This is similar to algorithm specific utilities - such as 'rsa', 'dsa' etc except it processes any key type. + *) 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 ] + + *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the + manual pages. + [Oliver Tappe ] + + *) 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.

[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.
