480af99e 5 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
aaf35f11 6
8c968e03 7 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
c8ef656d 8 Add CMAC pkey methods.
8c968e03
DSH
9 [Steve Henson]
10
08c23970 11 *) Experiemental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
c2bf7208 12 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
da454e4c 13 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
08c23970
DSH
14 [Steve Henson]
15
5e631217
DSH
16 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
17 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
18 multi-process servers.
19 [Steve Henson]
20
637f374a
DSH
21 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
22 a few changes are required:
23
24 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
25 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
26 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
27 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
28 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
29 [Steve Henson]
30
d2a53c22
DSH
31 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
32 implementing RFC3211.
33 [Steve Henson]
34
3d63b396
DSH
35 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
36 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
37 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
38 password based CMS).
18e503f3
DSH
39 [Steve Henson]
40
b6dcdbfc
DSH
41 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
42 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
43 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
44 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
45 RAND_METHOD structure.
46 [Steve Henson]
47
acf20c7d
DSH
48 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
49 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
50 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
51 whose return value is often ignored.
52 [Steve Henson]
53
480af99e 54 Changes between 0.9.8m (?) and 1.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
3d63b396 55
c2bf7208
DSH
56 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
57 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
58 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
59 [Steve Henson]
60
ba64ae6c
DSH
61 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
62 [Steve Henson]
63
0e0c6821
DSH
64 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
65 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
66 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
67
e6f418bc
DSH
68 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
69 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
70 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
71 [Steve Henson]
72
7427379e
BM
73 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
74 change when encrypting or decrypting.
75 [Bodo Moeller]
76
3d63b396
DSH
77 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
78 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
79 [Steve Henson]
80
81 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
82 some responders need this.
83 [Steve Henson]
84
a25f33d2
DSH
85 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
86 correctly.
87 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
88
17716680
DSH
89 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
90 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
91 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
92 [Steve Henson]
93
480af99e 94 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
0e4bc563
DSH
95 [Steve Henson]
96
e30dd20c
DSH
97 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
98 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
99 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
100 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
101 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
102 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
103 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
104 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
105 [Steve Henson]
106
480af99e
BM
107 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
108 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
109 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
c05353c5
DSH
110 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
111
d741ccad
DSH
112 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
113 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
114
5f8f94a6
DSH
115 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
116 be used on C++.
117 [Steve Henson]
118
e5fa864f
DSH
119 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
120 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
121 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
122 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
123 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
124 attempting to work them out.
125 [Steve Henson]
126
22c98d4a
DSH
127 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
128 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
129 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
130 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
131 [Steve Henson]
132
14023fe3
DSH
133 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
134 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
135 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
136 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
137 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
138 [Steve Henson]
139
aaf35f11
DSH
140 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
141 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
142 you can do:
143
144 openssl sha256 foo
145
146 as well as:
147
148 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
149
150 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
151
152 [Steve Henson]
3ff55e96 153
b6af2c7e
DSH
154 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
155 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
156
33ab2e31
DSH
157 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
158 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
159
c2c99e28
DSH
160 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
161 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
162 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
163 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
164 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
165 [Steve Henson]
166
8125d9f9
DSH
167 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
168 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
169 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
170 [Steve Henson]
171
363bd0b4
DSH
172 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
173 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
174 [Steve Henson]
175
12bf56c0
DSH
176 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
177 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
178
87d52468
DSH
179 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
180 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
181 [Steve Henson]
182
1ea6472e
BL
183 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
184 [Ben Laurie]
185
babb3798
BL
186 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
187 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
188 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1ea6472e
BL
189 CONF_VALUE.
190 [Ben Laurie]
babb3798 191
87d3a0cd
DSH
192 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
193 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
194 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
195 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
196 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
197 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
198 [Steve Henson]
199
d43c4497
DSH
200 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
201 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
202
203 This work was sponsored by Google.
204 [Steve Henson]
205
4b96839f
DSH
206 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
207 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
208 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
209 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
210 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
211 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
212 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
213 default.
214
215 This work was sponsored by Google.
216 [Steve Henson]
217
249a77f5
DSH
218 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
219
220 This work was sponsored by Google.
221 [Steve Henson]
222
d0fff69d
DSH
223 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
224 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
225 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4b96839f 226 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
d0fff69d
DSH
227
228 This work was sponsored by Google.
229 [Steve Henson]
230
9d84d4ed
DSH
231 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
232 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
233 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
234 CRL functionality in future.
235
236 This work was sponsored by Google.
237 [Steve Henson]
9d84d4ed 238
002e66c0
DSH
239 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
240
241 This work was sponsored by Google.
242 [Steve Henson]
243
e9746e03
DSH
244 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
245 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
246
247 This work was sponsored by Google.
248 [Steve Henson]
249
250 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
251 and URI types are currently supported.
252
253 This work was sponsored by Google.
254 [Steve Henson]
255
4c329696
GT
256 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
257 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
258 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
259 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
260 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
261 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
262 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
263 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
264
265 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
266 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
267 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
268
2ecd2ede
BM
269 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
270 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
271 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
272 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
273
4c329696
GT
274 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
275 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
276 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
277 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
278 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
279 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
280 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
281 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
282 of &errno.)
283 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
284
5cbd2033
DSH
285 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
286 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
287 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
e9746e03
DSH
288
289 This work was sponsored by Google.
5cbd2033
DSH
290 [Steve Henson]
291
5ce278a7
BL
292 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
293 [Ben Laurie]
294
295 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
296 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
297 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
298 [Ben Laurie]
299
8671b898
BL
300 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
301 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
302 [Nick Mathewson]
303
3c1d6bbc
BL
304 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
305 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
306 [Ben Laurie]
307
8931b30d
DSH
308 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
309 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
fd47c361 310 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
eb9d8d8c
DSH
311 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
312 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
313 content types and variants.
8931b30d
DSH
314 [Steve Henson]
315
3df93571 316 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
8931b30d
DSH
317 [Steve Henson]
318
73980531
DSH
319 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
320 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
321 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
322 files from the associated perl scripts.
323 [Steve Henson]
324
0e1dba93
DSH
325 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
326 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
327 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
328
0023adb4
AP
329 *) s390x assembler pack.
330 [Andy Polyakov]
331
4c7c5ff6
AP
332 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
333 "family."
334 [Andy Polyakov]
335
761772d7
BM
336 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
337 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
338 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
339 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
340 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
341 to use. For example, specify an option
342
343 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
344
345 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
346 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
347 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
348 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
349 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
350 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
351
352 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
353 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
354 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
355 return non-zero for success.
356
357 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
358 by using
359
360 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
361 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
362
363 where
364
365 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
366 void *arg;
367
368 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
369 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
370 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
371 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
372 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
373 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
374 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
375 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
376 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
377
378 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
379 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
380 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
381 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
382 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
383 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
384
385 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
386 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
387 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
388 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
389 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
390 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
391
392 [Bodo Moeller]
393
81025661
DSH
394 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
395 MAC.
396
397 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
398
6434abbf
DSH
399 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
400 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
401 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
402 supported.
403
ba0e826d
DSH
404 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
405 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
406 SSL_SESSION.
407
408 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
409 protection in servers so again support should be possible
6434abbf
DSH
410 with no application modification.
411
412 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
413 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
414
415 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
416 or server extensions to be examined.

3c07d3a3
DSH
421 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
422 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
423 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
424
b948e2c5
DSH
425 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
426 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
427 ciphersuite support.
428 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
429
9cfc8a9d
DSH
430 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
431 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
432 to output in BER and PEM format.
433 [Steve Henson]
434
47b71e6e
DSH
435 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
436 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
437 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2022cfe0
DSH
438 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
439 -macopt options to dgst utility.
47b71e6e
DSH
440 [Steve Henson]
441
d952c79a
DSH
442 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
443 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
444 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
445 utility.
446 [Steve Henson]
447
fd5bc65c
BM
448 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
449 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
450 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
451 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
452 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
453 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
454 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
455 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
456 enabled again.
457
458 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
459 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
460 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
461 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
462
463 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
464 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
465 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
466 the default order.
467 [Bodo Moeller]

469 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
470 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
471 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
472 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
473 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
474 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
475 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
476 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
477 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
478
52b8dad8
BM
479 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
480 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
481 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
482 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
483 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
484 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
485 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
486 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
487 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
488 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
489 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
490 kinds of kludges.
491
492 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
493 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
494 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
495
496 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
497 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
498 "CAMELLIA256".
499 [Bodo Moeller]

357d5de5
NL
501 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
502 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
503 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
504 [Nils Larsch]

DSH
506 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
507 it yet and it is largely untested.
508 [Steve Henson]
509
06e2dd03
NL
510 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
511 [Nils Larsch]
512
de121164 513 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
297e6f19 514 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
a6fbcb42 515 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.

518 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
519 [Andy Polyakov]
520
010fa0b3
DSH
521 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
522 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
523 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
524 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
525 [Steve Henson]
526
5d20c4fb
DSH
527 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
528 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
529 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
530 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
531 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
532 [Steve Henson]
533
534 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
535 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
536 [Cryptocom]
537
bc7535bc
DSH
538 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
539 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
540 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
541 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
542 [Steve Henson]
543
544 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
545 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
546 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
547 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
548 [Steve Henson]
549
f6e7d014
DSH
550 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
551 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
552 [Steve Henson]
553
edc54021
DSH
554 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
555 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
556 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
557 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
558 [Steve Henson]
559
450ea834
DSH
560 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
561 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
562 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
563 [Steve Henson]

DSH
569 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
570 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
571 [Steve Henson]
572
573 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
574 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
575 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
576 if necessary.
577 [Steve Henson]
578
0ee2166c
DSH
579 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
580 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
581 to free up any added signature OIDs.
582 [Steve Henson]
583
5ba4bf35
DSH
584 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
585 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
586 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
587 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
588 [Steve Henson]
589
c4e7870a
BM
590 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
591 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
592 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
593 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
594 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
595 the array representation useful in a more general context.
596 [Douglas Stebila]
597
89bbe14c
BM
598 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
599 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
600 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
601 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
602 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
603
604 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
605 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
606 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
607 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
608 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
609 protocol).
610
611 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
612 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
613 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
614 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
615
616 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
617 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
618 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
619 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
620 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
621
622 aECDH - ECDH cert
623 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
624 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
625
626 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
627 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
628

642 [Steve Henson]
643
91c9e621
DSH
644 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
645 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
646 process.
647 [Steve Henson]
648
55311921
DSH
649 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
650 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
651 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
652 [Steve Henson]
653
a6e7fcd1
DSH
654 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
655 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
656 application to support multiple signers.
657 [Steve Henson]
658
121dd39f
DSH
659 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
660 digest MAC.
661 [Steve Henson]
662
856640b5 663 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
b8f702a0 664 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
6d3a1eac
DSH
665 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
666 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
667 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
856640b5
DSH
668 [Steve Henson]
669
34b3c72e 670 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
959e8dfe
DSH
671 new API.
672 [Steve Henson]
673
399a6f0b
DSH
674 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
675 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
676 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
677 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
678 a no op.
679 [Steve Henson]
28e4fe34 680
03919683
DSH
681 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
682 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
683 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
684 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
685 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
686 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
687 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
688 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
689 [Steve Henson]
690
ee1d9ec0
DSH
691 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
692 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
693 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
694 between digests and public key types.
695 [Steve Henson]
696
d2027098
DSH
697 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
698 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
699 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
700 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
701 [Steve Henson]
702
492a9e24
DSH
703 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
704 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
705 key ASN1 method.
706 [Steve Henson]
707

DSH
708 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.

711 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
712 pkeyutl.
713 [Steve Henson]
714
3ba0885a
DSH
715 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
716 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
717 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
718 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
719 pkey, genpkey.
720 [Steve Henson]

728
f5cda4cb
DSH
729 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
730 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
731 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
732 functionality for RSA.
733 [Steve Henson]
734
f733a5ef
DSH
735 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented

737 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
738 [Steve Henson]
739
0b6f3c66
DSH
740 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
741 key API, doesn't do much yet.
742 [Steve Henson]
743
0b33dac3
DSH
744 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
745 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
746 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
747 [Steve Henson]

749 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
750 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
751 [Douglas Stebila]
752
246e0931
DSH
753 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
754 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
755 [Steve Henson]
756
3e4585c8 757 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
f5cda4cb 758 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3e4585c8 759 type.
3e84b6e1
DSH
760 [Steve Henson]
761
35208f36
DSH
762 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
763 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
764 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
765 structure.
766 [Steve Henson]
767
448be743
DSH
768 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
769 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
770 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
771 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
772 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
773 of public and private key structures.
774 [Steve Henson]
775
36ca4ba6
BM
776 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
777 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
778 [Douglas Stebila]
779
ddac1974
NL
780 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
781 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
782 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
783
784 New ciphersuites:
785 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
