OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [xx Aug 1999]
+ Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [XX XXX 2000]
+
+ *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
+ 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
+ returns with exit code 0 iff a command of the given name is available.
+ 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
+ the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
+ Additional arguments are always ignored.
+
+ Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
+ the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
+
+ ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
+ as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
+ is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
+ its own key.
+ ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
+ to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
+ 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
+ you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
+ 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
+ This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
+ does not suppress any output.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
+ purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
+ accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
+ with all the associated security issues.
+
+ X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
+ automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
+ new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
+ a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
+ use the value in the default purpose.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
+ and fix a memory leak.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
+ reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
+ the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
+ automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
+ using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
+ library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
+ case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
+ converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
+ DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
+ by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
+ so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
+ which was free.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
+ instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
+ it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
+ RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
+ number generation fails.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
+ [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
+
+ *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
+ [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
+
+ *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
+ [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
+
+ *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
+ were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
+
+ *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
+ case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
+ assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
+ to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
+ scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
+ is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
+ [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
+
+ *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
+ almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
+ STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
+ for example.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
+ convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
+ and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
+ data structure without incrementing reference counters.
+ (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
+ counter, some don't.)
+ Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
+ counters or duplicate objects.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
+ the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
+ [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
+ pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
+
+ *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
+ RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
+ the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
+ or -rand.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
+ Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
+ list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
+ is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
+ cipher list.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
+ EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
+ EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
+ where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
+ Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
+ many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
+ called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
+ should work without changes.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
+ sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
+ compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
+ one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
+ must be defined. E.g.,
+ #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
+ #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
+ defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
+ [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
+ record layer.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
+ X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
+ the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
+ argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
+ better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
+ request header lines. Some software needs this.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
+ obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
+ it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
+ usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
+ phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
+ is prompted for as usual.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
+ the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
+ autodetect the card and use it if present.
+ [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
+
+ *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
+ and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
+ SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
+ the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
+ of seed file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
+ bits.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
+ equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
+ options to produce them.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
+ get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
+ for p == 0.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
+ include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
+ was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
+ SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
+ link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
+ and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
+ one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
+ a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
+ loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
+ [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
+
+ *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
+ use void * instead of char * in lhash.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
+ (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
+ this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
+ has already seen).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
+ using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
+
+ DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
+ iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
+ to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
+ As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
+ generation becomes much faster.
+
+ This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
+ and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
+ for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
+ occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
+ callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
+ loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
+ DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
+ function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
+ candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
+ from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
+ division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
+ an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
+ has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
+ 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
+ trial division stage.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
+ as ASN1_TIME.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
+ bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
+ SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
+ the comments.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
+ made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
+ SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
+ by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
+ to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
+ [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
+
+ *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
+ used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
+ BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
+ BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
+ Rabin-Miller iterations.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
+ DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
+ (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
+ "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
+ (instead of parameters) in future.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
+ when a new cipher list is set.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
+ ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
+ wrong.
+
+ The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
+ cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
+ The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
+
+ Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
+ string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
+ [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
+ an error is flagged.
+
+ Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
+ ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
+ the readability was also increased :-)
+ [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
+
+ *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
+ for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
+ avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
+ the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
+ as the root CA.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
+ the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
+ X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
+ structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
+ they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
+ instead.
+
+ So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
+ when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
+ PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
+ things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
+ because they handle more complex structures.)
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
+ as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
+ NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
+ [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
+ has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
+ (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
+ error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
+ guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
+ RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
+ (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
+ 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
+ instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
+ in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
+ false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
+ in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
+ from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
+ the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
+ after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
+ to use this.
+
+ Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
+ code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
+ behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
+ -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
+ only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
+ [Ulf Möller]
+
+ *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
+ unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
+ draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
+ international characters are used.
+
+ More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
+ based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
+ attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
+ in ASN1 order.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
+ automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
+ file containing all the field values and have req construct the
+ request.
+
+ Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
+ used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
+ structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
+ some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
+ manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
+ attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
+
+ Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
+ automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
+ more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
+ be handled by the string table functions.
+
+ Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
+ a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
+ can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
+ is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
+ (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
+ types at all.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
+ SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
+ Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
+ respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
+ actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
+
+ As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
+ (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
+ be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
+ provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
+ the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
+ $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
+ performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
+ a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
+ SHA1.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
+ SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
+ weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
+ with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
+ the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
+ a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
+ expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
+ is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
+
+ To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
+ hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
+ reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
+ if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
+ d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
+ format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
+ has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
+ support to pkcs8 application.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
+ ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
+ specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
+ is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
+ (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
+ behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
+ SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
+ concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
+ The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
+ so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
+ consistency.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
+ to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
+ some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
+ defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
+ example.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
+ two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
+ typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
+ and any application specific purposes.
+
+ The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
+ check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
+ be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
+ for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
+ in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
+ if the certificate is self signed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
+ traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
+ a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
+ terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
+ environment or config files in a few more utilities.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
+ keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
+ to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
+ Update documentation.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
+ ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
+ and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
+ ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
+ don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
+ for details.
+ [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
+
+ *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
+ possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
+ provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
+ deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
+ pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
+ since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
+ the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
+ compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
+ OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
+ this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
+
+ With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
+
+ CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
+ CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
+ CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
+ CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
+ CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
+
+ The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
+ is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
+ wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
+ gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
+ CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
+ provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
+ debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
+ request additional information:
+ CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
+ the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
+
+ Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
+ expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
+ and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
+ options.
+
+ To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
+ way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
+
+ CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
+ CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
+ CRYPTO_dbg_free()
+
+ All macros of value have retained their old syntax.

+
+ *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
+ ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
+ was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
+ algorithm.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
+ ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
+ [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
+ S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
+ functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
+ called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
+ originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
+ included in OpenSSL.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
+ des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
+ decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
+ des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
+ the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
+ have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
+ PKCS12 structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
+ dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
+ table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
+ functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
+ application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
+ structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
+ need initialising.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
+ works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
+ extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
+ and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
+ crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
+ updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
+ in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
+ this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
+ be maintained manually.
+
+ There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
+ can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
+ X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
+ [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
+ work because people forget to call this function]
+ Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
+ so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
+ X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
+ magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
+ to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
+ should be discouraged from doing it.
+ [Ben Laurie]
+
+ *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
+ digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
+ parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
+ operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
+ -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
+ DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
+ certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
+ when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
+
+ There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
+ this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
+ every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
+
+ Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
+ settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
+ if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
+ trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
+ permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
+ certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
+
+ Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
+ which should be used for version portability: especially since the
+ verify structure is likely to change more often now.
+
+ SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
+ to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
+ and vice versa.
+
+ Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
+ untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
+ intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
+ new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Support for the authority information access extension.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
+ PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
+ public keys in a format compatible with certificate
+ SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
+ functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
+ these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
+ never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
+ utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
+ keys so we should be OK.
+
+ The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
+ that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
+ formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
+ require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
+ even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
+ other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
+ stay in the name of compatibility.
+
+ With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
+ is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
+ it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
+
+ Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
+ Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
+ (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
+ EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
+ that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
+ reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
+ supplied key).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
+ CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
+ added a new function to read in both types and return the number
+ read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
+ DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
+ because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
+ without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
+ a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
+ in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
+ attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
+ any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
+ to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
+ routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
+ so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
+ for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
+ has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
+ certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
+ in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
+ single self signed certificate. This means that:
+ openssl verify ss.pem
+ now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
+ openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
+ is OK.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
+ (and add it to external session representation).
+ This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
+ but an application-provided verification callback (set by
+ SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
+ anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
+ but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
+ ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
+ security holes.
+ [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
+
+ *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
+ case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
+ didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
+ [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
+ forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
+ -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
+ to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
+ hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
+ code.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
+ the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
+ [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
+
+ *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
+ Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
+ certificate auxiliary information.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
+ the 'enc' command.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
+ detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
+ allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
+ the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
+ stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
+ is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
+ Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
+ [Richard Levitte]
+
+ *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
+ encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
+ to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
+ OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
+ manpages and fix a few bugs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
+ leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
+ This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
+ functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
+ can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
+ will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
+ doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
+ retained: existing certificates can have this information added
+ using the new 'x509' options.
+
+ Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
+ settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
+ certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
+ can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
+ for all purposes.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
+ The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
+ since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
+ with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
+ performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
+ [Mark Cox]
+
+ *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
+ handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
+ the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
+ A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
+ to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
+ the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
+ be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
+ by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
+ EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
+ the key length and effective key length are equal.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
+ X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
+ X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
+ and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
+ the structures. The more adventurous can try:
+ X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
+ and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
+ copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
+ way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
+ BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
+ BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
+ using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
+ openssl.cnf for more info.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
+ - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
+ - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
+ md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
+ or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
+ Access to the large state is not always serializable because
+ the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
+ md should be large enough anyway.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
+ for handling the random seed file.
+
+ Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
+ ca,
+ dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
+ s_client,
+ s_server,
+ x509 (when signing).
+ Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
+ seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
+ for RSA signatures we could do without one.
+
+ gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
+ of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
+ found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
+ that support '-rand'.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
+ don't just chmod when it may be too late.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
+ when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
+ [Bill Perry]
+
+ *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
+ ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
+ into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
+ and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
+ is suitable.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
+ macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
+ use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
+ should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
+ to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
+ server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
+ VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
+ verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
+ print out all the purposes.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
+ functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
+ for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
+ This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
+ single function call.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
+ platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
+ its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
+ from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
+ when producing the local key id.
+ [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
+
+ *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
+ stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
+ certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
+ "server.pem".
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
+ a public key to be input or output. For example:
+ openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
+ Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
+ in the message. This was handled by allowing
+ X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
+
+ *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
+ to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
+ if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
+
+ *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
+ data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
+ caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
+ BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
+ trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
+ do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
+ data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
+ the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
+ is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
+ resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
+ usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
+ trivial: move one line.
+ [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
+
+ *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
+ old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
+ tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
+ supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
+ sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
+ are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
+ the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
+ received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
+ keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
+ working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
+ with an event loop for example.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
+ and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
+ will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
+ if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
+ For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
+ should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
+ This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
+ for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
+ of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
+ will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
+ similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
+ no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
+ less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
+ a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
+ sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
+ multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
+ [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
+ removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
+ is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
+ by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
+ key generation.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
+ (still largely untested)
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
+ ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
+ UTF8 strings a character at a time.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
+ (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
+ (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
+ handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
+ NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
+ print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
+ Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
+ [Andy Polyakov]
+
+ *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
+ command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
+ <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
+ and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
+ the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
+ in ca.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
+ the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
+ 1.OU="Unit name 1"
+ 2.OU="Unit name 2"
+ this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
+ are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
+ config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
+ are otherwise ignored at present.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
+ data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
+ EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
+ A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
+ copied until the next read.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
+ a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
+ for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
+ provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
+ "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
+ hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
+ library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
+ associated functions.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
+ as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
+ not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
+ a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
+ an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
+ to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
+ copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
+ function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
+ an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
+ memory BIOs.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
+ state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
+ a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
+ but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
+ NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
+ always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
+ the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
+ allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
+ functionality.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
+ the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
+ under Win32.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
+ in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
+ extensions to be obtained and added.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
+ CRLF (as required by many protocols).
+ [Bodo Moeller]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
- *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is build with RSAref.
+ *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
