3 | _______________ |
4 | ||
4d94ae00 BM |
5 | Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002] |
6 | ||
30afcc07 RL |
7 | *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared |
8 | libraries. Addapt Makefile.org. | |
9 | [Richard Levitte] | |
10 | ||
fc6a6a10 DSH |
11 | *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs. |
12 | [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>] | |
13 | ||
9a48b07e DSH |
14 | *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys |
15 | can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12 | |
16 | files while avoiding the low level API. | |
17 | ||
18 | New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and | |
19 | will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption | |
20 | algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac | |
21 | iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac. | |
22 | ||
23 | Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts | |
24 | options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac | |
25 | to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm. | |
26 | New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create() | |
27 | instead of the low level API. | |
28 | [Steve Henson] | |
29 | ||
230fd6b7 DSH |
30 | *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed |
31 | encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in | |
32 | this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length | |
33 | encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to | |
34 | be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming | |
35 | PKCS#7 code. | |
36 | ||
37 | Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed | |
38 | down to the template encoder. | |
39 | [Steve Henson] | |
40 | ||
9226e218 BM |
41 | *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not |
42 | recognized instead of using RSA as a default. | |
43 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
44 | ||
ea262260 BM |
45 | *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt. |
46 | As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL"; | |
47 | the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them. | |
48 | [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
49 | ||
e172d60d BM |
50 | *) Add ECDH engine support. |
51 | [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
52 | ||
53 | *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/. | |
49a0f778 BM |
54 | TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash) |
55 | TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary | |
e172d60d BM |
56 | [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] |
57 | ||
95ecacf8 BM |
58 | *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations |
59 | without success (which indicates a broken PRNG). | |
60 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
61 | ||
6fb60a84 BM |
62 | *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value |
63 | is really the square of the return value. (Previously, | |
64 | BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.) | |
65 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
66 | ||
7793f30e BM |
67 | *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG, |
68 | and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing. | |
69 | ||
70 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
71 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
72 | ||
73 | *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields | |
74 | (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/). | |
75 | New EC_METHOD: | |
76 | ||
77 | EC_GF2m_simple_method | |
78 | ||
79 | New API functions: | |
80 | ||
81 | EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m | |
82 | EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m | |
83 | EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m | |
7793f30e BM |
84 | EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m |
85 | EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m | |
86 | EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m | |
87 | ||
88 | Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for | |
89 | patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to | |
90 | enable it). | |
91 | ||
92 | As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members | |
93 | of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared | |
94 | between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields; | |
95 | the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m) | |
96 | are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts. | |
9e4f9b36 BM |
97 | (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from |
98 | various internal method names.) | |
7793f30e BM |
99 | |
100 | An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and | |
101 | 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields. | |
102 | ||
103 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
104 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
105 | ||
9e4f9b36 | 106 | *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult() |
7793f30e BM |
107 | through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult'). |
108 | ||
109 | The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul' | |
110 | and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these | |
111 | methods are undefined. | |
112 | ||
113 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
114 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
115 | ||
116 | *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through | |
117 | EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit | |
118 | length of the modulus. | |
119 | ||
120 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
121 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
122 | ||
123 | *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup. | |
124 | (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy). | |
125 | ||
126 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
127 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
128 | ||
1dc920c8 BM |
129 | *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c. |
130 | Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not | |
131 | used) in the following functions [macros]: | |
132 | ||
133 | BN_GF2m_add | |
134 | BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add] | |
135 | BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr] | |
136 | BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr] | |
137 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr] | |
138 | BN_GF2m_mod_inv | |
139 | BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr] | |
140 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr] | |
141 | BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr] | |
142 | BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp] | |
143 | ||
144 | (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m). | |
145 | BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.) | |
146 | ||
147 | For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a | |
148 | field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly | |
149 | decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set; | |
150 | i.e., p[] represents the polynomial | |
151 | f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k] | |
152 | where | |
153 | p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0. | |
154 | This applies to the following functions: | |
155 | ||
156 | BN_GF2m_mod_arr | |
157 | BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr | |
158 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr | |
159 | BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv] | |
160 | BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div] | |
161 | BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr | |
162 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr | |
163 | BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr | |
164 | BN_GF2m_poly2arr | |
165 | BN_GF2m_arr2poly | |
166 | ||
167 | Conversion can be performed by the following functions: | |
168 | ||
169 | BN_GF2m_poly2arr | |
170 | BN_GF2m_arr2poly | |
171 | ||
172 | bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic. | |
173 | ||
909abce8 BM |
174 | Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available. |
175 | The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and | |
176 | BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only | |
177 | if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the | |
178 | copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it). | |
1dc920c8 BM |
179 | |
180 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
181 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
182 | ||
16dc1cfb BM |
183 | *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some |
184 | functionality is disabled at compile-time. | |
185 | [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>] | |
186 | ||
ea4f109c BM |
187 | *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more |
188 | information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate: | |
189 | ||
190 | Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump' | |
191 | mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a | |
192 | style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to | |
193 | avoid the appearance of a printable string. | |
194 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
195 | ||
254ef80d BM |
196 | *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access |
197 | functions | |
198 | EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag() | |
199 | EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag() | |
200 | EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form() | |
201 | EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form() | |
202 | These control ASN1 encoding details: | |
b8e0e123 BM |
203 | - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag |
204 | has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE. | |
5f3d6f70 | 205 | - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for |
254ef80d BM |
206 | asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely |
207 | POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED | |
208 | POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED | |
209 | POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID | |
5f3d6f70 BM |
210 | |
211 | Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access | |
212 | functions | |
213 | EC_GROUP_set_seed() | |
214 | EC_GROUP_get0_seed() | |
215 | EC_GROUP_get_seed_len() | |
216 | This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far). | |
458c2917 BM |
217 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] |
218 | ||
219 | *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID | |
220 | of the appropriate field type OID. The new function | |
221 | EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value. | |
222 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
223 | ||
6cbe6382 BM |
224 | *) Add functions |
225 | EC_POINT_point2bn() | |
226 | EC_POINT_bn2point() | |
227 | EC_POINT_point2hex() | |
228 | EC_POINT_hex2point() | |
229 | providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and | |
230 | EC_POINT_oct2point(). | |
231 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
232 | ||
b6db386f BM |
233 | *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions |
234 | EC_GROUP_set_generator() | |
235 | EC_GROUP_get_generator() | |
236 | EC_GROUP_get_order() | |
237 | EC_GROUP_get_cofactor() | |
238 | are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched | |
239 | to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when | |
240 | adding different types of curves. | |
6cbe6382 | 241 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller] |
b6db386f | 242 | |
47234cd3 BM |
243 | *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM |
244 | arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated | |
245 | (which avoid length expansion in many cases). | |
246 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
247 | ||
82652aaf BM |
248 | *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via |
249 | EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero. | |
250 | ||
251 | Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests | |
252 | on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes | |
253 | EC_GROUP_check_discriminant(). | |
254 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
255 | ||
4d94ae00 BM |
256 | *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/. |
257 | ||
5dbd3efc BM |
258 | Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa' |
259 | (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa'). | |
4d94ae00 BM |
260 | |
261 | ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the | |
262 | library. Most notably, | |
263 | - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option; | |
264 | - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA; | |
265 | - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and | |
266 | d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make | |
267 | them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be | |
e172d60d BM |
268 | extracted before the specific public key; |
269 | - ECDSA engine support has been added. | |
f8e21776 | 270 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] |
4d94ae00 | 271 | |
af28dd6c | 272 | *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62, |
ed5e37c3 | 273 | SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new |
7eb18f12 | 274 | function |
ed5e37c3 BM |
275 | EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(), |
276 | and the list of available named curves can be obtained with | |
277 | EC_get_builtin_curves(). | |
254ef80d BM |
278 | Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be |
279 | accessed via | |
4d94ae00 BM |
280 | EC_GROUP_set_nid() |
281 | EC_GROUP_get_nid() | |
282 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller] | |
283 | ||
fbe792f0 | 284 | Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002] |
dc014d43 | 285 | |
7ba3a4c3 RL |
286 | *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712. |
287 | [Richard Levitte] | |
288 | ||
ba111217 BM |
289 | *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch. |
290 | [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson] | |
291 | ||
3f6db7f5 DSH |
292 | *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1. |
293 | [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>] | |
294 | ||
295 | *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1. | |
296 | [Steve Henson] | |
297 | ||
f013c7f2 RL |
298 | *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms |
299 | have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make | |
300 | OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions. | |
301 | [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>] | |
302 | ||
648765ba | 303 | *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT |
c6ccf055 LJ |
304 | to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers, |
305 | which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher. | |
648765ba BM |
306 | |
307 | (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left | |
308 | out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption. | |
309 | "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.) | |
c6ccf055 LJ |
310 | [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller] |
311 | ||
041843e4 RL |
312 | *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build |
313 | directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent | |
314 | build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with | |
315 | some local tweaks: | |
316 | ||
317 | # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In | |
318 | # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE | |
319 | # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory. | |
320 | mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m` | |
321 | cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m` | |
322 | (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do | |
323 | mkdir -p `dirname $F` | |
324 | ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F | |
325 | done | |
326 | ||
327 | To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean" | |
328 | is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it, | |
329 | it probably means the source directory is very clean. | |
330 | [Richard Levitte] | |
331 | ||
a6c6874a GT |
332 | *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string |
333 | pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible | |
334 | the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string | |
335 | data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values. | |
336 |
