This is a quick, meet the deadline. Look to ssl-users for comments on what is new etc. -The state of play -- TLSv1 - I need to do some explaining about how the methods interact. - The bad news is that SSLeay 0.8.x application will not roll back to - SSLv3, I suffed up. 0.8.x is rather pedantic about the '3.0' version - number. Look at the 'no-tls' options in applications in the apps directory. -- The perl5 stuff is very rough. The SSL part does not work due to - reference count hassles in the BIO stuff. I just have not had time to - look at it. The cipher, digest and bignum stuff works though. I just - need to clean up the API. -- Lots of x86 assember. I now have it for des, 3des, rc4, rc5, blowfish, - cast, md5, sha1 and ripemd160. It has been tested on win32, linux (elf) - and FreeBSD (a.out). -- As mentioned above, cast, rc5 and ripemd160 have been added. -- A simple HMAC set of functions. -- EX_DATA strucutre, which can be used by applications or other libraries - to tack arbitarty data against strucutures that include it. - You will probably have to see examples to see how to use it, and I will - elaberate on the ssl-users mailing list -- RSA blinding. If you fear timing attacks on RSA, you can turn on - blinding which defeats it. -- From Tim Hudson, try running 'sh config' instead of 'perl Configure'. - I makes an educated guess as to what you are and then runs 'perl Configure' -- The error stuff has been modified so arbitary strings can be taged - against an error message. It is used in a few places to elaberate on - parameters that caused the error. - -Areas of work -- The 16bit big-num assember needs a routine added. The WIN16 and - WIN32 stuff is ok, but MS-DOS or 286 builds need the update. -- Most of the bignum assember will not work. There will be a function - missing, bn_add_words(). I need people to send me the C compiler output - for platforms I don't already have. Currently, the assember is correct for - x86, win32, win16(386+), linux elf, FreeBSD a.out and sparc. -- PKCS7, I have delusions of s/MIME. I need to do a BIO interface. -- perl5, it needs finishing -- X509v3 extension. I have some ideas, I just need to - implement them :-) -- Public key methods. I need to clean up the library internally so - public key methods are loaded is a similar way to symetric ciphers - and digests. I also need to seperate out the digests from public - key methods. This stuff is needed to support sortware patents, smaller - code size and hardware tokens. - -Anyway, this release gets out the bug fixes and TLS, but be warned, until -all those old SSLeay 0.8.x based server get upgraded, you will need to -connect with SSLv3 if TLSv1 fails. - eric (about to go bushwalking for the 4 day easter break :-) - -PS Common problems -- For Win32 build, use /MD to specify your libraries, or build SSLeay with - the same flags as your application. Visual C stuffs up the malloc routines - if memory allocated by one memory model is freed by another. FILE pointers - are a major cause of these problem. -- If you are trying to use non-blocking IO and it is not working, - try 'ssleay s_client -help' and see if the -nbio option is listed. - For unixware, it has the non-block IO define in 'differnt' header file - and SSLeay will silently build without non-blocking IO calls (but for - unixware, the special header has been included). -- -DL_ENDIAN. For the message digests, some code needs to be turned off - in the C code when assember is used. For x86, this means the L_ENDIAN - needs to defined when x86 -DSHA1_ASM is defined. The reasons this is - not automagically done is because non-x86 assember could be bigendian. - For pure C code builds, the B_ENDIAN/L_ENDIAN flags are optional. |
