OpenSSL version 0.9.8p released
===============================
OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
http://www.openssl.org/
The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of
version 0.9.8p of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new
OpenSSL version is a security and bugfix release which addresses
CVE-2010-3864. For a complete list of changes,
please see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES.
The PBC (Pairing-Based Cryptography) library is a free C library built
on the GMP library that performs the mathematical operations
underlying pairing-based cryptosystems.
It provides routines such as elliptic curve generation, elliptic curve
arithmetic and pairing computation.
The API is abstract enough that the PBC library can be used even if
the programmer possesses only an elementary understanding of pairings.
There is no need to learn about elliptic curves or much of number
theory. (The minimum requirement is some knowledge of cyclic groups
and properties of the pairing.)
Boneh-Lynn-Shacham short signatures
Hess identity-based signatures
Joux tripartite Diffie-Hellman
Paterson identity-based signatures
Yuan-Li identity-based authenticated key agreement
Zhang-Kim identity-based blind/ring signatures
Zhang-Safavi-Naini-Susilo signatures
Bug Fixes
* amavisd failed to start when spam scanning was disabled either
by @bypass_spam_checks_maps=(1) or by @spam_scanners=(), giving:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Amavis::SpamControl"
As a workaround one could use a @spam_scanners=(undef) to disable spam
scanning;
* several decoders failed to propagate "Exceeded storage quota" exception,
so the protection of AV scanners against mail bombs was ineffective;
reported by Jorgen Lundman;
* milter usage (AM.PDP): verbatim header edits inserted a header body of
"1" instead of the correct string
* updated AV entry for BitDefender's bdscan to recognize tabs around
a colon in its output; contributed by Steve;
* fix parsing of a combined result from DSPAM (option --classify), as
earlier versions of DSPAM did not include a signature with a combined
result line; problem reported by Marijan Vidmar;
New Features
* provide a true SNMP agent and a MIB, facilitating monitoring the health
of a content filtering system, its performance and mail characteristics;
* a new AV interface to SMTP-based antivirus scanners;
* allow customizing SMTP-status response reason text for blocked messages;
* prevent inserting fake copies of certain important mail header fields
without breaking a DKIM signature;
Changes from previous version (20100601)
Changes to 3.99.13/20101104
+ fix up GNU autoconf framework to reflect new structure
+ add ability in netpgpkeys(1) and netpgp(1) to specify the cipher
(symmetric algorithm)
+ add the camellia cipher implementation from openssl as specified in RFC 5581
+ changes from Peter Pentchev to get rid of an exit(3) in library context
+ changes from Peter Pentchev for manual page hyphens
+ changes from Peter Pentchev to clean up after tests

+ avoid calling bzlib functions if they aren't present
+ when writing out the key as an ssh key, don't include the user id
information at the end, in-line with expectations about standard ssh
key formats
+ since the signing key changed its "menu line" entry from "pub" to
"signature", the offset of the key id moved 7 chars to the right, so
take this into consideration when generating new keys
+ allow the user specification of the secret key file as the
--sshkeyfile or -S argument, and check that the public key file exists
before trying to read it
Changes to 3.99.12/20100907
+ add a pretty print function mj_pretty(3) to libmj
+ added netpgp_write_sshkey(3) to libnetpgp
+ added pgp2ssh(1)
+ added preliminary support for ElGamal decryption, needed for DSA keys
as yet untested, unworking, and a WIP
+ add support for using all ssh keys, even those protected by a passphrase,
for decryption and signing. This rounds off ssh key file support in netpgp.

netpgpkeys(1) and netpgp(1)
Changes to 3.99.11/20100809

+ check return value from option setting function in netpgpkeys(1)
+ be smarter when checking for a null id
+ add test for crap being returned when listing specific keys in netpgpkeys(1)
+ take the public key from the pubring, not the secring when exporting
keys
+ allow hkpd to serve ssh keys in pgp format
+ test on whether a seckey is needed, not on a userid needed, for ssh keys
Changes to 3.99.9/20100809
+ add single character options to netpgp(1) and netpgpkeys(1)
+ add -o long-option (=value)? to netpgp(1) and netpgpkeys(1)
+ save subkeys when parsing keys. when listing keys, note that the first
subkey is for encryption
+ rationalise birthtime/expiration timestamps into a single function
+ clean up some 64-bit (amd64) lint
Changes to 3.99.8/20100805
+ free a regular expression after using it
+ be a bit less typedef-happy when it's not needed
+ added minimalist JSON (libmj) to distribution
+ add a function in ops layer to construct JSON serialised text from keys
+ use json output from the library in netpgpkeys(1)
+ added check for alternative openssl location
Changes to 3.99.7/20100701
+ recognise ascii-armoured encrypted messages properly, in memory and
in files
+ fix a bug when printing out the public key when prompting for a secret
key
+ print error message and exit for now when trying to encrypt with a DSA key
+ fix bug reported by dyoung when trying to print out the encryption key
fingerprint
Changes to 3.99.6/20100701
+ make some synonyms for --ssh-keys
+ make proper defaults for home dir for ssh key files as well as pgp files
+ modify regression test script to ensure that ssh-keygen and netpgpkey's
idea of ssh keys are the same
+ return any error codes when reading ssh pub or private keys
Changes to 3.99.5/20100613
+ make ssh fingerprints (md5) match netpgp listing
+ use the more functional hexdump function from ssh2pgp in place of the
older hexdump function from openpgpsdk
+ pass hash type down from command line where needed
+ add test for netpgp/ssh key fingerprint matching
+ make netpgpkeys(1) take a --hash= option
=== 0.4.4 2010-10-31
* Fix LoadError rescue in tests: return can't be used in this context
(Hans de G raaff)
* HTTP headers should be strings. (seancribbs)
* ensure consumer uri gets set back to original config even if an error occurs
(Brian Finney)
* Yahoo uses & to split records in OAuth headers (Brian Finney)
* Added support for Rails 3 in client/action_controller_request (Pelle)
* fix: LDAP write on userPassword fails when chasing referral and cached
policy error is POLICY_ERROR_PASSWORD_EXPIRED

Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.11 (2010-10-18)
-------------------------------------------------
* Bug fixes and portability changes.
* Minor changes for better interoperability with GnuPG-2.
* Added mechanism CKM_RSA_X_509 (use Botan 1.9.7 to fix a bug
when verifying these signatures)
* The softhsm command now have the option --module <path>
To use a PKCS#11 library other than SoftHSM.
* The softhsm command now import all parts of the RSA key.
CKA_EXPONENT_1, CKA_EXPONENT_2, and CKA_COEFFICIENT is not needed
by SoftHSM but might be needed by other HSM:s.
* Ticket #163: softhsm-keyconv now support BIND format v1.3
* Write message to stderr when the config file cannot be found
* CKA_WRAP_WITH_TRUSTED was not handled correctly. But it has not
been a problem since wrapping is not supported.
* Set CKA_KEY_GEN_MECHANISM to CK_UNAVAILABLE_INFORMATION when
importing objects.
* C_GetInfo now returns CKR_CRYPTOKI_NOT_INITIALIZED if library
is not initialized.
* Force clean up if the app does not do C_Finalize (using auto_ptr)
* Limit the scope of the session objects to the owner application
* softhsm --optimize will clean up leftovers (session objects)
from applications that haven't closed down properly.
* Do not use CKF_HW, the mechanisms are not performed by a device.
* The ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize are not used for the digesting
mechanisms, but we set them to zero for applications that forget
this.
* Used wrong buffer size for signatures. This was only a problem
for keys where (key size % 8 == 1), e.g. 1025 bit keys.
* C_Login now returns CKR_USER_ANOTHER_ALREADY_LOGGED_IN instead of
CKR_USER_TOO_MANY_TYPES
* Version 2.10.2 (released 2010-09-30)
** Use Libtool 2.2.10 to ease MinGW64 builds.
** libgnutls: Add new extended key usage ipsecIKE.
** libgnutls: Is now more liberal in the PEM decoding.
That is spaces and tabs are being skipped.
** libgnutls: Renamed NULL MAC to MAC-NULL to prevent clash with NULL cipher.
This prevented the usage of the TLS ciphersuites with NULL cipher.
See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.gnutls.general/2093>.
** libgnutls: The %COMPAT flag now allows larger records that violate the
TLS spec.
** libgnutls: Fix asynchronous API handling.
The code was clearing session hash data on EAGAIN. Problem reported
by Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd.simons@collabora.co.uk> and Vivek
Dasmohapatra <vivek@collabora.co.uk>. See
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/4531>.
** gnutls-cli: Flush stdout/stderr before removing buffering.
Reported by Knut Anders Hatlen see
<http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107481>.
* add tests
* Corrected a bogus array initialization.
* Effectively double-escaped the normalized params for inclusion in the
signature base as required by sections 9.1.1 and 9.1.3 of the OAuth 1.0
specification.
2010-09-20 -- pycryptopp v0.5.25
* make setup backwards-compatible to Python 2.4
* fix incompatibilities between setup script and older versions of darcsver
* don't attempt to compile Mac OS X extended attribute files (this fixes the build breaking)
* include a version number of the specific version of Crypto++ in extraversion.h
* small changes to docs
2010-09-18 -- pycryptopp v0.5.20
* fix bugs in assembly implementation of SHA-256 from Crypto++
* fix it to compile on *BSD (#39)
* improve doc strings
* add a quick start-up-self-test of SHA256 (#43)
* execute the quick start-up-self-tests of AES and SHA256 on module import
This module provides common interface to HMAC functionality. HMAC is a
kind of "Message Authentication Code" (MAC) algorithm whose standard
is documented in RFC2104. Namely, a MAC provides a way to check the
integrity of information transmitted over or stored in an unreliable
medium, based on a secret key.

LuaSec is a binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication.
This version delegates to LuaSocket the TCP connection establishment
between the client and server. Then LuaSec uses this connection to start
a secure TLS/SSL session.
(Based on wip/luasec.)
