Plans for nettle-3.2

New features

-

- "CRT-hardened" RSA secret key operations. Check that the result of - rsa_compute_root is correct. Should be easy for the - rsa_pkcs1_sign_tr and rsa_decrypt_tr functions, other RSA - functions would need interface changes. -

-

- Add larger "safe" curves, e.g., M-383, curve41417 and E-521. +

+ Add larger "safe" curves, e.g., M-383, curve41417, curve448 and + E-521.

-

+

Add functions for converting ECC points to and from ANSI x9.62.

-

+

Use side-channel silent GMP functions for RSA and DSA. May require additional interface changes, to use mpn functions.

-

+

Side-channel silent mem_equalp.

Optimizations

-

+

Assembly optimizations for ARMv8 (64-bit).

-

+

Further optimizations of curve25519 and EdDSA, in particular, - radix 51 modp operations, - and more + + more efficient point addition.

Miscellaneous

-

+

Use more functions from GMP-6 and later, when available: mpn_sec_add_1, mpn_sec_tabselect, mpn_sec_invert, mpn_cnd_swap, ... @@ -79,7 +74,7 @@

Build system
