2821 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2823 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2824 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2825 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2826 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2828 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2829 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2831 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2832 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2834 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2835 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2836 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2837 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2838 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2841 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2842 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2843 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2844 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2847 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2848 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2849 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2853 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2854 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2855 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2856 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2857 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2858 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2859 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2860 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2864 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2865 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2868 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2869 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2870 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2871 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2874 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2875 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2876 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2877 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2878 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2879 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2880 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2881 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2882 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2883 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2886 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2887 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2888 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2889 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2890 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2891 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2892 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2893 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2895 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2896 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2897 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2898 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2901 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2902 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2903 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2904 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2906 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2907 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2908 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2909 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2910 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2914 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2915 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2916 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2917 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2921 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2922 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2923 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2926 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2927 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2928 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2929 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2930 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2933 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2936 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2937 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2938 option to ocsp utility.
2941 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2942 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2943 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2944 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2945 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2946 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2947 the request is nonce-less.
2950 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2951 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2952 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2955 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2956 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2957 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2960 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2961 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2962 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2963 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2964 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2967 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2968 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2972 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2973 additional certificates supplied.
2976 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2977 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2981 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2982 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2985 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2986 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2987 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2988 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2989 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2990 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2991 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2992 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2993 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2995 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2996 request to response.
2999 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3000 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3001 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3002 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3003 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3004 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3005 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3006 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3007 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3008 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3009 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3012 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3013 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3014 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3015 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3018 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3019 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3021 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3022 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3023 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3026 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3027 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3028 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3029 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3030 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3032 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3033 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3034 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3037 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3038 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3039 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3040 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3041 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3042 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3043 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3044 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3046 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3047 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3048 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3049 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3050 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3051 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3054 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3055 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3056 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3057 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3058 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3059 printout format cleaned up.
3062 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3063 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3064 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3065 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3066 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3067 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3068 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3069 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3072 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3073 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3074 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3075 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3076 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3077 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3078 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3079 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3082 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3083 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3084 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3085 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3087 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3089 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3090 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3091 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3092 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3095 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3096 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3097 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3098 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3100 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3102 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3103 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3104 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3105 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3107 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3108 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3110 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3111 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3112 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3115 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3116 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3117 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3120 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3121 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3122 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3123 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3124 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3125 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3126 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3127 functions are provided:
3129 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3130 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3131 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3132 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3134 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3135 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3136 extended allocation function is enabled.
3137 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3138 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3139 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3141 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3142 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3143 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3144 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3145 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3148 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3149 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3150 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3152 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3153 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3154 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3157 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3158 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3159 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3160 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3161 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3162 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3163 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3164 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3165 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3168 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3169 provide utility functions which an application needing
3170 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3171 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3172 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3174 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3175 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3176 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3177 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3178 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3179 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3180 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3181 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3182 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3184 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3185 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3186 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3187 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3190 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3191 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3192 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3193 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3194 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3195 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3196 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3197 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3198 will be added elsewhere.
3201 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3202 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3203 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3204 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3207 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3208 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3209 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3210 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3211 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3212 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3213 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3214 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3215 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3216 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3217 to produce the required SET OF.
3220 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3221 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3222 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3225 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3226 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3227 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3228 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3229 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3230 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3233 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3234 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3235 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3238 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3239 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3240 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3243 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3244 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3245 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3246 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3247 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3250 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3251 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3254 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3255 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3256 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3257 certifcates and CRLs.
3260 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3261 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3262 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3265 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3266 entries for variables.
3269 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3270 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3271 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3272 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3275 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3276 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3277 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3278 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3279 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3280 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3283 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3284 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3286 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3287 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3288 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3291 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3295 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3296 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3297 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3298 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3299 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3300 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3303 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3306 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3307 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3308 for now but they will eventually go away.
3311 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3312 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3313 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3314 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3315 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3316 has also been converted to the new form.
3319 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3320 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3321 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3322 for negative moduli.
3325 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3326 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3329 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3333 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3334 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3335 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3336 type-specific callbacks.
3339 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3341 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3342 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3344 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3345 in sections depending on the subject.
3348 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3352 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3353 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3354 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3355 be handled deterministically).
3356 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3358 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3359 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3360 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3363 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3366 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3367 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3368 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3369 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3370 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3373 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3374 sign of the number in question.
3376 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3378 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3379 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3380 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3381 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3382 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3385 *) New function BN_swap.
3388 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3389 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3390 results on negative inputs.
3393 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3394 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3395 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3398 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3399 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3400 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3401 and add new functions:
3410 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3414 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3416 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3417 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3419 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3420 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3421 be reduced modulo m.
3422 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3425 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3426 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3427 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3429 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3430 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3431 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3432 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3433 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3434 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3439 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3440 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3441 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3442 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3443 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3445 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3446 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3447 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3451 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3454 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3455 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3458 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3459 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3460 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3461 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3465 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3468 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3471 *) Add the following functions:
3473 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3475 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3477 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3479 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3480 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3481 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3482 libraries unless it's really needed.
3484 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3485 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3486 declarations (they differed!).
3489 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3492 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3495 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3498 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3499 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3502 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3503 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3504 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3506 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3507 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3510 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3513 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3516 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3519 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3520 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3521 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3523 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3524 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3525 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3526 different shared library filenames on each system.
3529 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3532 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3533 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3534 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3536 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3539 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3540 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3541 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3542 binary backward compatibility.
3543 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3544 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3545 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3549 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3550 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3551 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3552 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3556 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3559 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3560 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3561 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3562 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3566 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3569 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3571 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3572 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3573 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3575 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
