651d0aff RE |
3 | _______________ |
4 | ||
8537943e | 5 | Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx] |
4d94ae00 | 6 | |
520b76ff DSH |
7 | *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension. |
8 | [Steve Henson] | |
9 | ||
f80153e2 DSH |
10 | *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension. |
11 | [Steve Henson] | |
12 | ||
a1d12dae DSH |
13 | *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension. |
14 | [Steve Henson] | |
15 | ||
bba2cb3a GT |
16 | *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an |
17 | ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of | |
18 | the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications | |
19 | should make sure they are passing it correctly. | |
20 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
21 | ||
879650b8 GT |
22 | *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its |
23 | dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL, | |
24 | and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary | |
25 | indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the | |
26 | default implementation more easily. | |
27 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
28 | ||
f0dc08e6 DSH |
29 | *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions |
30 | in config files. | |
31 | [Steve Henson] | |
32 | ||
132eaa59 RL |
33 | *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared. |
34 | Make that possible even when linking against static libraries! | |
35 | [Richard Levitte] | |
36 | ||
5562cfac DSH |
37 | *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write |
38 | flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read | |
39 | data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs. | |
40 | [Steve Henson] | |
41 | ||
27068df7 DSH |
42 | *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now |
43 | means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition | |
44 | cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming | |
45 | and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory. | |
46 | ||
e9ec6396 | 47 | This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set |
27068df7 DSH |
48 | PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing |
49 | is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in | |
50 | SMIME_write_PKCS7(). | |
51 | [Steve Henson] | |
52 | ||
2d3de726 RL |
53 | *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and |
54 | applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how | |
55 | to do it. | |
56 | [Richard Levitte] | |
57 | ||
37c660ff | 58 | *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with |
24893ca9 | 59 | precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult() |
37c660ff | 60 | will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that |
24893ca9 | 61 | makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul() |
37c660ff BM |
62 | faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication, |
63 | scalar * generator). | |
64 | [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller] | |
65 | ||
4e5d3a7f DSH |
66 | *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions |
67 | which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the | |
68 | formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed | |
69 | correctly. | |
70 | [Steve Henson] | |
71 | ||
96f7065f GT |
72 | *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key |
73 | exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from | |
74 | GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms | |
75 | cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up. | |
76 | However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could | |
77 | provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be | |
78 | specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary | |
79 | linker additions, eg; | |
80 | ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp | |
81 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
82 | ||
83 | *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when | |
84 | testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is | |
85 | produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt". | |
86 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
87 | ||
a74333f9 LJ |
88 | *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects |
89 | could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early | |
90 | enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> | |
91 | via PR#459) | |
92 | [Lutz Jaenicke] | |
93 | ||
0e4aa0d2 GT |
94 | *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD |
95 | and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal | |
96 | software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can | |
97 | also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks. | |
98 | [Geoff Thorpe] | |
99 | ||
e9224c71 GT |
100 | *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and |
101 | primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in | |
102 | place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex" | |
103 | postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for | |
104 | the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide | |
105 | declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to | |
106 | migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API | |
107 | functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return | |
108 | success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to | |
109 | help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc. | |
9d5390a0 BM |
110 | |
111 | Example for using the new callback interface: | |
112 | ||
113 | int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...; | |
114 | void *my_arg = ...; | |
115 | BN_GENCB my_cb; | |
116 | ||
117 | BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg); | |
118 | ||
119 | return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb); | |
120 | /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the | |
121 | * documentation of the function that calls the callback. | |
122 | * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg. | |
123 | * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex() | |
124 | * to continue, or 0 to stop. | |
125 | */ | |
126 | ||
e9224c71 GT |
127 | [Geoff Thorpe] |
128 | ||
fdaea9ed RL |
129 | *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it |
130 | available to TLS with the number defined in | |
131 | draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt. | |
132 | [Richard Levitte] | |
133 | ||
20199ca8 RL |
134 | *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which |
135 | is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf): | |
136 | ||
137 | CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE { | |
9d5390a0 BM |
138 | forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL, |
139 | reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL, | |
140 | -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- } | |
20199ca8 RL |
141 | |
142 | Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate | |
143 | pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR". | |
144 | ||
145 | This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP | |
146 | attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as | |
147 | well. | |
148 | [Richard Levitte] | |
149 | ||
6f17f16f RL |
150 | *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in |
151 | Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake. | |
152 | [Richard Levitte] | |
153 | ||
b53e44e5 BM |
154 | *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like |
155 | functions | |
156 | ||
157 | void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg); | |
158 | int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a); | |
159 | ||
160 | and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications. | |
161 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
162 | ||
5c6bf031 BM |
163 | *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes |
164 | used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c). | |
165 | EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this | |
166 | if applicable. | |
167 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
168 | ||
19b8d06a BM |
169 | *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN). |
170 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
171 | ||
6f7c2cb3 RL |
172 | *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines |
173 | dynamically from specific directories unless they could be | |
174 | found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the | |
175 | current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new | |
176 | directory engines/. | |
177 | The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if | |
178 | the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config. | |
179 | Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a. | |
180 | /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic | |
874fee47 RL |
181 | engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through |
182 | the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run | |
183 | time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES. | |
6f7c2cb3 RL |
184 | [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte] |
185 | ||
30afcc07 RL |
186 | *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared |
187 | libraries. Addapt Makefile.org. | |
188 | [Richard Levitte] | |
189 | ||
fc6a6a10 DSH |
190 | *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs. |
191 | [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>] | |
192 | ||
9a48b07e DSH |
193 | *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys |
194 | can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12 | |
195 | files while avoiding the low level API. | |
196 | ||
197 | New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and | |
198 | will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption | |
199 | algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac | |
200 | iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac. | |
201 | ||
202 | Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts | |
203 | options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac | |
204 | to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm. | |
205 | New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create() | |
206 | instead of the low level API. | |
207 | [Steve Henson] | |
208 | ||
230fd6b7 DSH |
209 | *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed |
210 | encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in | |
211 | this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length | |
212 | encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to | |
213 | be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming | |
214 | PKCS#7 code. | |
215 | ||
216 | Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed | |
217 | down to the template encoder. | |
218 | [Steve Henson] | |
219 | ||
9226e218 BM |
220 | *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not |
221 | recognized instead of using RSA as a default. | |
222 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
223 | ||
ea262260 BM |
224 | *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt. |
225 | As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL"; | |
226 | the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them. | |
227 | [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
228 | ||
e172d60d BM |
229 | *) Add ECDH engine support. |
230 | [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
231 | ||
232 | *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/. | |
233 | [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
234 | ||
95ecacf8 BM |
235 | *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations |
236 | without success (which indicates a broken PRNG). | |
237 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
238 | ||
6fb60a84 BM |
239 | *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value |
240 | is really the square of the return value. (Previously, | |
241 | BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.) | |
242 | [Bodo Moeller] | |
243 | ||
7793f30e BM |
244 | *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG, |
245 | and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing. | |
246 | ||
247 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
248 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
249 | ||
250 | *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields | |
251 | (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/). | |
252 | New EC_METHOD: | |
253 | ||
254 | EC_GF2m_simple_method | |
255 | ||
256 | New API functions: | |
257 | ||
258 | EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m | |
259 | EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m | |
260 | EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m | |
7793f30e BM |
261 | EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m |
262 | EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m | |
263 | EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m | |
264 | ||
265 | Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for | |
266 | patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to | |
267 | enable it). | |
268 | ||
269 | As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members | |
270 | of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared | |
271 | between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields; | |
272 | the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m) | |
273 | are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts. | |
9e4f9b36 BM |
274 | (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from |
275 | various internal method names.) | |
7793f30e BM |
276 | |
277 | An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and | |
278 | 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields. | |
279 | ||
280 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
281 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
282 | ||
9e4f9b36 | 283 | *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult() |
7793f30e BM |
284 | through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult'). |
285 | ||
286 | The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul' | |
287 | and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these | |
288 | methods are undefined. | |
289 | ||
290 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
291 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
292 | ||
293 | *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through | |
294 | EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit | |
295 | length of the modulus. | |
296 | ||
297 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
298 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
299 | ||
300 | *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup. | |
301 | (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy). | |
302 | ||
303 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
304 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
305 | ||
1dc920c8 BM |
306 | *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c. |
307 | Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not | |
308 | used) in the following functions [macros]: | |
309 | ||
310 | BN_GF2m_add | |
311 | BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add] | |
312 | BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr] | |
313 | BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr] | |
314 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr] | |
315 | BN_GF2m_mod_inv | |
316 | BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr] | |
317 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr] | |
318 | BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr] | |
319 | BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp] | |
320 | ||
321 | (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m). | |
322 | BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.) | |
323 | ||
324 | For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a | |
325 | field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly | |
326 | decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set; | |
327 | i.e., p[] represents the polynomial | |
328 | f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k] | |
329 | where | |
330 | p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0. | |
331 | This applies to the following functions: | |
332 | ||
333 | BN_GF2m_mod_arr | |
334 | BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr | |
335 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr | |
336 | BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv] | |
337 | BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div] | |
338 | BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr | |
339 | BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr | |
340 | BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr | |
341 | BN_GF2m_poly2arr | |
342 | BN_GF2m_arr2poly | |
343 | ||
344 | Conversion can be performed by the following functions: | |
345 | ||
346 | BN_GF2m_poly2arr | |
347 | BN_GF2m_arr2poly | |
348 | ||
349 | bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic. | |
350 | ||
909abce8 BM |
351 | Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available. |
352 | The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and | |
353 | BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only | |
354 | if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the | |
355 | copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it). | |
1dc920c8 BM |
356 | |
357 | [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila | |
358 | (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)] | |
359 | ||
16dc1cfb BM |
360 | *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some |
361 | functionality is disabled at compile-time. | |
362 | [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>] | |
363 | ||
ea4f109c BM |
364 | *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more |
365 | information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate: | |
366 | ||
367 | Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump' | |
368 | mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a | |
369 | style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to | |
370 | avoid the appearance of a printable string. | |
371 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
372 | ||
254ef80d BM |
373 | *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access |
374 | functions | |
375 | EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag() | |
376 | EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag() | |
377 | EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form() | |
378 | EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form() | |
379 | These control ASN1 encoding details: | |
b8e0e123 BM |
380 | - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag |
381 | has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE. | |
5f3d6f70 | 382 | - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for |
254ef80d BM |
383 | asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely |
384 | POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED | |
385 | POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED | |
386 | POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID | |
5f3d6f70 BM |
387 | |
388 | Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access | |
389 | functions | |
390 | EC_GROUP_set_seed() | |
391 | EC_GROUP_get0_seed() | |
392 | EC_GROUP_get_seed_len() | |
393 | This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far). | |
458c2917 BM |
394 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] |
395 | ||
396 | *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID | |
397 | of the appropriate field type OID. The new function | |
398 | EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value. | |
399 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
400 | ||
6cbe6382 BM |
401 | *) Add functions |
402 | EC_POINT_point2bn() | |
403 | EC_POINT_bn2point() | |
404 | EC_POINT_point2hex() | |
405 | EC_POINT_hex2point() | |
406 | providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and | |
407 | EC_POINT_oct2point(). | |
408 | [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>] | |
409 | ||
b6db386f BM |
410 | *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions |
411 | EC_GROUP_set_generator() | |

513 | be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway. | |

529 | *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building. |
530 | Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in | |
531 | ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the | |
532 | correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result. | |
533 | ||
534 | Now the chain builder is disabled if either: | |
535 | ||
536 | 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(). | |
537 | ||
538 | 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set. | |
539 | ||
540 | The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the | |
541 | auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are | |
542 | present and it might also want a means of sending no additional | |
543 | certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the | |
544 | root is omitted). | |
