signature algorithms extension and correct signature format for
server key exchange.
All ciphersuites should now work on the server but no client support and
no client certificate support yet.
This change resolves a number of problems and obviates multiple kludges.
A new feature is that you can now say "AES256" or "AES128" (not just
"AES", which enables both).
In some cases the ciphersuite list generated from a given string is
affected by this change. I hope this is just in those cases where the
previous behaviour did not make sense.
This tidies up verify parameters and adds support for integrated policy
checking.
Add support for policy related command line options. Currently only in smime
application.
WARNING: experimental code subject to change.
I have tried to convert 'len' type variable declarations to unsigned as a
means to address these warnings when appropriate, but when in doubt I have
used casts in the comparisons instead. The better solution (that would get
us all lynched by API users) would be to go through and convert all the
function prototypes and structure definitions to use unsigned variables
except when signed is necessary. The proliferation of (signed) "int" for
strictly non-negative uses is unfortunate.
See the commit log message for that for more information.
NB: X509_STORE_CTX's use of "ex_data" support was actually misimplemented
(initialisation by "memset" won't/can't/doesn't work). This fixes that but
requires that X509_STORE_CTX_init() be able to handle errors - so its
prototype has been changed to return 'int' rather than 'void'. All uses of
that function throughout the source code have been tracked down and
adjusted.
and make all files the depend on it include it without prefixing it
with openssl/.
This means that all Makefiles will have $(TOP) as one of the include
directories.
like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names
on some operating systems or other packages. That is reason enough to change
the names of the OpenSSL memory allocation macros to something that has a
better chance of being unique, like prepending them with OPENSSL_.
This change includes all the name changes needed throughout all C files.
yet tighter, and also put some heat on the rest of the library by
insisting (correctly) that compare callbacks used in stacks are prototyped
with "const" parameters. This has led to a depth-first explosion of
compiler warnings in the code where 1 constification has led to 3 or 4
more. Fortunately these have all been resolved to completion and the code
seems cleaner as a result - in particular many of the _cmp() functions
should have been prototyped with "const"s, and now are. There was one
little problem however;
X509_cmp() should by rights compare "const X509 *" pointers, and it is now
declared as such. However, it's internal workings can involve
recalculating hash values and extensions if they have not already been
setup. Someone with a more intricate understanding of the flow control of
X509 might be able to tighten this up, but for now - this seemed the
obvious place to stop the "depth-first" constification of the code by
using an evil cast (they have migrated all the way here from safestack.h).
Fortunately, this is the only place in the code where this was required
to complete these type-safety changes, and it's reasonably clear and
commented, and seemed the least unacceptable of the options. Trying to
take the constification further ends up exploding out considerably, and
indeed leads directly into generalised ASN functions which are not likely
to cooperate well with this.
in SSL_new.
If SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE is set, don't waste time in SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh
on computing a DH key that will be ignored anyway.
ssltest -dhe1024dsa (w/ 160-bit sub-prime) had an unfair performance
advantage over -dhe1024 (safe prime): SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE was
effectively always enabled because SSL_new ignored the DH key set in
the SSL_CTX. Now -dhe1024 takes the server only about twice as long
as -dhe1024dsa instead of three times as long (for 1024 bit RSA
with 1024 bit DH).
This will soon be complemented with MacOS specific source code files and
INSTALL.MacOS.
I (Andy) have decided to get rid of a number of #include <sys/types.h>.
I've verified it's ok (both by examining /usr/include/*.h and compiling)
on a number of Unix platforms. Unfortunately I don't have Windows box
to verify this on. I really appreciate if somebody could try to compile
it and contact me a.s.a.p. in case a problem occurs.
