Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
+ *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
+ information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
+
+ Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
+ mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
+ style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
+ avoid the appearance of a printable string.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
+ functions
+ EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
+ EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
+ EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
+ EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
+ These control ASN1 encoding details:
+ - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
+ has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
+ - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
+ asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
+ POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
+ POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
+ POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
+
+ Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
+ functions
+ EC_GROUP_set_seed()
+ EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
+ EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
+ This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
+ of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
+ EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Add functions
+ EC_POINT_point2bn()
+ EC_POINT_bn2point()
+ EC_POINT_point2hex()
+ EC_POINT_hex2point()
+ providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
+ EC_POINT_oct2point().
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
+ EC_GROUP_set_generator()
+ EC_GROUP_get_generator()
+ EC_GROUP_get_order()
+ EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
+ are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
+ to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
+ adding different types of curves.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
+ arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
+ (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
*) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
*) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
- Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
- (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
+ Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
+ (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
library. Most notably,
functions
EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
- Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
- via
+ Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
+ accessed via
EC_GROUP_set_nid()
EC_GROUP_get_nid()
[Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
- Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+
+ *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
+ to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
+ which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
+
+ (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
+ out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
+ "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
+ directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
+ build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
+ some local tweaks:
+
+ # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
+ # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
+ # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
+ mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
+ cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
+ (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
+ mkdir -p `dirname $F`
+ ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
+ done
+
+ To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
+ is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
+ it probably means the source directory is very clean.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
+ pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
+ the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
+ data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
+ [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
+ [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
+
+ *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
+ error in AES-CFB decryption.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
+ allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
+ calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
+ BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
+ applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
+ EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
+ bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
+ n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
+ of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
- form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form (Michael Bell
- <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>).
- [Lutu Jaenicke]
+ form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
+ Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
+ therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
+ The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
+ x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
+ Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
By default, clients may request session resumption even during
renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
+
+ SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
+ more bits available for options that should not be part of
+ SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
[Bodo Moeller]
*) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
[Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
- cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
- the number of header dependencies.
+ cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
+ (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
Usage example:
EVP_MD_CTX md;
*) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
- AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
- for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
- [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
+ AES OIDs.
+
+ Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
+ Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
+ Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
+ not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
+ alias because they were not yet official; they could be
+ explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
+ group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
+ alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
+ [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
*) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
request to response.
*) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
[Richard Levitte]
- Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [XX xxx 2002]
+ Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [XX xxx XXXX]
+
+ *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
+ for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
+ by the selection routines (PR #130).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
+ [Nils Larsch]
+
+ *) New option
+ SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
+ for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
+ that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
+
+ As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
+ broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
+ SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
+ implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
+ 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
+ applications.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
+
+ *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
+ encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
+ [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
+ an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
+ was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
+ processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
+ BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
+ <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
+ [Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
+ in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
+ before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
+ with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
+ to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
+ ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
+ processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
+ merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
+ [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
*) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
