4 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
6 *) New function BN_kronecker.
9 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
10 positive unless both parameters are zero.
11 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
12 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
13 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
16 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
17 sign of the number in question.
19 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
21 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
22 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
23 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
24 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
25 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
28 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of an RSA structure prior to calling the
29 method-specific "init()" handler, and clean up ex_data after calling
30 the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was happening
34 *) New function BN_swap.
37 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
38 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
39 results on negative inputs.
42 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
43 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
44 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
47 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
48 (except for exponentation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
49 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
50 and add new functions:
63 These functions always generate non-negative results.
65 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
66 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
68 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
69 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
71 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
73 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
74 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
75 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
76 of the static functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words()
77 and bn_add_part_words() which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
78 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
82 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
83 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
84 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
85 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
86 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
88 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
89 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
90 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
94 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
97 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
98 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
101 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
102 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
105 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
106 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
107 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
108 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
112 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
115 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
118 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
119 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
120 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
121 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
124 *) Add the following functions:
130 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
132 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
133 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
134 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
135 libraries unless it's really needed.
137 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
138 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
139 declarations (they differed!).
142 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
145 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
148 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
151 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
152 identity, and test if they are actually available.
155 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
156 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
158 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
159 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
160 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
162 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
164 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
166 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
167 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
170 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
173 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
176 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
179 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
180 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
181 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
183 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
184 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
185 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
186 different shared library filenames on each system.
189 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
192 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
195 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
196 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
197 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
199 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
202 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
203 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
204 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
205 binary backward compatibility.
206 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
207 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
208 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
212 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
213 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
215 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
217 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
218 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
219 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
222 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
224 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
226 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
230 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
231 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
232 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
233 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
237 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
240 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
241 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
242 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
243 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
247 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
250 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
252 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
253 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
254 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
255 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
256 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
258 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
259 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
263 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
265 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
266 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
267 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
268 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
269 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
270 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
271 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
272 by the Finished messages.
275 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
276 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
278 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
279 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
280 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
281 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
282 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
286 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
287 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
288 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
289 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
290 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
291 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
292 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
293 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
294 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
298 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
299 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
300 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
301 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
303 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
304 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
305 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
306 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
307 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
310 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
311 been tested well enough.
314 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
315 it can return incorrect results.
316 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
317 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
320 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
321 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
322 include zero length content when signing messages.
325 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
326 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
329 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
332 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
336 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
337 packages. The default package contains applications, application
338 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
339 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
340 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
341 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
344 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
345 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
347 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
348 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
350 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
351 random number < q in the DSA library.
354 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
355 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
356 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
357 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
358 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
359 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
360 just makes things more complicated.)
363 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
367 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
368 work better on such systems.
369 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
371 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
372 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
373 keyid to the certificates aux info.
376 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
377 if there was more than one signature.
378 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
380 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
381 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
382 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
383 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
386 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
387 rather than always using the current time.
390 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
391 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
392 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
393 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
394 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
395 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
397 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
398 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
400 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
402 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
403 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
404 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
407 As a result various functions (which were all internal
408 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
409 structure. This will break anything that messed round
410 with X509_STORE internally.
412 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
413 exact match, rather than just subject name.
415 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
416 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
417 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
418 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
419 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
420 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
421 entirely (maybe later...).
423 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
425 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
426 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
427 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
428 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
429 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
430 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
431 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
432 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
434 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
435 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
437 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
438 to customise the verify behaviour.
441 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
442 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
445 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
446 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
447 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
448 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
449 request is improperly encoded.
452 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
453 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
456 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
457 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
459 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
460 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
464 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
465 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
466 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
469 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
470 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
471 BIO/fp routines also added.
474 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
475 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
477 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
478 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
482 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
483 generation and verification.
486 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
487 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
488 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
489 encode and decode it manually.
492 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
494 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
496 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
497 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
498 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
499 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
501 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
502 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
503 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
504 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
505 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
508 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
511 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
512 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
513 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
515 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
516 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
517 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
518 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
519 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
520 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
521 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
522 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
524 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
525 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
527 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
529 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
530 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
531 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
535 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
536 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
537 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
538 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
542 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
544 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
547 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
548 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
549 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
550 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
551 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
552 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
553 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
554 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
555 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
556 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
557 short or long names are found.
560 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
561 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
563 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
564 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
565 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
566 version rollback attacks was not effective.
568 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
569 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
570 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
571 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
574 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
575 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
576 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
579 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
580 these print out strings and name structures based on various
581 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
582 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
583 to allow the various flags to be set.
586 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
587 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
588 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
589 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
593 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
594 negative public key encodings) on by default,
595 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
598 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
599 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
600 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
603 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
604 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
607 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
608 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
609 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
610 are always statically linked for now, but there are
611 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
612 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
615 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
616 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
620 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
624 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
625 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
626 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
627 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
628 form signing output easier to verify.
631 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
634 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
635 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
636 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
637 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
638 are needed because all other string types have virtually
639 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
640 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
641 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
642 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
643 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
646 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
648 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
649 the syntax given in objects.README.
650 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
652 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
655 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
656 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
657 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
658 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
659 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
660 consistent name changes.
663 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
666 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
667 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
668 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
669 environment variable, or the default random state file.
672 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
673 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
674 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
678 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
679 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
680 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
681 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
684 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
685 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
686 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
687 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
688 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
689 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
690 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
691 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
692 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
693 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
697 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
698 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
699 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
700 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
701 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
702 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
703 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
704 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
705 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
706 algorithm to openssl-dev.
709 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
710 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
711 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
712 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
714 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
715 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
716 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
717 omit any duplicate addresses.
720 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
721 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
724 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
725 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
726 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
727 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
728 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
731 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
733 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
734 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
735 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
739 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
740 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
744 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
746 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
747 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
748 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
749 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
750 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
754 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
755 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
756 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
757 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
758 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
759 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
760 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
763 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
764 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
765 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
766 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
767 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
768 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
769 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
770 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
771 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
772 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
773 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
776 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
777 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
778 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
779 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
780 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
782 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
783 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
784 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
785 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
786 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
788 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
791 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
792 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
793 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
794 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
796 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
798 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
801 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
802 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
803 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
806 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
807 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
808 any installed hardware versions can.
811 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
812 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
813 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
817 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
818 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
819 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
820 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
821 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
823 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
824 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
827 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
828 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
831 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
832 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
833 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
837 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
840 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
841 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
842 but no ssl client purpose.
843 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
845 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
846 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
847 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
848 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
849 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
850 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
851 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
852 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
853 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
854 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
855 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
858 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
859 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
860 be obtained from the error queue.
863 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
864 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
865 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
866 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
869 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
872 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
873 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
874 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
875 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
876 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
879 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
880 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
881 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
882 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
883 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
886 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
887 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
888 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
890 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
892 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
893 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
894 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
895 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
896 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
897 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
898 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
899 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
900 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
901 or "the configuration storage API"...
903 The new configuration file reading functions are:
905 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
906 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
908 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
910 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
912 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
913 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
914 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
915 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
916 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
917 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
918 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
920 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
921 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
924 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
925 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
926 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
927 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
930 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
931 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
932 them in a portable way.
933 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
935 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
937 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
939 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
940 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
942 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
943 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
944 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
947 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
948 was larger than the MD block size.
949 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
951 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
952 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
953 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
954 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
958 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
959 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
960 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
962 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
964 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
966 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
967 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
968 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
969 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
970 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
971 Additional arguments are always ignored.
973 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
974 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
976 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
977 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
980 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
983 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
984 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
986 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
987 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
988 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
989 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
992 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
993 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
994 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
995 does not suppress any output.
998 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
999 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
1000 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
1001 with all the associated security issues.
1003 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
1004 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
1005 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
1006 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
1007 use the value in the default purpose.
1010 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
1011 and fix a memory leak.
1014 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
1015 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
1016 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
1017 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
1020 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
1021 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
1022 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
1023 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
1026 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
1027 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
1028 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
1031 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
1032 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
1035 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
1036 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
1040 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
1041 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
1044 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
1045 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
1046 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
1049 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
1050 number generation fails.
1053 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
1056 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
1057 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
1059 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
1062 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
1063 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
1065 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
1066 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
1068 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
1070 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
1071 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
1074 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
1075 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
1077 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
1078 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
1081 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
1082 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
1083 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
1084 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
1085 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
1086 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
1088 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
1089 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
1090 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
1094 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
1095 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
1096 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
1097 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
1098 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
1099 counter, some don't.)
1100 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
1101 counters or duplicate objects.
1104 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
1105 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
1108 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
1109 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
1110 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
1112 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
1113 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
1114 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
1118 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
1119 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
1122 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
1123 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
1124 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
1128 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
1129 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
1130 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
1133 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
1134 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
1135 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
1136 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
1137 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
1138 should work without changes.
1141 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
1142 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
1143 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
1144 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
1145 must be defined. E.g.,
1146 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
1147 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
1148 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
1149 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
1151 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
1155 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
1156 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
1157 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
1160 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
1161 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
1162 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
1163 request header lines. Some software needs this.
1166 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
1167 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
1168 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
1169 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
1170 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
1171 is prompted for as usual.
1174 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
1175 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
1176 autodetect the card and use it if present.
1177 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
1179 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
1180 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
1181 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
1182 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
1185 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
1188 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
1192 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
1195 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
1198 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
1202 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
1205 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
1208 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
1209 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
1212 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
1213 options to produce them.
1216 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
1217 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
1220 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
1224 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
1225 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
1226 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
1227 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
1228 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
1229 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
1230 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
1233 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
1236 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
1237 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
1238 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
1241 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
1242 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
1244 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
1245 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
1248 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
1249 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
1250 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
1254 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
1255 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
1257 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
1258 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
1259 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
1260 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
1261 generation becomes much faster.
1263 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
1264 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
1265 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
1266 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
1267 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
1268 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
1269 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
1270 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
1271 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
1272 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
1275 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
1276 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
1277 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
1278 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
1279 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
1280 trial division stage.
1283 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
1287 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
1290 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
1293 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
1294 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
1295 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
1299 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
1300 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
1301 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
1304 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
1305 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
1306 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
1307 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
1309 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
1310 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
1313 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
1316 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
1317 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
1318 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
1319 Rabin-Miller iterations.
1322 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
1323 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
1324 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
1327 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
1328 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
1329 (instead of parameters) in future.
1332 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
1333 when a new cipher list is set.
1336 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
1337 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
1340 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
1341 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
1342 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
1344 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
1345 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
1346 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
1347 an error is flagged.
1349 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
1350 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
1351 the readability was also increased :-)
1352 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1354 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
1355 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
1356 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
1357 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
1361 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
1362 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
1365 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
1366 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
1367 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
1368 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
1371 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
1372 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
1373 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
1374 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
1375 because they handle more complex structures.)
1378 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
1379 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
1380 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
1381 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
1383 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
1384 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
1385 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
1386 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
1387 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
1388 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
1389 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
1392 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
1393 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
1394 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
1395 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
1396 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
1399 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
1402 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
1403 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
1404 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
1405 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
1406 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
1409 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
1413 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
1414 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
1415 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
1416 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
1419 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
1422 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
1423 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
1424 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
1425 international characters are used.
1427 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
1428 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
1429 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
1433 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
1434 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
1435 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
1438 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
1439 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
1440 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
1441 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
1442 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
1443 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
1445 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
1446 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
1447 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
1448 be handled by the string table functions.
1450 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
1451 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
1452 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
1453 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
1454 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
1458 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
1459 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
1460 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
1461 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
1462 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
1464 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
1465 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
1466 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
1467 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
1470 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
1471 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
1472 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
1473 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
1474 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
1478 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
1479 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
1480 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
1481 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
1482 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
1483 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
1484 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
1485 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
1487 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
1488 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
1489 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
1492 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
1493 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
1494 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
1495 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
1496 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
1497 support to pkcs8 application.
1500 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
1501 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
1502 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
1503 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
1504 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
1505 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
1508 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
1509 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
1510 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
1511 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
1512 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
1516 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
1517 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
1518 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
1519 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
1523 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
1524 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
1525 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
1526 and any application specific purposes.
1528 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
1529 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
1530 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
1531 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
1532 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
1533 if the certificate is self signed.
1536 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
1537 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
1540 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
1541 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
1542 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
1543 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
1546 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
1547 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
1548 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
1549 Update documentation.
1552 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
1553 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
1554 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
1555 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
1556 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
1559 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
1561 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
1563 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
1564 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
1565 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
1566 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
1567 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
1568 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
1569 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
1570 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
1571 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
1572 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
1574 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
1576 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1577 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1578 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
1579 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
1580 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
1582 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
1583 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
1584 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
1585 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
1586 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
1587 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
1588 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
1589 request additional information:
1590 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
1591 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
1593 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
1594 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
1595 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
1598 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
1599 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
1602 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
1605 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
1606 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1608 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
1609 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
1610 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
1614 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
1615 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
1616 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
1618 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
1619 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
1620 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
1621 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
1622 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
1623 included in OpenSSL.
1626 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
1627 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
1628 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
1629 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
1630 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
1631 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
1634 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
1638 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
1639 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
1640 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
1641 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
1642 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
1646 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
1650 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
1651 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
1652 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
1653 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
1654 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
1655 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
1656 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
1657 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
1658 be maintained manually.
1660 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
1661 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
1662 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
1663 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
1664 work because people forget to call this function]
1665 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
1666 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
1667 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
1670 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
1671 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
1672 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
1673 should be discouraged from doing it.
1676 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
1677 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
1678 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
1679 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
1680 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
1681 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
1684 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
1685 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
1686 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
1688 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
1689 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
1690 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
1692 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
1693 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
1694 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
1695 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
1696 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
1697 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
1699 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
1700 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
1701 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
1703 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
1704 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
1707 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
1708 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
1709 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
1710 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
1713 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
1716 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
1717 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
1718 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
1719 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
1720 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
1721 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
1722 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
1723 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
1724 keys so we should be OK.
1726 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
1727 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
1728 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
1729 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
1730 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
1731 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
1732 stay in the name of compatibility.
1734 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
1735 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
1736 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
1738 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
1739 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
1740 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
1741 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
1742 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
1743 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
1747 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
1748 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
1749 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
1750 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
1751 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
1752 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
1753 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
1754 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
1755 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
1756 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
1757 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
1758 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
1759 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
1762 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
1765 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
1766 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
1767 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
1768 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
1769 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
1770 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
1771 single self signed certificate. This means that:
1772 openssl verify ss.pem
1773 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
1774 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
1778 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
1779 (and add it to external session representation).
1780 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
1781 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
1782 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
1783 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
1784 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
1785 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
1787 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
1789 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
1790 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
1791 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
1792 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
1794 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
1795 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
1796 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
1799 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
1800 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
1801 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
1805 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
1806 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
1807 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
1809 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
1810 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
1811 certificate auxiliary information.
1814 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
1818 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
1819 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
1820 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
1821 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
1822 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
1823 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
1824 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
1827 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
1828 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
1831 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
1832 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
1833 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
1834 manpages and fix a few bugs.
1837 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
1840 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
1841 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
1844 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
1845 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
1846 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
1847 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
1848 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
1849 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
1850 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
1851 using the new 'x509' options.
1853 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
1854 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
1855 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
1856 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
1860 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
1861 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
1862 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
1863 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
1864 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
1867 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
1868 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
1869 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
1870 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
1871 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
1872 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
1873 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
1874 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
1875 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
1876 the key length and effective key length are equal.
1879 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
1880 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
1881 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
1882 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
1883 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
1884 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
1885 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
1888 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
1889 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
1890 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
1891 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
1892 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
1893 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
1894 openssl.cnf for more info.
1897 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
1898 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
1899 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
1900 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
1901 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
1902 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
1903 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
1904 md should be large enough anyway.
1907 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
1908 for handling the random seed file.
1910 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
1912 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
1915 x509 (when signing).
1916 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
1917 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
1918 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
1920 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
1921 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
1922 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
1923 that support '-rand'.
1926 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
1927 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
1930 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
1931 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
1934 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
1935 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
1936 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
1937 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
1941 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
1942 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
1943 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
1944 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
1947 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
1948 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
1949 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
1950 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
1951 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
1952 print out all the purposes.
1955 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
1959 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
1960 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
1961 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
1962 single function call.
1965 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
1966 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
1969 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
1970 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
1971 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
1974 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
1975 when producing the local key id.
1976 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1978 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
1979 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
1980 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
1984 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
1985 a public key to be input or output. For example:
1986 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
1987 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
1990 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
1991 in the message. This was handled by allowing
1992 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
1993 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
1995 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
1996 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
1997 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
1998 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2000 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
2001 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
2002 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
2003 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
2004 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
2005 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
2006 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
2007 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
2008 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
2009 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
2010 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
2011 trivial: move one line.
2012 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
2014 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
2015 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
2016 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
2017 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
2018 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
2019 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
2020 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
2021 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
2022 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
2023 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
2024 with an event loop for example.
2027 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
2028 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
2029 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
2030 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
2031 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
2032 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
2033 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
2034 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
2035 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
2038 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
2039 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
2040 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
2041 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
2042 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
2043 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
2046 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
2047 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
2048 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
2049 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
2051 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
2052 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
2053 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
2054 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
2058 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
2059 (still largely untested)
2062 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
2063 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
2066 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
2067 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
2070 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
2071 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
2072 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
2075 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
2076 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
2077 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
2078 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
2079 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
2082 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
2085 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
2086 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
2087 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
2088 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
2089 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
2093 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
2094 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
2097 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
2100 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
2101 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
2102 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
2103 are otherwise ignored at present.
2106 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
2107 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
2108 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
2109 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
2110 copied until the next read.
2113 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
2114 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
2115 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
2118 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
2119 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
2120 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
2121 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
2122 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
2123 associated functions.
2126 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
2127 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
2128 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
2129 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
2130 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
2131 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
2132 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
2133 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
2134 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
2138 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
2139 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
2140 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
2141 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
2144 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
2145 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
2146 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
2147 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
2148 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
2152 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
2153 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
2157 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
2158 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
2159 extensions to be obtained and added.
2162 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
2163 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
2166 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
2168 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2169 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2171 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
2172 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
2174 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
2178 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
2179 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
2180 DH parameters contain its length).
2182 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
2183 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
2184 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
2185 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
2186 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
2187 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
2188 utter importance to use
2189 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2191 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
2192 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
2193 attacks may become possible!
2196 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
2199 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
2200 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
2203 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
2204 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
2205 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
2209 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
2210 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
2211 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
2212 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
2213 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
2214 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
2215 private key operations.
2218 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
2221 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
2222 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
2224 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
2225 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
2226 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
2227 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
2228 the password callback is called.
2229 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
2231 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
2233 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
2234 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
2235 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
2236 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
2237 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
2238 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
2241 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
2242 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
2243 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2244 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
2245 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
2246 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
2249 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
2252 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
2253 delete an unused file.
2256 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
2257 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
2258 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
2259 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
2262 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
2263 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
2264 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
2268 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
2269 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
2270 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2272 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
2273 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
2274 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
2275 comparison" warnings.
2276 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
2279 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
2280 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
2281 derived keys are printed to stderr.
2284 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
2285 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
2287 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
2288 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
2290 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
2291 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
2292 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
2294 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
2295 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
2296 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
2297 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
2298 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
2300 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
2302 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
2303 The interface is as follows:
2304 Applications can use
2305 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
2306 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
2307 "off" is now the default.
2308 The library internally uses
2309 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
2310 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
2311 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
2313 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
2314 even the default) are now avoided.
2316 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
2317 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
2318 than just having a counter.
2320 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
2322 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
2326 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
2327 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
2328 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
2329 Initial "mode" flags are:
2331 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
2332 a single record has been written.
2333 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
2334 retries use the same buffer location.
2335 (But all of the contents must be
2339 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
2342 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
2343 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
2345 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
2346 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
2347 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
2350 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
2351 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
2353 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
2355 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
2356 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
2357 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
2358 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
2360 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
2361 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
2363 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
2364 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
2365 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
2366 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
2367 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
2368 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
2371 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
2372 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
2373 necessary function names.
2376 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
2377 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
2378 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
2379 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
2382 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
2383 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
2384 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
2387 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
2388 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
2389 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
2390 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
2392 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
2396 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
2397 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
2398 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
2401 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
2402 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
2406 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
2407 for the encoded length.
2408 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
2410 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
2413 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
2414 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
2415 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
2416 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
2419 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
2420 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
2421 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2423 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
2424 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
2425 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
2429 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
2430 to use the new extension code.
2433 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
2434 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
2435 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
2439 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
2440 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
2441 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
2445 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
2448 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
2449 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
2450 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
2453 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
2454 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
2455 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
2456 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
2459 *) DES library cleanups.
2462 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
2463 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
2464 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
2465 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
2466 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
2470 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
2471 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
2474 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
2475 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
2476 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
2477 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
2478 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
2479 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
2480 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
2481 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
2482 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
2485 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
2486 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
2487 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
2488 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
2489 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
2490 value doesn't matter.
2493 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
2497 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
2498 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
2499 "linux-sparc" configuration.
2500 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
2502 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
2505 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
2506 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
2507 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2509 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
2510 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2512 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
2515 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
2518 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
2521 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
2525 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
2527 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
2529 *) Updated some demos.
2530 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
2532 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
2535 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
2538 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
2541 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
2542 instead of using a fixed path.
2545 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
2548 *) Improvements for VMS support.
2552 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
2554 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
2555 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
2556 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2558 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
2559 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
2560 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
2561 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
2562 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
2563 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
2564 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
2565 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
2566 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
2567 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
2570 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
2571 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
2574 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
2575 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
2576 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
2577 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
2578 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
2580 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
2583 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
2584 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
2585 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
2588 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
2591 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
2592 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
2593 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
2594 key elements as negative integers.
2597 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
2598 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2601 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
2603 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
2604 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
2605 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
2608 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
2609 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
2610 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
2611 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
2612 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
2615 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
2618 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
2619 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
2620 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
2621 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2623 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
2624 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
2625 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
2627 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
2628 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
2629 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
2630 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
2631 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
2632 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
2633 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
2634 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
2635 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
2637 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
2638 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
2639 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
2640 does not influence s as it used to.
2642 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
2643 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
2644 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
2645 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
2646 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
2647 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
2650 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
2651 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
2652 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
2656 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
2657 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
2658 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
2662 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
2663 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
2664 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
2668 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
2669 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
2672 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
2673 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2678 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
2679 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2681 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
2682 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2684 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
2687 *) Update HPUX configuration.
2690 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
2691 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2693 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
2694 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
2695 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
2699 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
2700 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
2701 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
2702 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
2703 now it really counts the depth.
2706 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
2707 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
2708 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
2709 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
2710 didn't match the private key).
2712 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
2713 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
2714 connection using the SSL_CTX).
2717 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
2720 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
2724 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
2725 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
2726 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
2729 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
2732 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
2733 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
2734 such as /usr/local/bin.
2737 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
2738 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2740 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
2743 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
2744 extension adding in x509 utility.
2747 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
2750 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
2754 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
2757 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
2758 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
2759 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
2760 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
2761 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
2762 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
2763 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
2764 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
2765 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
2766 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
2769 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
2772 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
2773 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
2776 *) Fix some race conditions.
2779 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
2780 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
2783 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
2786 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
2787 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
2788 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
2789 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
2791 *) Fix lots of warnings.
2792 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2794 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
2795 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
2796 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2798 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
2799 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2801 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
2804 *) Fix typos in error codes.
2805 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
2807 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
2810 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
2811 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2813 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
2814 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
2817 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
2818 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
2821 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
2822 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
2825 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
2826 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
2829 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
2830 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
2833 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
2834 support typesafe stack.
2837 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
2838 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
2840 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
2841 old X509V3 handling code.
2844 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
2847 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
2850 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
2853 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
2854 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
2856 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
2857 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
2858 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
2859 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
2860 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
2863 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
2864 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
2865 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
2866 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
2867 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
2869 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
2870 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
2871 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
2872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2874 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
2875 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
2876 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
2877 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2879 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
2880 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
2881 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
2882 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
2883 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
2884 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
2887 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
2888 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
2891 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
2892 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
2895 *) Tweaks to Configure
2896 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2898 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
2902 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
2905 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
2906 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
2909 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
2910 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
2911 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
2914 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
2917 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
2918 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
2921 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
2922 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
2923 to library startup routines.
2926 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
2927 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
2928 codes along the way.
2931 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
2932 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
2933 objects to objects.h
2936 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
2937 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
2940 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
2941 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
2943 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
2944 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
2945 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
2947 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
2948 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2949 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2951 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
2952 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
2953 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
2956 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
2958 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
2959 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
2962 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
2963 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
2964 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
2965 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
2966 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
2968 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
2969 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
2970 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
2972 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2974 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
2976 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
2978 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
2979 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2981 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
2982 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
2983 if someone would make that last step automatic.
2984 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
2986 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
2989 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
2990 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
2991 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
2992 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
2995 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
2996 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
2997 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
3000 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
3001 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
3002 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
3003 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
3004 installed as `perl').
3005 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3007 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
3008 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3010 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
3011 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
3012 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
3013 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
3014 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
3017 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
3020 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
3021 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
3022 is horrible: I feel ill....
3025 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
3026 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
3027 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
3028 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
3031 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
3032 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3034 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
3035 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
3036 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
3037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3039 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
3040 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
3041 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
3042 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
3043 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
3044 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
3046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3048 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
3049 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3051 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
3052 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
3054 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
3057 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
3058 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
3062 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
3063 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
3064 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
3065 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
3066 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
3067 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
3068 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
3069 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
3070 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
3071 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
3072 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3074 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
3077 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
3078 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
3079 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
3080 for linking it into DSOs.
3081 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3083 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
3087 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
3088 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
3089 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
3090 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
3091 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
3092 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3094 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
3095 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
3096 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
3097 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
3098 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
3099 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
3100 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3102 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
3103 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
3104 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
3108 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
3109 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
3110 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
3111 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
3114 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
3115 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
3116 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
3117 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
3118 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
3122 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
3123 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
3124 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
3125 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
3126 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3128 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
3129 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
3130 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3132 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
3133 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
3135 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
3136 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
3137 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
3138 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
3139 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
3142 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
3143 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
3144 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
3145 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
3146 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
3147 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
3148 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
3151 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
3153 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
3154 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
3157 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
3158 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
3160 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
3161 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
3164 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
3165 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
3166 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
3167 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
3168 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
3170 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
3171 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
3172 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
3173 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
3174 no way to reconfigure them.
3175 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
3176 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
3177 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
3178 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
3179 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
3180 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3182 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
3183 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
3184 recognized by the users.
3185 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3187 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
3188 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
3189 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
3190 already masked variable.
3191 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3193 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
3194 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3196 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
3197 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
3198 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
3199 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3201 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
3202 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
3203 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3205 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
3206 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
3207 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
3208 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
3209 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
3210 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
3211 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
3212 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
3214 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3216 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
3217 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
3218 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3220 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
3221 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
3225 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
3226 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
3228 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
3229 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
3230 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
3231 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
3234 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
3237 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
3238 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3240 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
3243 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
3244 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
3247 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
3248 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
3251 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
3252 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
3253 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
3254 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
3255 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
3256 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
3257 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
3260 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
3261 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3263 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
3264 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
3265 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
3266 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
3267 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3269 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
3270 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
3271 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
3274 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
3275 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
3279 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
3280 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
3281 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3283 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
3284 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
3285 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
3289 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
3290 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
3291 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
3292 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
3295 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
3296 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
3297 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
3298 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
3301 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
3302 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
3303 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
3304 so it wasn't spotted.
3305 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
3307 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
3308 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
3309 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
3310 vectors if you have them.
3313 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
3314 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
3317 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
3318 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
3319 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
3320 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
3322 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
3323 it will update them.
3326 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
3327 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
3328 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
3329 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
3330 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
3331 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
3332 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
3333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3335 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
3336 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
3337 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
3338 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
3339 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
3340 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
3341 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
3342 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
3343 the crypto/md/ stuff).
3344 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3346 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
3347 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
3348 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
3349 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
3350 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
3353 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
3357 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
3358 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3360 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
3361 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
3363 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
3364 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
3367 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
3368 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
3370 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
3371 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
3373 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
3376 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
3380 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
3381 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
3382 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
3383 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
3385 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3388 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
3391 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
3394 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
3395 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
3398 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
3399 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
3403 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
3404 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
3407 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
3408 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
3409 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
3412 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
3413 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
3414 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
3415 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
3416 properly to be processed.
3419 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
3420 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
3421 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
3424 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
3425 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
3427 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
3428 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
3429 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
3430 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
3431 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
3432 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
3433 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
3434 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
3435 or delete all the .err files.
3438 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
3439 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
3440 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
3441 to regenerate it if needed.
3442 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
3443 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
3445 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
3446 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3448 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
3449 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
3450 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
3451 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
3452 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
3455 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
3456 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3458 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
3459 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3461 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
3462 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
3463 error, but didn't set one).
3464 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3466 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
3469 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
3470 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
3473 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
3474 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
3476 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
3477 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
3478 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
3479 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
3480 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
3481 OID is not part of the table.
3484 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
3485 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
3488 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
3491 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
3492 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
3496 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
3497 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
3499 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
3501 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3503 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
3504 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3506 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
3507 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
3509 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
3510 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
3512 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
3513 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
3516 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
3517 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
3520 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
3521 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3523 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
3524 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3526 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
3527 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3529 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
3530 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3532 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
3533 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
3534 unused in the certificate verification process.
3535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3537 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
3538 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
3541 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
3542 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
3543 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
3545 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
3546 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
3547 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
3548 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
3549 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
3551 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
3552 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
3555 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
3558 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
3561 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
3562 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
3564 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
3567 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
3570 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
3573 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
3574 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
3575 other error libraries.
3578 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
3581 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
3582 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
3586 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
3587 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
3588 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
3589 the new set of documenation files.
3590 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
