OpenSSL CHANGES
_______________
- Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to genrate keys in "req" with the
+ new API.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
+ supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
+ ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
+ the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
+ a no op.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
+ a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
+ algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
+ return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
+ 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
+ ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
+ use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
+ type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
+ EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
+ signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
+ between digests and public key types.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
+ translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
+ rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
+ needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
+ structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
+ key ASN1 method.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
+ pkeyutl.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
+ public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
+ command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
+ generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
+ pkey, genpkey.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) BeOS support.
+ [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
+
+ *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
+ manual pages.
+ [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
+
+ *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
+ generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
+ support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
+ functionality for RSA.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
+ functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
+ EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
+ key API, doesn't do much yet.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
+ public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
+ "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
+ ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
+ [Douglas Stebila]
+
+ *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
+ EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
+ utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
+ type.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
+ functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
+ EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
+ structure.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
+ De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
+ key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
+ algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
+ algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
+ of public and private key structures.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
+ ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
+ [Douglas Stebila]
+
+ *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
+ for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
+ SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
+
+ New ciphersuites:
+ PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
+ PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
+
+ New functions:
+ SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
+ SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
+ SSL_get_psk_identity
+ SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
+
+ [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
+
+ *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
+ and response verification functionality.
+ [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
*) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
*) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
[Steve Henson]
- Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [XX xxx XXXX]
+ Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
+
+ *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
+ bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
+ necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
+ positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
+ code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
+ now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
+
+ *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
+ cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
+ [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
*) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
- draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes.
+ draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
+ TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
+ branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
[Douglas Stebila]
*) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
