*) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
functions
EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
These control ASN1 encoding details:
- Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
- Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
functions
EC_GROUP_set_seed()
EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).

*) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.

*) Add functions
EC_POINT_point2bn()
EC_POINT_bn2point()
EC_POINT_point2hex()
EC_POINT_hex2point()
providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
EC_POINT_oct2point().
[Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
*) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
EC_GROUP_set_generator()
EC_GROUP_get_generator()
EC_GROUP_get_order()
EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
adding different types of curves.

[Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
*) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
(which avoid length expansion in many cases).
[Bodo Moeller]
*) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
[Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
*) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
(these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
library. Most notably,
- 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
- EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
- X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
extracted before the specific public key.
*) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
functions
Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
accessed via
EC_GROUP_set_nid()
EC_GROUP_get_nid()
[Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
*) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
[Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
*) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
[Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
*) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
error in AES-CFB decryption.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
[Steve Henson]
*) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
[Steve Henson]
*) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
[Lutz Jaenicke]
*) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
*) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
[Steve Henson]
*) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
declaration has been changed from
int (*cb)()
into
int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
has been changed into
i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
[D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
*) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
[Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
*) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
This allows older applications to transparently support certain
OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
always load it have also been added.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
[Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
*) Config modules support in openssl utility.
Most commands now load modules from the config file,
though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
because it couldn't be used for anything.
In the case of ca and req the config file used is
the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
command line option can be used to specify an
alternative file.
[Steve Henson]
*) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
[Steve Henson]
*) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
[Steve Henson]
*) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
to work with the new engine framework.
