9ac42ed8
RL
7 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example if memory
11 pool implementations, or something else. The same is provided for
12 memory debugging code. OpenSSL already comes with code that finds
13 memory leaks, but this gives people a chance to debug other memory
14 problems.
15 [Richard Levitte]
16
b216664f
DSH
17 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
18 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
19 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
20 algorithm.
21 [Steve Henson]
22
d8223efd
DSH
23 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
24 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
25 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
26
5a9a4b29
DSH
27 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
28 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
29 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
30 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
31 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
32 included in OpenSSL.
33 [Steve Henson]
34
cddfe788
BM
35 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
36 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
37 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
38 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
39 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
40 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
41 [Bodo Moeller]
42
21131f00
DSH
43 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
44 PKCS12 structure.
45 [Steve Henson]
46
dd413410
DSH
47 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
48 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
49 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
50 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
51 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
52 structure.
53 [Steve Henson]
54
55 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
56 need initialising.
57 [Steve Henson]
58
08cba610
DSH
59 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
60 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
61 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
62 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
63 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
64 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
65 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
66 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
67 be maintained manually.
68
69 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
70 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
71 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
72 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
73 work because people forget to call this function]
74 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
75 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
76 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
77 [Steve Henson]
78
fea9afbf
BL
79 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
80 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
81 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
82 should be discouraged from doing it.
83 [Ben Laurie]
84
9868232a
DSH
85 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
86 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
87 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
88 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
89 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
90 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
91 [Steve Henson]
92
51630a37
DSH
93 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
94 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
95 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
96
97 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
bb7cd4e3
DSH
98 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
99 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
51630a37
DSH
100
101 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
102 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
103 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
104 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
105 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
106 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11262391
DSH
107
108 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
109 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
110 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
d4cec6a1 111
bb7cd4e3
DSH
112 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
113 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
114 and vice versa.
115
d4cec6a1
DSH
116 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
117 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
118 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
119 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11262391
DSH
120 [Steve Henson]
121
122 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6d3724d3
DSH
123 [Steve Henson]
124
52664f50
DSH
125 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
126 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
127 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
128 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
129 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
130 these are retained for compatability: however the DSA variants were
131 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
132 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
133 keys so we should be OK.
134
135 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
136 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
137 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
138 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
139 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
140 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
141 stay in the name of compatability.
142
143 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
144 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
145 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
146
147 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
148 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*() and add
149 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*()
150 except they up the reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow"
151 the supplied key).
152 [Steve Henson]
153
154 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
155 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
156 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
157 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
158 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
159 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
160 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
161 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
162 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
163 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
164 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
165 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
166 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
167 [Steve Henson]
168
a716d727
DSH
169 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
170 [Steve Henson]
171
f76d8c47
DSH
172 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
173 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
174 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
175 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
176 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
177 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
178 single self signed certificate. This means that:
179 openssl verify ss.pem
180 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
181 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
182 is OK.
183 [Steve Henson]
184
b1fe6ca1
BM
185 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
186 (and add it to external session representation).
187 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
188 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
189 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
190 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
191 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
192 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
193 security holes.
194 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
195
91895a59
DSH
196 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
197 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
198 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
f76d8c47 199 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
91895a59 200
fd699ac5
DSH
201 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
202 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
203 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
204 [Steve Henson]
205
e947f396
DSH
206 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
207 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
208 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
209 code.
210 [Steve Henson]
211
b7cfcfb7
MC
212 *) Correctly increment the reference count in the SSL_SESSION pointer
213 returned from SSL_get_session().
214 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
215
06556a17
DSH
216 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
217 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
218 certificate auxiliary information.
219 [Steve Henson]
220
a0e9f529
DSH
221 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
222 the 'enc' command.
223 [Steve Henson]
224
71d7526b
RL
225 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
226 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
227 allocation was originated. Also updated sid code to be multi-
228 thread-safe.
229 [Richard Levitte]
230
a0e9f529 231 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
954ef7ef
DSH
232 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
233 [Steve Henson]
234
af29811e
DSH
235 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
236 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
237 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
238 manpages and fix a few bugs.
239 [Steve Henson]
240
aba3e65f
DSH
241 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
242 [Steve Henson]
243
a0ad17bb
DSH
244 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
245 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
246 [Steve Henson]
247
ce1b4fe1
DSH
248 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
249 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
250 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
251 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
252 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
253 doing things this way a fair degree of compatability can be
254 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
255 using the new 'x509' options.
256
257 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
258 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
259 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
260 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
261 for all purposes.
262 [Steve Henson]
263
ce2c95b2
MC
264 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD). The
265 problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working since
266 SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced with
267 non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95% performance
268 improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
269 [Mark Cox]
270
9716a8f9
DSH
271 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
272 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
273 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
274 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
275 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
276 the effective key length. In this case the effective key lenth can still
277 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
278 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
279 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
280 the key length and effective key length are equal.
281 [Steve Henson]
282
74400f73
DSH
283 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
284 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
285 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
286 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
287 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
288 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
289 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
290 [Steve Henson]
291
292 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
293 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
294 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
295 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
296 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
297 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
298 openssl.cnf for more info.
299 [Steve Henson]
300
c1e744b9 301 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
62ac2938 302 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
c1e744b9
BM
303 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
304 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
305 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
306 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
307 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
308 md should be large enough anyway.
309 [Bodo Moeller]
310
a31011e8
BM
311 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
312 for handling the random seed file.
313
314 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
315 ca,
316 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its `-rand' option),
317 s_client,
318 s_server,
319 x509 (when signing).
320 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
321 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
99e87569 322 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
a31011e8
BM
323
324 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
325 of each file listed in the `-rand' option. The function as previously
326 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
327 that support `-rand'.
328 [Bodo Moeller]
329
330 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
331 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
332 [Bodo Moeller]
333
334 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
335 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
336 [Bill Perry]
337
462f79ec
DSH
338 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
339 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
340 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
341 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
342 is suitable.
343 [Steve Henson]
344
08e9c1af
DSH
345 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
346 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
347 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
348 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
349 [Steve Henson]
350
673b102c
DSH
351 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
352 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
353 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
354 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
355 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
356 print out all the purposes.
357 [Steve Henson]
358
56a3fec1
DSH
359 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
360 functions.
361 [Steve Henson]
362
4654ef98
DSH
363 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
364 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
365 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
366 single function call.
367 [Steve Henson]
368
7e102e28
AP
369 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
370 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
371 [Andy Polyakov]
372
d71c6bc5
DSH
373 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
374 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
375 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
376 [Steve Henson]
377
2d681b77
DSH
378 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
379 when producing the local key id.
380 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
381
3908cdf4
DSH
382 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
383 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
384 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
385 "server.pem".
386 [Steve Henson]
387
3ea23631
DSH
388 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
389 a public key to be input or output. For example:
390 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
391 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
392 [Steve Henson]
393
393f2c65
DSH
394 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
395 in the message. This was handled by allowing
396 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
397 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
398
399 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
400 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
401 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
402 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
403
4579dd5d
DSH
404 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
405 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
406 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
407 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
408 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
409 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
410 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
411 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
412 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
413 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
414 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
415 trivial: move one line.
416 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
417
06f4536a
DSH
418 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
419 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
420 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
421 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
422 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
423 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
424 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
425 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
426 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
427 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
428 with an event loop for example.
429 [Steve Henson]
430
1c80019a
DSH
431 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
432 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
433 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
434 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
435 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
436 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
437 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
438 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
439 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
440 [Steve Henson]
441
090d848e
DSH
442 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
443 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
444 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
445 no longer acesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
446 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
447 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.

450 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
451 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
452 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
453 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
454
4a61a64f
DSH
455 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
456 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
457 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
458 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
459 key generation.
460 [Steve Henson]
461
c1082a90 462 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.

464 [Bodo Moeller]
465
a785abc3
DSH
466 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
467 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
468 [Steve Henson]
469
aef838fc
DSH
470 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
471 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
472 [Steve Henson]
473
074309b7
BM
474 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
475 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
476 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
477 [Bodo Moeller]
478
8ce97163
DSH
479 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
480 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
481 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
482 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
483 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
484 [Steve Henson]
485
2d4287da
AP
486 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
487 [Andy Polyakov]
488
87a25f90
DSH
489 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
490 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
491 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
492 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
493 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
494 in ca.
495 [Steve Henson]
496
f9150e54
DSH
497 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
498 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
499 1.OU="Unit name 1"
500 2.OU="Unit name 2"
501 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
502 [Steve Henson]
503
c79b16e1
DSH
504 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
505 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
506 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
507 are otherwise ignored at present.
508 [Steve Henson]
509
96c2201b 510 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
0f7e6fe1 511 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7b65c329
DSH
512 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
513 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
514 copied until the next read.
515 [Steve Henson]
516
13066cee
DSH
517 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
518 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
519 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
520 [Steve Henson]
521
c0711f7f
DSH
522 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
523 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
524 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
525 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
526 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
527 associated functions.
528 [Steve Henson]
529
8484721a
DSH
530 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
531 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
532 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
533 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
534 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
535 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
536 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
537 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
538 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
539 memory BIOSs.
540 [Steve Henson]
541
de1915e4
BM
542 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
543 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
544 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
545 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
546 [Bodo Moeller]
547
c6c34506
DSH
548 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
549 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
550 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
551 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
552 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
553 functionality.
554 [Steve Henson]
555
fd520577
DSH
556 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
557 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
558 under Win32.
559 [Steve Henson]
560
87c49f62 561 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
fd520577
DSH
562 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
563 extensions to be obtained and added.
87c49f62

566 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
567 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
568 [Bodo Moeller]
569
9a577e29 570 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
dfbaf956 571
9a577e29 572 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.

575 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
576 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
577
ed7f60fb
DSH
578 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
579 program.
580 [Steve Henson]
581
48c843c3
BM
582 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
583 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
584 DH parameters contain its length).
585
586 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
587 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
588 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
589 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
590 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
591 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
592 utter importance to use
593 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
594 or
595 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
596 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
597 attacks may become possible!
598 [Bodo Moeller]
599
600 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
601 [Bodo Moeller]
602
922180d7
DSH
603 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
604 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
605 [Steve Henson]
606
3e3d2ea2
DSH
607 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
608 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
609 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
610 or long name.
611 [Steve Henson]
612
770d19b8
DSH
613 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
614 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
615 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
616 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
96c2201b
BM
617 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
618 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
619 private key operations.
770d19b8
DSH
620 [Steve Henson]
621
a0618e3e
AP
622 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
623 [Andy Polyakov]
624
74678cc2
BM
625 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
626 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
627 to
628 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
629 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
630 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
631 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
632 the password callback is called.
96c2201b 633 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
74678cc2
BM
634
635 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
636
637 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
638 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
639 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
640 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
641 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
642 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
643 this will work.
0cceb1c7 644
664b9985
BM
645 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
646 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
647 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
2e0fc875 648 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
57119943
BM
649 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
650 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
664b9985

AP
653 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
654 [Andy Polyakov]

656 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
657 delete an unused file.
