5 | Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002] |
| 6 | ||
| 254ef80d BM |
7 | *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access |
| 8 | functions | |
| 9 | EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag() | |
| 10 | EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag() | |
| 11 | EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form() | |
| 12 | EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form() | |
| 13 | These control ASN1 encoding details: | |
| b8e0e123 BM |
14 | - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag |
| 15 | has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE. | |
| 5f3d6f70 | 16 | - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for |
| 254ef80d BM |
17 | asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely |
| 18 | POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED | |
| 19 | POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED | |
| 20 | POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID | |
| 5f3d6f70 BM |
21 | |
| 22 | Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access | |
| 23 | functions | |
| 24 | EC_GROUP_set_seed() | |
| 25 | EC_GROUP_get0_seed() | |
| 26 | EC_GROUP_get_seed_len() | |
| 27 | This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far). | |
| 458c2917 BM |
28 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID | |
| 31 | of the appropriate field type OID. The new function | |
| 32 | EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value. | |
| 33 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
| 34 | ||
| 6cbe6382 BM |
35 | *) Add functions |
| 36 | EC_POINT_point2bn() | |
| 37 | EC_POINT_bn2point() | |
| 38 | EC_POINT_point2hex() | |
| 39 | EC_POINT_hex2point() | |
| 40 | providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and | |
| 41 | EC_POINT_oct2point(). | |
| 42 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
| 43 | ||
| b6db386f BM |
44 | *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions |
| 45 | EC_GROUP_set_generator() | |
| 46 | EC_GROUP_get_generator() | |
| 47 | EC_GROUP_get_order() | |
| 48 | EC_GROUP_get_cofactor() | |
| 49 | are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched | |
| 50 | to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when | |
| 51 | adding different types of curves. | |
| 6cbe6382 | 52 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller] |
| b6db386f | 53 | |
| 47234cd3 BM |
54 | *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM |
| 55 | arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated | |
| 56 | (which avoid length expansion in many cases). | |
| 57 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
| 58 | ||
| 82652aaf BM |
59 | *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via |
| 60 | EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests | |
| 63 | on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes | |
| 64 | EC_GROUP_check_discriminant(). | |
| 65 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
| 66 | ||
| 4d94ae00 BM |
67 | *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/. |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa' | |
| 70 | (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa'). | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the | |
| 73 | library. Most notably, | |
| 74 | - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option; | |
| 75 | - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA; | |
| 76 | - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and | |
| 77 | d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make | |
| 78 | them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be | |
| 79 | extracted before the specific public key. | |
| f8e21776 | 80 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] |
| 4d94ae00 | 81 | |
| af28dd6c BM |
82 | *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62, |
| 83 | SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new | |
| 84 | functions | |
| 4d94ae00 BM |
85 | EC_GROUP_new_by_nid() |
| 86 | EC_GROUP_new_by_name() | |
| 254ef80d BM |
87 | Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be |
| 88 | accessed via | |
| 4d94ae00 BM |
89 | EC_GROUP_set_nid() |
| 90 | EC_GROUP_get_nid() | |
| 91 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller] | |

95 | *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string |
| 96 | pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible | |
| 97 | the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string | |
| 98 | data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values. | |
