5 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [xx XXX 1999]

525f51f6
DSH
7 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10 Update documentation.
11 [Steve Henson]
12
e76f935e
DSH
13 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
14 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
78baa17a 15 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
e76f935e
DSH
16 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
17 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
18 [Steve Henson]
19
099f1b32
AP
20 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
21 for details.
22 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
23
9ac42ed8
RL
24 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
25 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
26 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
27 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example if memory
28 pool implementations, or something else. The same is provided for
29 memory debugging code. OpenSSL already comes with code that finds
30 memory leaks, but this gives people a chance to debug other memory
31 problems.
d8df48a9 32
f3a2a044
RL
33 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
34
35 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
36 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
37 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
38 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
39 CRYPTO_melloc_debug_init() [M]
40
41 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
42 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
43 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() or
44 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() must be used.
45
46 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
47 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
48 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
49 options.
50
51 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
52 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
53
54 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
55 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
56 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
57
58 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.

b216664f
DSH
61 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
62 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
63 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
64 algorithm.
65 [Steve Henson]
66
d8223efd
DSH
67 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
68 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
69 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
70
5a9a4b29
DSH
71 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
72 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
73 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
74 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
75 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
76 included in OpenSSL.
77 [Steve Henson]
78
cddfe788
BM
79 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
80 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
81 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
82 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
83 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
84 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
85 [Bodo Moeller]
86
21131f00
DSH
87 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
88 PKCS12 structure.
89 [Steve Henson]
90
dd413410
DSH
91 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
92 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
93 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
94 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
95 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
96 structure.
97 [Steve Henson]
98
99 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
100 need initialising.
101 [Steve Henson]
102
08cba610
DSH
103 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
104 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
105 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
106 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
107 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
108 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
109 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
110 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
111 be maintained manually.
112
113 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
114 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
115 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
116 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
117 work because people forget to call this function]
118 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
119 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
120 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
121 [Steve Henson]
122
fea9afbf
BL
123 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
124 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
125 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
126 should be discouraged from doing it.
127 [Ben Laurie]
128
9868232a
DSH
129 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
130 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
131 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
132 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
133 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
134 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
135 [Steve Henson]
136
51630a37
DSH
137 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
138 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
139 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
140
141 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
bb7cd4e3
DSH
142 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
143 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
51630a37
DSH
144
145 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
146 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
147 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
148 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
149 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
150 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11262391
DSH
151
152 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
153 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
154 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
d4cec6a1 155
bb7cd4e3
DSH
156 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
157 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
158 and vice versa.
159
d4cec6a1
DSH
160 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
161 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
162 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
163 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11262391
DSH
164 [Steve Henson]
165
166 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6d3724d3
DSH
167 [Steve Henson]
168
52664f50
DSH
169 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
170 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
171 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
172 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
173 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
78baa17a 174 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
52664f50
DSH
175 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
176 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
177 keys so we should be OK.
178
179 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
180 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
181 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
182 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
183 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
184 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
78baa17a 185 stay in the name of compatibility.
52664f50
DSH
186
187 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
188 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
189 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
190
191 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
192 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*() and add
193 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*()
194 except they up the reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow"
195 the supplied key).
196 [Steve Henson]
197
198 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
199 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
200 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
201 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
202 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
203 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
204 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
205 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
206 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
207 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
208 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
209 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
210 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
211 [Steve Henson]
212
a716d727
DSH
213 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
214 [Steve Henson]
215
f76d8c47
DSH
216 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
217 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
218 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
219 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
220 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
221 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
222 single self signed certificate. This means that:
223 openssl verify ss.pem
224 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
225 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
226 is OK.
227 [Steve Henson]
228
b1fe6ca1
BM
229 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
230 (and add it to external session representation).
231 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
232 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
233 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
234 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
235 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
236 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
237 security holes.
238 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
239
91895a59
DSH
240 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
241 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
242 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
f76d8c47 243 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
91895a59 244
fd699ac5
DSH
245 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
246 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
247 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
248 [Steve Henson]
249
e947f396
DSH
250 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
251 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
252 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
253 code.
254 [Steve Henson]
255
b7cfcfb7
MC
256 *) Correctly increment the reference count in the SSL_SESSION pointer
257 returned from SSL_get_session().
258 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
259
06556a17
DSH
260 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
261 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
262 certificate auxiliary information.
263 [Steve Henson]
264
a0e9f529
DSH
265 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
266 the 'enc' command.
267 [Steve Henson]
268
71d7526b
RL
269 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
270 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
271 allocation was originated. Also updated sid code to be multi-
272 thread-safe.
273 [Richard Levitte]
274
a0e9f529 275 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
954ef7ef
DSH
276 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
277 [Steve Henson]
278
af29811e
DSH
279 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
280 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
281 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
282 manpages and fix a few bugs.
283 [Steve Henson]
284
aba3e65f
DSH
285 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
286 [Steve Henson]
287
a0ad17bb
DSH
288 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
289 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
290 [Steve Henson]
291
ce1b4fe1
DSH
292 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
293 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
294 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
295 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
296 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
78baa17a 297 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
ce1b4fe1
DSH
298 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
299 using the new 'x509' options.
300
301 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
302 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
303 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
304 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
305 for all purposes.
306 [Steve Henson]
307
ce2c95b2
MC
308 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD). The
309 problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
310 SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced with
311 non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
312 improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
313 [Mark Cox]
314
9716a8f9
DSH
315 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
316 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
317 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
318 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
319 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
320 the effective key length. In this case the effective key lenth can still
321 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
322 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
323 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
324 the key length and effective key length are equal.
325 [Steve Henson]
326
74400f73
DSH
327 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
328 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
329 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
330 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
331 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
332 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
333 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
334 [Steve Henson]
335
336 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
337 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
338 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
339 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
340 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
341 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
342 openssl.cnf for more info.
343 [Steve Henson]
344
c1e744b9 345 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
62ac2938 346 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
c1e744b9
BM
347 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
348 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
349 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
350 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
351 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
352 md should be large enough anyway.
353 [Bodo Moeller]
354
a31011e8
BM
355 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
356 for handling the random seed file.
357
358 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
359 ca,
78baa17a 360 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
a31011e8
BM
361 s_client,
362 s_server,
363 x509 (when signing).
364 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
365 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
99e87569 366 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
a31011e8
BM
367
368 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
78baa17a 369 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
a31011e8 370 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
78baa17a 371 that support '-rand'.
a31011e8
BM
372 [Bodo Moeller]
373
374 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
375 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
376 [Bodo Moeller]
377
378 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
379 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
380 [Bill Perry]
381
462f79ec
DSH
382 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
383 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
384 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
385 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
386 is suitable.
387 [Steve Henson]
388
08e9c1af
DSH
389 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
390 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
391 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
392 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
393 [Steve Henson]
394
673b102c
DSH
395 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
396 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
397 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
398 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
399 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
400 print out all the purposes.
401 [Steve Henson]
402
56a3fec1
DSH
403 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
404 functions.
405 [Steve Henson]
406
4654ef98
DSH
407 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
408 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
409 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
410 single function call.
411 [Steve Henson]
412
7e102e28
AP
413 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
414 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
415 [Andy Polyakov]
416
d71c6bc5
DSH
417 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
418 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
419 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
420 [Steve Henson]
421
2d681b77
DSH
422 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
423 when producing the local key id.
424 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
425
3908cdf4
DSH
426 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
427 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
428 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
429 "server.pem".
430 [Steve Henson]
431
3ea23631
DSH
432 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
433 a public key to be input or output. For example:
434 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
435 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
436 [Steve Henson]
437
393f2c65
DSH
438 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
439 in the message. This was handled by allowing
440 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
441 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
442
443 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
444 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
445 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.

448 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
449 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
450 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
451 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
452 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
453 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
454 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
455 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
456 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
457 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
458 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
459 trivial: move one line.

DSH
462 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
463 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
464 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
465 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
466 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
467 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
468 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
469 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
470 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
471 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
472 with an event loop for example.

DSH
475 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
476 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
477 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
478 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
479 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
480 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
481 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
482 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
483 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
484 [Steve Henson]
485
090d848e
DSH
486 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
487 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
488 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
489 no longer acesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
490 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
491 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.

494 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
495 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
496 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
497 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
498
4a61a64f
DSH
499 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
500 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
501 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
502 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
503 key generation.

BM
518 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
519 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
520 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
521 [Bodo Moeller]
522
8ce97163
DSH
523 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
524 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
525 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
526 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
527 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.

DSH
533 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
534 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
535 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
536 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
537 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
538 in ca.
539 [Steve Henson]
540
f9150e54
DSH
541 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
542 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
543 1.OU="Unit name 1"
544 2.OU="Unit name 2"
545 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
546 [Steve Henson]
547
c79b16e1
DSH
548 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
549 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
550 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
551 are otherwise ignored at present.
552 [Steve Henson]
553
96c2201b 554 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
0f7e6fe1 555 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7b65c329
DSH
556 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
557 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
558 copied until the next read.
559 [Steve Henson]
560

DSH
561 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
562 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
563 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
c0711f7f
DSH
566 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
567 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
568 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
569 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
570 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
571 associated functions.
572 [Steve Henson]
573
8484721a
DSH
574 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
575 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
576 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
577 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
578 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
579 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
580 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
581 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
582 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
583 memory BIOSs.
584 [Steve Henson]
585
de1915e4
BM
586 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
587 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
588 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
589 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
590 [Bodo Moeller]
591
c6c34506
DSH
592 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
593 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
594 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
595 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
596 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
597 functionality.
598 [Steve Henson]

623 program.
624 [Steve Henson]
625
48c843c3
BM
626 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
627 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
628 DH parameters contain its length).
629
630 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
631 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
632 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
633 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
634 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
635 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
636 utter importance to use
637 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
638 or
639 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
640 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
641 attacks may become possible!

645 [Bodo Moeller]
646

648 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
649 [Steve Henson]
650
3e3d2ea2
DSH
651 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
652 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
653 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
654 or long name.
655 [Steve Henson]
656
770d19b8
DSH
657 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
658 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
659 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
660 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
96c2201b
BM
661 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
662 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
663 private key operations.

BM
669 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
670 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
671 to
672 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
673 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
674 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
675 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
676 the password callback is called.
96c2201b 677 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
74678cc2
BM
678
679 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
680
681 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
682 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
683 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
684 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
685 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
686 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
687 this will work.
0cceb1c7 688
664b9985
BM
689 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
690 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
691 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2e0fc875 692 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
57119943
BM
693 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
694 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
