The intention is to provide a common interface + to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or + HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or... + NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to + pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way + for a function to pass data back to the caller. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup() + works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of + a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates + a memory area. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will + return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be + found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the + searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but + takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently, + the following flags are defined: + + OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH + This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first + element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero + number. + + OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH + This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first + element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful + if there are more than one element where the comparing function + returns zero. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca' + in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the + CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation + as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables + this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request + against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate + request can be signed by that key (self-signing). + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same + subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword + 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default + if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved + with the database itself in a separate index attribute file, + named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for + req and dirName. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an + ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of + the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications + should make sure they are passing it correctly. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its + dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL, + and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary + indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the + default implementation more easily. + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions + in config files. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared. + Make that possible even when linking against static libraries! + [Richard Levitte] + + *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now + means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition + cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming + and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory. + + This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set + PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing + is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in + SMIME_write_PKCS7(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and + applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how + to do it. + [Richard Levitte] + + *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with + precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult() + will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that + makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul() + faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication, + scalar * generator). + [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller] + + *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions + which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the + formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed + correctly. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key + exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from + GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms + cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up. + However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could + provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be + specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary + linker additions, eg; + ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when + testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is + produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt". + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects + could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early + enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch + via PR#459) + [Lutz Jaenicke] + + *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD + and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal + software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can + also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks. + [Geoff Thorpe] *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in @@ -14,6 +187,23 @@ functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc. + + Example for using the new callback interface: + + int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...; + void *my_arg = ...; + BN_GENCB my_cb; + + BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg); + + return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb); + /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the + * documentation of the function that calls the callback. + * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg. + * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex() + * to continue, or 0 to stop. + */ + [Geoff Thorpe] *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it @@ -25,9 +215,9 @@ is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf): CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE { - forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL, - reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL, - -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- } + forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL, + reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL, + -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- } Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR". @@ -120,8 +310,6 @@ [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/. -TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash) -TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations @@ -350,12 +538,167 @@ TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary EC_GROUP_get_nid() [Nils Larsch blinding and + having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors + (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but + avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared + between threads, blinding will still be very fast). + [Bodo Moeller] + +yet to be integrated into this CVS branch: +- Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix + + *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in + the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler. + [Ulf Moeller] + + Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003] + + *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked + via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect + block cipher padding has been found.
