o Support for TLSv1.3 added
+ o Complete rewrite of the OpenSSL random number generator to introduce the
+ following capabilities
+ o The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
+ NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1.
+ o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
+ o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
+ o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
+ o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
+ o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
+ operation
+ o Support for various new cryptographic algorithms including:
+ o SHA3
+ o SHA512/224 and SHA512/256
+ o EdDSA (including Ed25519 and Ed448)
+ o X448 (adding to the existing X25519 support in 1.1.0)
+ o Multi-prime RSA
+ o SM2
+ o SM3
+ o SM4
+ o SipHash
+ o ARIA (including TLS support)
+ o Significant Side-Channel attack security improvements
+ o Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
+ o A new STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
+ stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
+ objects.
o Move the display of configuration data to configdata.pm.
o Allow GNU style "make variables" to be used with Configure.
- o Add a STORE module (OSSL_STORE)
