This copies a cipher + context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in + case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to + output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL. + [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>] + + *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the + compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining + it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option + to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request: + some responders need this. + [Steve Henson] + + *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code + correctly. + [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>] + + *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it + needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and + didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration. + [Steve Henson] + + *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to + indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible + to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result + of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so + it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio + when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which + included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified + or they could free up already freed BIOs. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni + renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was + done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash). + [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>] + + *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS. + [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>] + + *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't + be used on C++. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to + retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update + EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest + or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all + registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually + attempting to work them out. + [Steve Henson] + + *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello: + this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher + string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2 + by default unless an application cipher string requests it. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local + key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files + don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails. + Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key + then look for the first certificate that matches the key. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher + commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now + you can do: + + openssl sha256 foo + + as well as: + + openssl dgst -sha256 foo + + and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too. + + [Steve Henson] + + *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files. + [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>] + + *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility. + [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson] + + *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new + form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work + even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form + is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should + be used to rebuild symbolic links. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the + traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't + include an implicit MD5 dependency. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code + committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST. + [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>] + + *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented + in an ENGINE errors can occur. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated + by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?), + OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING, + CONF_VALUE. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and + seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS + specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such + as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures + and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing + X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate + and search any appropriate delta CRLs available. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing + code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths + as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation + error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use + the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not + NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont + see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by + default. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for freshest CRL extension. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs + passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer + CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name + and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer + certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if + an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional + CRL functionality in future. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add support for policy mappings extension. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling, + policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS + and URI types are currently supported. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather + than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and + replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This + mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in + either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long', + mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it + can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno" + as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads. + + Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use + CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call + either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer(). + + Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied + to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0) + to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by + ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL). + + (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(), + CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in + OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an + application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that + was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might + have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the + intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the + case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use + of &errno.) + [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller] + + *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a + simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and + the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come: + TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, + ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer + RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL. + [Nick Mathewson] + + *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come: + STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort. + [Ben Laurie] + + *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based + on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility, + support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and + encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against + RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many + content types and variants. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language + files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32. + The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source + files from the associated perl scripts. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites. + Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations. + [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>] + + *) s390x assembler pack. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU + "family." + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in + draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an + official specification yet and no extension type assignment by + IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly + enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number + to use. For example, specify an option + + -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527 + + to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension, + assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary + and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet + Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose + interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might + be using the same extension number for other purposes. + + SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the + opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create + an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will + return non-zero for success. + + To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function + by using + + SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb) + SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg) + + where + + int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg); + void *arg; + + Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is + expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate. + Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to + SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly + be provided to the callback function). The callback function + has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque + PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF + input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake + if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated. + + Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function + will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will + see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if + available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server + provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the + length of the client's opaque PRF input. + + Note that the callback function will only be called when creating + a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was + previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0 + handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or + SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended + for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input. + + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake + MAC. + + [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>] + + *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in + RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded + SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically + supported. + + If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure + support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded + SSL_SESSION. + + The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket + protection in servers so again support should be possible + with no application modification. + + If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option + SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set. + + Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client + or server extensions to be examined. + + This work was sponsored by Google. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL. + OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2 + [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson] + + *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC + support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST + ciphersuite support. + [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson] + + *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New + function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream() + to output in BER and PEM format. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This + allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The + EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing + ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and + -macopt options to dgst utility. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use + EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use + alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst + utility. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does + the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling + ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or + removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains + the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites + that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay + in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority + than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are + enabled again. + + This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable + the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific + order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the + most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed). + + Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new + funcionality) such that between otherwise identical + cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in + the default order. + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically + arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting + to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT" + (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but + remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH". + This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order + in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning + that you can't actually use DEFAULT). + [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni] + + *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string + processing) into multiple integers instead of setting + "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK", + "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer. + (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden + away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this + change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't + affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these + categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and + AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128 + and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all + kinds of kludges. + + Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and + 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking + out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9. + + With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that + so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and + "CAMELLIA256". + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256. + Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is + larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q). + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses + it yet and it is largely untested. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types. + [Nils Larsch] + + *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL + some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is + reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2. + [Andy Polyakov] + + *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected + to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling + efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing + the CRL revoked certificates in a database. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so + new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option + -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors + to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter + what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave. + [Steve Henson] + + *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats. + Kindly donated by Cryptocom. + [Cryptocom] + + *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs + partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning + (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is + selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which + will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the + X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative + lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names. + Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally + this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by + a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL + extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name) + this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure. + Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp + utility. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using + the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG. + [Steve Henson] + + *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the + EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN + ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing + if necessary. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs + to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free() + to free up any added signature OIDs. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(), + EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal + digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility: + list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list + of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1. + Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the + value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to + polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes + the array representation useful in a more general context. + [Douglas Stebila] + + *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string + handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH + with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates + on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The + unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed. + + For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH" + (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH + certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH + authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is + merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the + protocol). + + The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer + available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL" + and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492 + ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case: + + kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA + kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA + kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA) + kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH + ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH + + aECDH - ECDH cert + aECDSA - ECDSA cert + ECDSA - ECDSA cert + + AECDH - anonymous ECDH + EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH") + + [Bodo Moeller] + + *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported. + Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process + an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit + an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and + functional reference processing. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of + EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature + process. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers + to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an + alternative message digest algorithm for signing. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to + create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime + application to support multiple signers. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative + digest MAC. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC. + Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs, + add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl: + EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative + PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the + new API. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now + supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A + ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify + the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is + a no op. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express + a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some + algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The + return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and + 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify + ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should + use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest + type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New + EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant + signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link + between digests and public key types. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to + translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1, + rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery + needed to use the correct OID to be removed. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO + structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public + key ASN1 method. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and + pkeyutl. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support + public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional + command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be + generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in + pkey, genpkey. + [Steve Henson] + + *) BeOS support. + [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>] + + *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the + manual pages. + [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>] + + *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can + generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to + support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation + functionality for RSA. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented + functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to + EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public + key API, doesn't do much yet. + [Steve Henson] + + *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about + public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility: + "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for + ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt. + [Douglas Stebila] + + *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or + EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup(). + [Steve Henson] + + *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific + utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key + type. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New + functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(), + EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY + structure. + [Steve Henson] + + *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1. + De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling.
