Changes between 0.8.x and 0.9.0b
|
||
|
|
||
|
10-Apr-1998
|
||
|
|
||
|
I said the next version would go out at easter, and so it shall.
|
||
|
I expect a 0.9.1 will follow with portability fixes in the next few weeks.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a quick, meet the deadline. Look to ssl-users for comments on what
|
||
|
is new etc.

eric (about to go bushwalking for the 4 day easter break :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
16-Mar-98
|
||
|
- Patch for Cray T90 from Wayne Schroeder <schroede@SDSC.EDU>
|
||
|
- Lots and lots of changes
|
||
|
|
||
|
29-Jan-98
|
||
|
- ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit()/ASN1_BIT_STRING_get_bit() from
|
||
|
Goetz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>.
|
||
|
- SSL_version() now returns SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION or
|
||
|
TLS1_VERSION.
|
||
|
|
||
|
7-Jan-98
|
||
|
- Finally reworked the cipher string to ciphers again, so it
|
||
|
works correctly
|
||
|
- All the app_data stuff is now ex_data with funcion calls to access.
|
||
|
The index is supplied by a function and 'methods' can be setup
|
||
|
for the types that are called on XXX_new/XXX_free. This lets
|
||
|
applications get notified on creation and destruction. Some of
|
||
|
the RSA methods could be implemented this way and I may do so.
|
||
|
- Oh yes, SSL under perl5 is working at the basic level.
|
||
|
|
||
|
15-Dec-97
|
||
|
- Warning - the gethostbyname cache is not fully thread safe,
|
||
|
but it should work well enough.
|
||
|
- Major internal reworking of the app_data stuff. More functions
|
||
|
but if you were accessing ->app_data directly, things will
|
||
|
stop working.
|
||
|
- The perlv5 stuff is working. Currently on message digests,
|
||
|
ciphers and the bignum library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
9-Dec-97
|
||
|
- Modified re-negotiation so that server initated re-neg
|
||
|
will cause a SSL_read() to return -1 should retry.
|
||
|
The danger otherwise was that the server and the
|
||
|
client could end up both trying to read when using non-blocking
|
||
|
sockets.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4-Dec-97
|
||
|
- Lots of small changes
|
||
|
- Fix for binaray mode in Windows for the FILE BIO, thanks to
|
||
|
Bob Denny <rdenny@dc3.com>
|
||
|
|
||
|
17-Nov-97
|
||
|
- Quite a few internal cleanups, (removal of errno, and using macros
|
||
|
defined in e_os.h).
|
||
|
- A bug in ca.c, pointed out by yasuyuki-ito@d-cruise.co.jp, where
|
||
|
the automactic naming out output files was being stuffed up.
|
||
|
|
||
|
29-Oct-97
|
||
|
- The Cast5 cipher has been added. MD5 and SHA-1 are now in assember
|
||
|
for x86.
|
||
|
|
||
|
21-Oct-97
|
||
|
- Fixed a bug in the BIO_gethostbyname() cache.
|
||
|
|
||
|
15-Oct-97
|
||
|
- cbc mode for blowfish/des/3des is now in assember. Blowfish asm
|
||
|
has also been improved. At this point in time, on the pentium,
|
||
|
md5 is %80 faster, the unoptimesed sha-1 is %79 faster,
|
||
|
des-cbc is %28 faster, des-ede3-cbc is %9 faster and blowfish-cbc
|
||
|
is %62 faster.
|
||
|
|
||
|
12-Oct-97
|
||
|
- MEM_BUF_grow() has been fixed so that it always sets the buf->length
|
||
|
to the value we are 'growing' to. Think of MEM_BUF_grow() as the
|
||
|
way to set the length value correctly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
10-Oct-97
|
||
|
- I now hash for certificate lookup on the raw DER encoded RDN (md5).
|
||
|
This breaks things again :-(. This is efficent since I cache
|
||
|
the DER encoding of the RDN.
|
||
|
- The text DN now puts in the numeric OID instead of UNKNOWN.
|
||
|
- req can now process arbitary OIDs in the config file.
|
||
|
- I've been implementing md5 in x86 asm, much faster :-).
|
||
|
- Started sha1 in x86 asm, needs more work.
|
||
|
- Quite a few speedups in the BN stuff. RSA public operation
|
||
|
has been made faster by caching the BN_MONT_CTX structure.
|
||
|
The calulating of the Ai where A*Ai === 1 mod m was rather
|
||
|
expensive. Basically a 40-50% speedup on public operations.
|
||
|
The RSA speedup is now 15% on pentiums and %20 on pentium
|
||
|
pro.
|
||
|
|
||
|
30-Sep-97
|
||
|
- After doing some profiling, I added x86 adm for bn_add_words(),
|
||
|
which just adds 2 arrays of longs together. A %10 speedup
|
||
|
for 512 and 1024 bit RSA on the pentium pro.
|
||
|
|
||
|
29-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Converted the x86 bignum assembler to us the perl scripts
|
||
|
for generation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
23-Sep-97
|
||
|
- If SSL_set_session() is passed a NULL session, it now clears the
|
||
|
current session-id.
|
||
|
|
||
|
22-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Added a '-ss_cert file' to apps/ca.c. This will sign selfsigned
|
||
|
certificates.
|
||
|
- Bug in crypto/evp/encode.c where by decoding of 65 base64
|
||
|
encoded lines, one line at a time (via a memory BIO) would report
|
||
|
EOF after the first line was decoded.
|
||
|
- Fix in X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() from
|
||
|
Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>
|
||
|
|
||
|
19-Sep-97
|
||
|
- NO_FP_API and NO_STDIO added.
|
||
|
- Put in sh config command. It auto runs Configure with the correct
|
||
|
parameters.
|
||
|
|
||
|
18-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Fix x509.c so if a DSA cert has different parameters to its parent,
|
||
|
they are left in place. Not tested yet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
16-Sep-97
|
||
|
- ssl_create_cipher_list() had some bugs, fixes from
|
||
|
Patrick Eisenacher <eisenach@stud.uni-frankfurt.de>
|
||
|
- Fixed a bug in the Base64 BIO, where it would return 1 instead
|
||
|
of -1 when end of input was encountered but should retry.
|
||
|
Basically a Base64/Memory BIO interaction problem.
|
||
|
- Added a HMAC set of functions in preporarion for TLS work.
|
||
|
|
||
|
15-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Top level makefile tweak - Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au>
|
||
|
- Prime generation spead up %25 (512 bit prime, pentium pro linux)
|
||
|
by using montgomery multiplication in the prime number test.
|
||
|
|
||
|
11-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Ugly bug in ssl3_write_bytes(). Basically if application land
|
||
|
does a SSL_write(ssl,buf,len) where len > 16k, the SSLv3 write code
|
||
|
did not check the size and tried to copy the entire buffer.
|
||
|
This would tend to cause memory overwrites since SSLv3 has
|
||
|
a maximum packet size of 16k. If your program uses
|
||
|
buffers <= 16k, you would probably never see this problem.
|
||
|
- Fixed a few errors that were cause by malloc() not returning
|
||
|
0 initialised memory..
|
||
|
- SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_CA_DN_BUG was being switched on when using
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_set_options(ssl_ctx,SSL_OP_ALL); which was a bad thing
|
||
|
since this flags stops SSLeay being able to handle client
|
||
|
cert requests correctly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
08-Sep-97
|
||
|
- SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP option added. When switched
|
||
|
on, the SSL server routines will not use a SSL_SESSION that is
|
||
|
held in it's cache. This in intended to be used with the session-id
|
||
|
callbacks so that while the session-ids are still stored in the
|
||
|
cache, the decision to use them and how to look them up can be
|
||
|
done by the callbacks. The are the 'new', 'get' and 'remove'
|
||
|
callbacks. This can be used to determine the session-id
|
||
|
to use depending on information like which port/host the connection
|
||
|
is coming from. Since the are also SSL_SESSION_set_app_data() and
|
||
|
SSL_SESSION_get_app_data() functions, the application can hold
|
||
|
information against the session-id as well.
|
||
|
|
||
|
03-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Added lookup of CRLs to the by_dir method,
|
||
|
X509_load_crl_file() also added. Basically it means you can
|
||
|
lookup CRLs via the same system used to lookup certificates.
|
||
|
- Changed things so that the X509_NAME structure can contain
|
||
|
ASN.1 BIT_STRINGS which is required for the unique
|
||
|
identifier OID.
|
||
|
- Fixed some problems with the auto flushing of the session-id
|
||
|
cache. It was not occuring on the server side.
|
||
|
|
||
|
02-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Added SSL_CTX_sess_cache_size(SSL_CTX *ctx,unsigned long size)
|
||
|
which is the maximum number of entries allowed in the
|
||
|
session-id cache. This is enforced with a simple FIFO list.
|
||
|
The default size is 20*1024 entries which is rather large :-).
|
||
|
The Timeout code is still always operating.
|
||
|
|
||
|
01-Sep-97
|
||
|
- Added an argument to all the 'generate private key/prime`
|
||
|
callbacks. It is the last parameter so this should not
|
||
|
break existing code but it is needed for C++.
|
||
|
- Added the BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL flag for the BIO_f_base64()
|
||
|
BIO. This lets the BIO read and write base64 encoded data
|
||
|
without inserting or looking for '\n' characters. The '-A'
|
||
|
flag turns this on when using apps/enc.c.
|
||
|
- RSA_NO_PADDING added to help BSAFE functionality. This is a
|
||
|
very dangerous thing to use, since RSA private key
|
||
|
operations without random padding bytes (as PKCS#1 adds) can
|
||
|
be attacked such that the private key can be revealed.
|
||
|
- ASN.1 bug and rc2-40-cbc and rc4-40 added by
|
||
|
Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>
|
||
|
|
||
|
31-Aug-97 (stuff added while I was away)
|
||
|
- Linux pthreads by Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com).
|
||
|
- RSA_flags() added allowing bypass of pub/priv match check
|
||
|
in ssl/ssl_rsa.c - Tim Hudson.
|
||
|
- A few minor bugs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.8.1 released.
|
||
|
|
||
|
19-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Server side initated dynamic renegotiation is broken. I will fix
|
||
|
it when I get back from holidays.
|
||
|
|
||
|
15-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Quite a few small changes.
|
||
|
- INVALID_SOCKET usage cleanups from Alex Kiernan <alex@hisoft.co.uk>
|
||
|
|
||
|
09-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Added 2 new values to the SSL info callback.
|
||
|
SSL_CB_START which is passed when the SSL protocol is started
|
||
|
and SSL_CB_DONE when it has finished sucsessfully.
|
||
|
|
||
|
08-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Fixed a few bugs problems in apps/req.c and crypto/asn1/x_pkey.c
|
||
|
that related to DSA public/private keys.
|
||
|
- Added all the relevent PEM and normal IO functions to support
|
||
|
reading and writing RSAPublic keys.
|
||
|
- Changed makefiles to use ${AR} instead of 'ar r'
|
||
|
|
||
|
07-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Error in ERR_remove_state() that would leave a dangling reference
|
||
|
to a free()ed location - thanks to Alex Kiernan <alex@hisoft.co.uk>
|
||
|
- s_client now prints the X509_NAMEs passed from the server
|
||
|
when requesting a client cert.
|
||
|
- Added a ssl->type, which is one of SSL_ST_CONNECT or
|
||
|
SSL_ST_ACCEPT. I had to add it so I could tell if I was
|
||
|
a connect or an accept after the handshake had finished.
|
||
|
- SSL_get_client_CA_list(SSL *s) now returns the CA names
|
||
|
passed by the server if called by a client side SSL.
|
||
|
|
||
|
05-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Bug in X509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ(), looking starting at index
|
||
|
0, not -1 :-( Fix from Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com).
|
||
|
|
||
|
04-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Fixed some things in X509_NAME_add_entry(), thanks to
|
||
|
Matthew Donald <matthew@world.net>.
|
||
|
- I had a look at the cipher section and though that it was a
|
||
|
bit confused, so I've changed it.
|
||
|
- I was not setting up the RC4-64-MD5 cipher correctly. It is
|
||
|
a MS special that appears in exported MS Money.
|
||
|
- Error in all my DH ciphers. Section 7.6.7.3 of the SSLv3
|
||
|
spec. I was missing the two byte length header for the
|
||
|
ClientDiffieHellmanPublic value. This is a packet sent from
|
||
|
the client to the server. The SSL_OP_SSLEAY_080_CLIENT_DH_BUG
|
||
|
option will enable SSLeay server side SSLv3 accept either
|
||
|
the correct or my 080 packet format.
|
||
|
- Fixed a few typos in crypto/pem.org.
|
||
|
|
||
|
02-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Alias mapping for EVP_get_(digest|cipher)byname is now
|
||
|
performed before a lookup for actual cipher. This means
|
||
|
that an alias can be used to 're-direct' a cipher or a
|
||
|
digest.
|
||
|
- ASN1_read_bio() had a bug that only showed up when using a
|
||
|
memory BIO. When EOF is reached in the memory BIO, it is
|
||
|
reported as a -1 with BIO_should_retry() set to true.
|
||
|
|
||
|
01-Jul-97
|
||
|
- Fixed an error in X509_verify_cert() caused by my
|
||
|
miss-understanding how 'do { contine } while(0);' works.
|
||
|
Thanks to Emil Sit <sit@mit.edu> for educating me :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
30-Jun-97
|
||
|
- Base64 decoding error. If the last data line did not end with
|
||
|
a '=', sometimes extra data would be returned.
|
||
|
- Another 'cut and paste' bug in x509.c related to setting up the
|
||
|
STDout BIO.
|
||
|
|
||
|
27-Jun-97
|
||
|
- apps/ciphers.c was not printing due to an editing error.
|
||
|
- Alex Kiernan <alex@hisoft.co.uk> send in a nice fix for
|
||
|
a library build error in util/mk1mf.pl
|
||
|
|
||
|
26-Jun-97
|
||
|
- Still did not have the auto 'experimental' code removal
|
||
|
script correct.
|
||
|
- A few header tweaks for Watcom 11.0 under Win32 from
|
||
|
Rolf Lindemann <Lindemann@maz-hh.de>
|
||
|
- 0 length OCTET_STRING bug in asn1_parse
|
||
|
- A minor fix with an non-existent function in the MS .def files.
|
||
|
- A few changes to the PKCS7 stuff.
|
||
|
|
||
|
25-Jun-97
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.8.0 finally it gets released.
|
||
|
|
||
|
24-Jun-97
|
||
|
Added a SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA option which causes all SSLv3 RSA keys to
|
||
|
use a temporary RSA key. This is experimental and needs some more work.
|
||
|
Fixed a few Win16 build problems.
|
||
|
|
||
|
23-Jun-97
|
||
|
SSLv3 bug. I was not doing the 'lookup' of the CERT structure
|
||
|
correctly. I was taking the SSL->ctx->default_cert when I should
|
||
|
have been using SSL->cert. The bug was in ssl/s3_srvr.c
|
||
|
|
||
|
20-Jun-97
|
||
|
X509_ATTRIBUTES were being encoded wrongly by apps/reg.c and the
|
||
|
rest of the library. Even though I had the code required to do
|
||
|
it correctly, apps/req.c was doing the wrong thing. I have fixed
|
||
|
and tested everything.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Missing a few #ifdef FIONBIO sections in crypto/bio/bss_acpt.c.
|
||
|
|
||
|
19-Jun-97
|
||
|
Fixed a bug in the SSLv2 server side first packet handling. When
|
||
|
using the non-blocking test BIO, the ssl->s2->first_packet flag
|
||
|
was being reset when a would-block failure occurred when reading
|
||
|
the first 5 bytes of the first packet. This caused the checking
|
||
|
logic to run at the wrong time and cause an error.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixed a problem with specifying cipher. If RC4-MD5 were used,
|
||
|
only the SSLv3 version would be picked up. Now this will pick
|
||
|
up both SSLv2 and SSLv3 versions. This required changing the
|
||
|
SSL_CIPHER->mask values so that they only mask the ciphers,
|
||
|
digests, authentication, export type and key-exchange algorithms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I found that when a SSLv23 session is established, a reused
|
||
|
session, of type SSLv3 was attempting to write the SSLv2
|
||
|
ciphers, which were invalid. The SSL_METHOD->put_cipher_by_char
|
||
|
method has been modified so it will only write out cipher which
|
||
|
that method knows about.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes between 0.8.0 and 0.8.1
|
||
|
|
||
|
*) Mostly bug fixes.
|
||
|
There is an Ephemeral DH cipher problem which is fixed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.8.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
This version of SSLeay has quite a lot of things different from the
|
||
|
previous version.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Basically check all callback parameters, I will be producing documentation
|
||
|
about how to use things in th future. Currently I'm just getting 080 out
|
||
|
the door. Please not that there are several ways to do everything, and
|
||
|
most of the applications in the apps directory are hybrids, some using old
|
||
|
methods and some using new methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Have a look in demos/bio for some very simple programs and
|
||
|
apps/s_client.c and apps/s_server.c for some more advanced versions.
|
||
|
Notes are definitly needed but they are a week or so away.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anyway, some quick nots from Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com)
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
Quick porting notes for moving from SSLeay-0.6.x to SSLeay-0.8.x to
|
||
|
get those people that want to move to using the new code base off to
|
||
|
a quick start.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that Eric has tidied up a lot of the areas of the API that were
|
||
|
less than desirable and renamed quite a few things (as he had to break
|
||
|
the API in lots of places anyrate). There are a whole pile of additional
|
||
|
functions for making dealing with (and creating) certificates a lot
|
||
|
cleaner.

---8<---
|
||
|
|
||
|
To maintain code that uses both SSLeay-0.6.x and SSLeay-0.8.x you could
|
||
|
use something like the following (assuming you #include "crypto.h" which
|
||
|
is something that you really should be doing).
|
||
|
|
||
|
#if SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x0800
|
||
|
#define SSLEAY8
|

buffer.h -> splits into buffer.h and bio.h so you need to include bio.h
|
||
|
too if you are working with BIO internal stuff (as distinct
|
||
|
from simply using the interface in an opaque manner)
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include "bio.h" - required along with "buffer.h" if you write
|
||
|
your own BIO routines as the buffer and bio
|
||
|
stuff that was intermixed has been separated
|
||
|
out
|
||
|
|
||
|
envelope.h -> evp.h (which should have been done ages ago)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Initialisation ... don't forget these or you end up with code that
|
||
|
is missing the bits required to do useful things (like ciphers):
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms()
|
||
|
(probably also want SSL_load_error_strings() too but you should have
|
||
|
already had that call in place)
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new() - requires an extra method parameter
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_method())
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_method())
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_method())
|
||
|
|
||
|
OR to only have the server or the client code
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_server_method())
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_server_method())
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_server_method())
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method())
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_client_method())
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_client_method())
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSL_set_default_verify_paths() ... renamed to the more appropriate
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths()
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to use client certificates then you have to add in a bit
|
||
|
of extra stuff in that a SSLv3 server sends a list of those CAs that
|
||
|
it will accept certificates from ... so you have to provide a list to
|
||
|
SSLeay otherwise certain browsers will not send client certs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx,SSL_load_client_CA_file(s_cert_file));
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
X509_NAME_oneline(X) -> X509_NAME_oneline(X,NULL,0)
|
||
|
or provide a buffer and size to copy the
|
||
|
result into
|
||
|
|
||
|
X509_add_cert -> X509_STORE_add_cert (and you might want to read the
|
||
|
notes on X509_NAME structure changes too)

|
|
||
|
VERIFICATION CODE
|
||
|
=================
|
||
|
|
||
|
The codes have all be renamed from VERIFY_ERR_* to X509_V_ERR_* to
|
||
|
more accurately reflect things.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The verification callback args are now packaged differently so that
|
||
|
extra fields for verification can be added easily in future without
|
||
|
having to break things by adding extra parameters each release :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
X509_cert_verify_error_string -> X509_verify_cert_error_string
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
BIO INTERNALS
|
||
|
=============
|
||
|
|
||
|
Eric has fixed things so that extra flags can be introduced in
|
||
|
the BIO layer in future without having to play with all the BIO
|
||
|
modules by adding in some macros.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The ugly stuff using
|
||
|
b->flags ~= (BIO_FLAGS_RW|BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY)
|
||
|
becomes
|
||
|
BIO_clear_retry_flags(b)
|
||
|
|
||
|
b->flags |= (BIO_FLAGS_READ|BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY)
|
||
|
becomes
|
||
|
BIO_set_retry_read(b)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also ... BIO_get_retry_flags(b), BIO_set_flags(b)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
OTHER THINGS
|
||
|
============
|
||
|
|
||
|
X509_NAME has been altered so that it isn't just a STACK ... the STACK
|
||
|
is now in the "entries" field ... and there are a pile of nice functions
|
||
|
for getting at the details in a much cleaner manner.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSL_CTX has been altered ... "cert" is no longer a direct member of this
|
||
|
structure ... things are now down under "cert_store" (see x509_vfy.h) and
|
||
|
things are no longer in a CERTIFICATE_CTX but instead in a X509_STORE.
|
||
|
If your code "knows" about this level of detail then it will need some
|
||
|
surgery.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you depending on the incorrect spelling of a number of the error codes
|
||
|
then you will have to change your code as these have been fixed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
ENV_CIPHER "type" got renamed to "nid" and as that is what it actually
|
||
|
has been all along so this makes things clearer.
|
||
|
ify_cert_error_string(ctx->error));
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSL_R_NO_CIPHER_WE_TRUST -> SSL_R_NO_CIPHER_LIST
|
||
|
and SSL_R_REUSE_CIPHER_LIST_NOT_ZERO
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes between 0.7.x and 0.8.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
*) There have been lots of changes, mostly the addition of SSLv3.
|
||
|
There have been many additions from people and amongst
|
||
|
others, C2Net has assisted greatly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changes between 0.7.x and 0.7.x
|
||
|
|
||
|
*) Internal development version only
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.6.6 13-Jan-1997
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main additions are
|
||
|
|
||
|
- assember for x86 DES improvments.
|
||
|
From 191,000 per second on a pentium 100, I now get 281,000. The inner
|
||
|
loop and the IP/FP modifications are from
|
||
|
Svend Olaf Mikkelsen <svolaf@inet.uni-c.dk>. Many thanks for his
|
||
|
contribution.
|
||
|
- The 'DES macros' introduced in 0.6.5 now have 3 types.
|
||
|
DES_PTR1, DES_PTR2 and 'normal'. As per before, des_opts reports which
|
||
|
is best and there is a summery of mine in crypto/des/options.txt
|
||
|
- A few bug fixes.
|
||
|
- Added blowfish. It is not used by SSL but all the other stuff that
|
||
|
deals with ciphers can use it in either ecb, cbc, cfb64 or ofb64 modes.
|
||
|
There are 3 options for optimising Blowfish. BF_PTR, BF_PTR2 and 'normal'.
|
||
|
BF_PTR2 is pentium/x86 specific. The correct option is setup in
|
||
|
the 'Configure' script.
|
||
|
- There is now a 'get client certificate' callback which can be
|
||
|
'non-blocking'. If more details are required, let me know. It will
|
||
|
documented more in SSLv3 when I finish it.
|
||
|
- Bug fixes from 0.6.5 including the infamous 'ca' bug. The 'make test'
|
||
|
now tests the ca program.
|
||
|
- Lots of little things modified and tweaked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.6.5
|
||
|
|
||
|
After quite some time (3 months), the new release. I have been very busy
|
||
|
for the last few months and so this is mostly bug fixes and improvments.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main additions are
|
||
|
|
||
|
- assember for x86 DES. For all those gcc based systems, this is a big
|
||
|
improvement. From 117,000 DES operation a second on a pentium 100,
|
||
|
I now get 191,000. I have also reworked the C version so it
|
||
|
now gives 148,000 DESs per second.
|
||
|
- As mentioned above, the inner DES macros now have some more variant that
|
||
|
sometimes help, sometimes hinder performance. There are now 3 options
|
||
|
DES_PTR (ptr vs array lookup), DES_UNROLL (full vs partial loop unrolling)
|
||
|
and DES_RISC (a more register intensive version of the inner macro).
|
||
|
The crypto/des/des_opts.c program, when compiled and run, will give
|
||
|
an indication of the correct options to use.
|
||
|
- The BIO stuff has been improved. Read doc/bio.doc. There are now
|
||
|
modules for encryption and base64 encoding and a BIO_printf() function.
|
||
|
- The CA program will accept simple one line X509v3 extensions in the
|
||
|
ssleay.cnf file. Have a look at the example. Currently this just
|
||
|
puts the text into the certificate as an OCTET_STRING so currently
|
||
|
the more advanced X509v3 data types are not handled but this is enough
|
||
|
for the netscape extensions.
|
||
|
- There is the start of a nicer higher level interface to the X509
|
||
|
strucutre.
|
||
|
- Quite a lot of bug fixes.
|
||
|
- CRYPTO_malloc_init() (or CRYPTO_set_mem_functions()) can be used
|
||
|
to define the malloc(), free() and realloc() routines to use
|
||
|
(look in crypto/crypto.h). This is mostly needed for Windows NT/95 when
|
||
|
using DLLs and mixing CRT libraries.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In general, read the 'VERSION' file for changes and be aware that some of
|
||
|
the new stuff may not have been tested quite enough yet, so don't just plonk
|
||
|
in SSLeay 0.6.5 when 0.6.4 used to work and expect nothing to break.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.6.4 30/08/96 eay
|
||
|
|
||
|
I've just finished some test builds on Windows NT, Windows 3.1, Solaris 2.3,
|
||
|
Solaris 2.5, Linux, IRIX, HPUX 10 and everthing seems to work :-).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main changes in this release
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Thread safe. have a read of doc/threads.doc and play in the mt directory.
|
||
|
For anyone using 0.6.3 with threads, I found 2 major errors so consider
|
||
|
moving to 0.6.4. I have a test program that builds under NT and
|
||
|
solaris.
|
||
|
- The get session-id callback has changed. Have a read of doc/callback.doc.
|
||
|
- The X509_cert_verify callback (the SSL_verify callback) now
|
||
|
has another argument. Have a read of doc/callback.doc
|
||
|
- 'ca -preserve', sign without re-ordering the DN. Not tested much.
|
||
|
- VMS support.
|
||
|
- Compile time memory leak detection can now be built into SSLeay.
|
||
|
Read doc/memory.doc
|
||
|
- CONF routines now understand '\', '\n', '\r' etc. What this means is that
|
||
|
the SPKAC object mentioned in doc/ns-ca.doc can be on multiple lines.
|
||
|
- 'ssleay ciphers' added, lists the default cipher list for SSLeay.
|
||
|
- RC2 key setup is now compatable with Netscape.
|
||
|
- Modifed server side of SSL implementation, big performance difference when
|
||
|
using session-id reuse.
|
||
|
|
||
|
0.6.3
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bug fixes and the addition of some nice stuff to the 'ca' program.
|
||
|
Have a read of doc/ns-ca.doc for how hit has been modified so
|
||
|
it can be driven from a CGI script. The CGI script is not provided,
|
||
|
but that is just being left as an excersize for the reader :-).
|
||
|
|
||
|
0.6.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is most bug fixes and functionality improvements.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Additions are
|
||
|
- More thread debugging patches, the thread stuff is still being
|
||
|
tested, but for those keep to play with stuff, have a look in
|
||
|
crypto/cryptlib.c. The application needs to define 1 (or optionaly
|
||
|
a second) callback that is used to implement locking. Compiling
|
||
|
with LOCK_DEBUG spits out lots of locking crud :-).
|
||
|
This is what I'm currently working on.
|
||
|
- SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb() can be used to define the callback
|
||
|
function used in the SSL*_file() functions used to load keys. I was
|
||
|
always of the opinion that people should call
|
||
|
PEM_read_RSAPrivateKey() and pass the callback they want to use, but
|
||
|
it appears they just want to use the SSL_*_file() function() :-(.
|
||
|
- 'enc' now has a -kfile so a key can be read from a file. This is
|
||
|
mostly used so that the passwd does not appear when using 'ps',
|
||
|
which appears imposible to stop under solaris.
|
||
|
- X509v3 certificates now work correctly. I even have more examples
|
||
|
in my tests :-). There is now a X509_EXTENSION type that is used in
|
||
|
X509v3 certificates and CRLv2.
|
||
|
- Fixed that signature type error :-(
|
||
|
- Fixed quite a few potential memory leaks and problems when reusing
|
||
|
X509, CRL and REQ structures.
|
||
|
- EVP_set_pw_prompt() now sets the library wide default password
|
||
|
prompt.
|
||
|
- The 'pkcs7' command will now, given the -print_certs flag, output in
|
||
|
pem format, all certificates and CRL contained within. This is more
|
||
|
of a pre-emtive thing for the new verisign distribution method. I
|
||
|
should also note, that this also gives and example in code, of how
|
||
|
to do this :-), or for that matter, what is involved in going the
|
||
|
other way (list of certs and crl -> pkcs7).
|
||
|
- Added RSA's DESX to the DES library. It is also available via the
|
||
|
EVP_desx_cbc() method and via 'enc desx'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SSLeay 0.6.1
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main functional changes since 0.6.0 are as follows
|
||
|
- Bad news, the Microsoft 060 DLL's are not compatable, but the good news is
|
||
|
that from now on, I'll keep the .def numbers the same so they will be.
|
||
|
- RSA private key operations are about 2 times faster that 0.6.0
|
||
|
- The SSL_CTX now has more fields so default values can be put against
|
||
|
it. When an SSL structure is created, these default values are used
|
||
|
but can be overwritten. There are defaults for cipher, certificate,
|
||
|
private key, verify mode and callback. This means SSL session
|
||
|
creation can now be
|
||
|
ssl=SSL_new()
|
||
|
SSL_set_fd(ssl,sock);
|
||
|
SSL_accept(ssl)
|
||
|
....
|
||
|
All the other uglyness with having to keep a global copy of the
|
||
|
private key and certificate/verify mode in the server is now gone.
|
||
|
- ssl/ssltest.c - one process talking SSL to its self for testing.
|
||
|
- Storage of Session-id's can be controled via a session_cache_mode
|
||
|
flag. There is also now an automatic default flushing of
|
||
|
old session-id's.
|
||
|
- The X509_cert_verify() function now has another parameter, this
|
||
|
should not effect most people but it now means that the reason for
|
||
|
the failure to verify is now available via SSL_get_verify_result(ssl).
|
||
|
You don't have to use a global variable.
|
||
|
- SSL_get_app_data() and SSL_set_app_data() can be used to keep some
|
||
|
application data against the SSL structure. It is upto the application
|
||
|
to free the data. I don't use it, but it is available.
|
||
|
- SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() can be used to specify a
|
||
|
verify callback function that completly replaces my certificate
|
||
|
verification code. Xcert should be able to use this :-).
|
||
|
The callback is of the form int app_verify_callback(arg,ssl,cert).
|
||
|
This needs to be documented more.
|
||
|
- I have started playing with shared library builds, have a look in
|
||
|
the shlib directory. It is very simple. If you need a numbered
|
||
|
list of functions, have a look at misc/crypto.num and misc/ssl.num.
|
||
|
- There is some stuff to do locking to make the library thread safe.
|
||
|
I have only started this stuff and have not finished. If anyone is
|
||
|
keen to do so, please send me the patches when finished.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So I have finally made most of the additions to the SSL interface that
|
||
|
I thought were needed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There will probably be a pause before I make any non-bug/documentation
|
||
|
related changes to SSLeay since I'm feeling like a bit of a break.
|
||
|
|
||
|
eric - 12 Jul 1996
|
||
|
I saw recently a comment by some-one that we now seem to be entering
|
||
|
the age of perpetual Beta software.
|
||
|
Pioneered by packages like linux but refined to an art form by
|
||
|
netscape.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I too wish to join this trend with the anouncement of SSLeay 0.6.0 :-).
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are quite a large number of sections that are 'works in
|
||
|
progress' in this package. I will also list the major changes and
|
||
|
what files you should read.
|
||
|
|
||
|
BIO - this is the new IO structure being used everywhere in SSLeay. I
|
||
|
started out developing this because of microsoft, I wanted a mechanism
|
||
|
to callback to the application for all IO, so Windows 3.1 DLL
|
||
|
perversion could be hidden from me and the 15 different ways to write
|
||
|
to a file under NT would also not be dictated by me at library build
|
||
|
time. What the 'package' is is an API for a data structure containing
|
||
|
functions. IO interfaces can be written to conform to the
|
||
|
specification. This in not intended to hide the underlying data type
|
||
|
from the application, but to hide it from SSLeay :-).
|
||
|
I have only really finished testing the FILE * and socket/fd modules.
|
||
|
There are also 'filter' BIO's. Currently I have only implemented
|
||
|
message digests, and it is in use in the dgst application. This
|
||
|
functionality will allow base64/encrypto/buffering modules to be
|
||
|
'push' into a BIO without it affecting the semantics. I'm also
|
||
|
working on an SSL BIO which will hide the SSL_accept()/SLL_connet()
|
||
|
from an event loop which uses the interface.
|
||
|
It is also possible to 'attach' callbacks to a BIO so they get called
|
||
|
before and after each operation, alowing extensive debug output
|
||
|
to be generated (try running dgst with -d).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unfortunaly in the conversion from 0.5.x to 0.6.0, quite a few
|
||
|
functions that used to take FILE *, now take BIO *.
|
||
|
The wrappers are easy to write
|
||
|
|
||
|
function_fp(fp,x)
|
||
|
FILE *fp;
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
BIO *b;
|
||
|
int ret;
|
||
|
|
||
|
if ((b=BIO_new(BIO_s_file())) == NULL) error.....
|
||
|
BIO_set_fp(b,fp,BIO_NOCLOSE);
|
||
|
ret=function_bio(b,x);
|
||
|
BIO_free(b);
|
||
|
return(ret);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
Remember, there are no functions that take FILE * in SSLeay when
|
||
|
compiled for Windows 3.1 DLL's.
|
||
|
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
I have added a general EVP_PKEY type that can hold a public/private
|
||
|
key. This is now what is used by the EVP_ functions and is passed
|
||
|
around internally. I still have not done the PKCS#8 stuff, but
|
||
|
X509_PKEY is defined and waiting :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
For a full function name listings, have a look at ms/crypt32.def and
|
||
|
ms/ssl32.def. These are auto-generated but are complete.
|
||
|
Things like ASN1_INTEGER_get() have been added and are in here if you
|
||
|
look. I have renamed a few things, again, have a look through the
|
||
|
function list and you will probably find what you are after. I intend
|
||
|
to at least put a one line descrition for each one.....
|
||
|
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
Microsoft - thats what this release is about, read the MICROSOFT file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
Multi-threading support. I have started hunting through the code and
|
||
|
flaging where things need to be done. In a state of work but high on
|
||
|
the list.
|
||
|
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
For random numbers, edit e_os.h and set DEVRANDOM (it's near the top)
|
||
|
be be you random data device, otherwise 'RFILE' in e_os.h
|
||
|
will be used, in your home directory. It will be updated
|
||
|
periodically. The environment variable RANDFILE will override this
|
||
|
choice and read/write to that file instead. DEVRANDOM is used in
|
||
|
conjunction to the RFILE/RANDFILE. If you wish to 'seed' the random
|
||
|
number generator, pick on one of these files.

also play with ssleay version -a. I have now added a SSLeay()

Have a general rummage around in the bin stall directory and look at

|
||
|
This version has quite a few major bug fixes and improvements. It DOES NOT
|
||
|
do SSLv3 yet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main things changed
|
||
|
- A Few days ago I added the s_mult application to ssleay which is
|
||
|
a demo of an SSL server running in an event loop type thing.
|
||
|
It supports non-blocking IO, I have finally gotten it right, SSL_accept()
|
||
|
can operate in non-blocking IO mode, look at the code to see how :-).
|
||
|
Have a read of doc/s_mult as well. This program leaks memory and
|
||
|
file descriptors everywhere but I have not cleaned it up yet.
|
||
|
This is a demo of how to do non-blocking IO.
|
||
|
- The SSL session management has been 'worked over' and there is now
|
||
|
quite an expansive set of functions to manipulate them. Have a read of
|
||
|
doc/session.doc for some-things I quickly whipped up about how it now works.
|
||
|
This assume you know the SSLv2 protocol :-)
|
||
|
- I can now read/write the netscape certificate format, use the
|
||
|
-inform/-outform 'net' options to the x509 command. I have not put support
|
||
|
for this type in the other demo programs, but it would be easy to add.
|
||
|
- asn1parse and 'enc' have been modified so that when reading base64
|
||
|
encoded files (pem format), they do not require '-----BEGIN' header lines.
|
||
|
The 'enc' program had a buffering bug fixed, it can be used as a general
|
||
|
base64 -> binary -> base64 filter by doing 'enc -a -e' and 'enc -a -d'
|
||
|
respecivly. Leaving out the '-a' flag in this case makes the 'enc' command
|
||
|
into a form of 'cat'.
|
||
|
- The 'x509' and 'req' programs have been fixed and modified a little so
|
||
|
that they generate self-signed certificates correctly. The test
|
||
|
script actually generates a 'CA' certificate and then 'signs' a
|
||
|
'user' certificate. Have a look at this shell script (test/sstest)
|
||
|
to see how things work, it tests most possible combinations of what can
|
||
|
be done.
|
||
|
- The 'SSL_set_pref_cipher()' function has been 'fixed' and the prefered name
|
||
|
of SSL_set_cipher_list() is now the correct API (stops confusion :-).
|
||
|
If this function is used in the client, only the specified ciphers can
|
||
|
be used, with preference given to the order the ciphers were listed.
|
||
|
For the server, if this is used, only the specified ciphers will be used
|
||
|
to accept connections. If this 'option' is not used, a default set of
|
||
|
ciphers will be used. The SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(SSL_CTX *ctx) sets this
|
||
|
list for all ciphers started against the SSL_CTX. So the order is
|
||
|
SSL cipher_list, if not present, SSL_CTX cipher list, if not
|
||
|
present, then the library default.
|
||
|
What this means is that normally ciphers like
|
||
|
NULL-MD5 will never be used. The only way this cipher can be used
|
||
|
for both ends to specify to use it.
|
||
|
To enable or disable ciphers in the library at build time, modify the
|
||
|
first field for the cipher in the ssl_ciphers array in ssl/ssl_lib.c.
|
||
|
This file also contains the 'pref_cipher' list which is the default
|
||
|
cipher preference order.
|
||
|
- I'm not currently sure if the 'rsa -inform net' and the 'rsa -outform net'
|
||
|
options work. They should, and they enable loading and writing the
|
||
|
netscape rsa private key format. I will be re-working this section of
|
||
|
SSLeay for the next version. What is currently in place is a quick and
|
||
|
dirty hack.
|
||
|
- I've re-written parts of the bignum library. This gives speedups
|
||
|
for all platforms. I now provide assembler for use under Windows NT.
|
||
|
I have not tested the Windows 3.1 assembler but it is quite simple code.
|
||
|
This gives RSAprivate_key operation encryption times of 0.047s (512bit key)
|
||
|
and 0.230s (1024bit key) on a pentium 100 which I consider reasonable.
|
||
|
Basically the times available under linux/solaris x86 can be achieve under
|
||
|
Windows NT. I still don't know how these times compare to RSA's BSAFE
|
||
|
library but I have been emailing with people and with their help, I should
|
||
|
be able to get my library's quite a bit faster still (more algorithm changes).
|
||
|
The object file crypto/bn/asm/x86-32.obj should be used when linking
|
||
|
under NT.
|
||
|
- 'make makefile.one' in the top directory will generate a single makefile
|
||
|
called 'makefile.one' This makefile contains no perl references and
|
||
|
will build the SSLeay library into the 'tmp' and 'out' directories.
|
||
|
util/mk1mf.pl >makefile.one is how this makefile is
|
||
|
generated. The mk1mf.pl command take several option to generate the
|
||
|
makefile for use with cc, gcc, Visual C++ and Borland C++. This is
|
||
|
still under development. I have only build .lib's for NT and MSDOS
|
||
|
I will be working on this more. I still need to play with the
|
||
|
correct compiler setups for these compilers and add some more stuff but
|
||
|
basically if you just want to compile the library
|
||
|
on a 'non-unix' platform, this is a very very good file to start with :-).
|
||
|
Have a look in the 'microsoft' directory for my current makefiles.
|
||
|
I have not yet modified things to link with sockets under Windows NT.
|
||
|
You guys should be able to do this since this is actually outside of the
|
||
|
SSLeay scope :-). I will be doing it for myself soon.
|
||
|
util/mk1mf.pl takes quite a few options including no-rc, rsaref and no-sock
|
||
|
to build without RC2/RC4, to require RSAref for linking, and to
|
||
|
build with no socket code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Oh yes, the cipher that was reported to be compatible with RSA's RC2 cipher
|
||
|
that was posted to sci.crypt has been added to the library and SSL.
|
||
|
I take the view that if RC2 is going to be included in a standard,
|
||
|
I'll include the cipher to make my package complete.
|
||
|
There are NO_RC2, NO_RC4 and NO_IDEA macros to remove these ciphers
|
||
|
at compile time. I have not tested this recently but it should all work
|
||
|
and if you are in the USA and don't want RSA threatening to sue you,
|
||
|
you could probably remove the RC4/RC2 code inside these sections.
|
||
|
I may in the future include a perl script that does this code
|
||
|
removal automatically for those in the USA :-).
|
||
|
- I have removed all references to sed in the makefiles. So basically,
|
||
|
the development environment requires perl and sh. The build environment
|
||
|
does not (use the makefile.one makefile).
|
||
|
The Configure script still requires perl, this will probably stay that way
|
||
|
since I have perl for Windows NT :-).

PS Have a look in the VERSION file for more details on the changes and
|
||
|
bug fixes.
|
||
|
I have fixed a few bugs, added alpha and x86 assembler and generally cleaned
|
||
|
things up. This version will be quite stable, mostly because I'm on
|
||
|
holidays until 10-March-1996. For any problems in the interum, send email
|
||
|
to Tim Hudson <tjh@mincom.oz.au>.

|
||
|
SSLeay 0.5.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
12-12-95
|
||
|
This is going out before it should really be released.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I leave for 11 weeks holidays on the 22-12-95 and so I either sit on
|
||
|
this for 11 weeks or get things out. It is still going to change a
|
||
|
lot in the next week so if you do grab this version, please test and
|
||
|
give me feed back ASAP, inculuding questions on how to do things with
|
||
|
the library. This will prompt me to write documentation so I don't
|
||
|
have to answer the same question again :-).
|
||
|
|
||
|
This 'pre' release version is for people who are interested in the
|
||
|
library. The applications will have to be changed to use
|
||
|
the new version of the SSL interface. I intend to finish more
|
||
|
documentation before I leave but until then, look at the programs in
|
||
|
the apps directory. As far as code goes, it is much much nicer than
|
||
|
the old version.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The current library works, has no memory leaks (as far as I can tell)
|
||
|
and is far more bug free that 0.4.5d. There are no global variable of
|
||
|
consequence (I believe) and I will produce some documentation that
|
||
|
tell where to look for those people that do want to do multi-threaded
|
||
|
stuff.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There should be more documentation. Have a look in the
|
||
|
doc directory. I'll be adding more before I leave, it is a start
|
||
|
by mostly documents the crypto library. Tim Hudson will update
|
||
|
the web page ASAP. The spelling and grammar are crap but
|
||
|
it is better than nothing :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Reasons to start playing with version 0.5.0
|
||
|
- All the programs in the apps directory build into one ssleay binary.
|
||
|
- There is a new version of the 'req' program that generates certificate
|
||
|
requests, there is even documentation for this one :-)
|
||
|
- There is a demo certification authorithy program. Currently it will
|
||
|
look at the simple database and update it. It will generate CRL from
|
||
|
the data base. You need to edit the database by hand to revoke a
|
||
|
certificate, it is my aim to use perl5/Tk but I don't have time to do
|
||
|
this right now. It will generate the certificates but the management
|
||
|
scripts still need to be written. This is not a hard task.
|
||
|
- Things have been cleaned up alot.
|
||
|
- Have a look at the enc and dgst programs in the apps directory.
|
||
|
- It supports v3 of x509 certiticates.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Major things missing.
|
||
|
- I have been working on (and thinging about) the distributed x509
|
||
|
hierachy problem. I have not had time to put my solution in place.
|
||
|
It will have to wait until I come back.
|
||
|
- I have not put in CRL checking in the certificate verification but
|
||
|
it would not be hard to do. I was waiting until I could generate my
|
||
|
own CRL (which has only been in the last week) and I don't have time
|
||
|
to put it in correctly.
|
||
|
- Montgomery multiplication need to be implemented. I know the
|
||
|
algorithm, just ran out of time.
|
||
|
- PKCS#7. I can load and write the DER version. I need to re-work
|
||
|
things to support BER (if that means nothing, read the ASN1 spec :-).
|
||
|
- Testing of the higher level digital envelope routines. I have not
|
||
|
played with the *_seal() and *_open() type functions. They are
|
||
|
written but need testing. The *_sign() and *_verify() functions are
|
||
|
rock solid.
|
||
|
- PEM. Doing this and PKCS#7 have been dependant on the distributed
|
||
|
x509 heirachy problem. I started implementing my ideas, got
|
||
|
distracted writing a CA program and then ran out of time. I provide
|
||
|
the functionality of RSAref at least.
|
||
|
- Re work the asm. code for the x86. I've changed by low level bignum
|
||
|
interface again, so I really need to tweak the x86 stuff. gcc is
|
||
|
good enough for the other boxes.
