| 3 | New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled |
|
|
| 4 | with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal |
|
|
| 5 | structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application |
|
|
| 6 | to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined. |

29 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0. |
|
|
30 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced |
|
|
31 | with "node nodename", not "node = nodename". |
|
|
32 | - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session |
|
|
33 | could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange. |
|
|
34 | - in addition to rsa key exchange and authentication, the handshake now |
|
|
35 | adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect |
|
|
36 | forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF. |
|
|
37 | - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072). |
|
|
38 | correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576. |
|
|
39 | - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption. |
|
|
40 | - new per-node low-power setting that tries to reduce cpu/network usage. |
|
|
41 | - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections. |
|
|
42 | - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but |
|
|
43 | only missing private keys. private keys are also put |
|
|
44 | into the configured location. |
|
|
45 | - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. |
|
|
46 | - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED |
|
|
47 | a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the |
|
|
48 | openssl documentation). |
|
|
49 | - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported |
|
|
50 | and will be merged. |
|
|
51 | - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section |
|
|
52 | of the config file. |
|
|
53 | - 12 random prefix bytes are now properly supported, leading to |
|
|
54 | a fully random IV. |
|
|
55 | - use aes with a random key in counter-mode to generate IVs, |
|
|
56 | for speed reasons (generating 12 random bytes with openssl can |
|
|
57 | take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs |
|
|
58 | do not need to be cryptographically strong random numbers |
|
|
59 | (and in fact, shouldn't be)). |
|
|
60 | - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths. |
|
|
61 | - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches. |
|
|
62 | - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash |
|
|
63 | (hint by Ilmari Karonen). |
|
|
64 | - during rekeying or conenction establishments, hmac authentication |
|
|
65 | errors could occur and reset the connection. Transient hmac |
|
|
66 | authentication errors are now being ignored for 3 seconds. |
|
|
67 | - log the reason for a conneciton loss. |
|
|
68 | - use a (hopefully) constant time memcmp to compare internal secrets. |
|
|
