<H2>1 Crypto Release Notes
</H2>

<P>This document describes the changes made to the Crypto application.
<A NAME="1.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.1 Crypto 1.5</H3>
<A NAME="1.1.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.1.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         It is now explicitly checked at start-up that the crypto
         driver is properly loaded (Thanks to Claes Wikstrom).

</UL>
<A NAME="1.2"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.2 Crypto 1.4</H3>
<A NAME="1.2.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.2.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         The previously undocumented and UNSUPPORTED <CODE>ssh</CODE>
         application has been updated and documented. This release
         of the <CODE>ssh</CODE> application is still considered to be a
         beta release and (if necessary) there could still be
         changes in its API before it reaches 1.0.
         <BR>
Also, more cryptographic algorithms have been added to
         the <CODE>crypto</CODE> application.
<BR>
         *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

<A NAME="1.3"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.3 Crypto 1.3</H3>
<A NAME="1.3.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.3.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         Added support for RFC 3826 - The Advanced Encryption Standard 
(AES) Cipher Algorithm in the SNMP User-based Security Model.
<BR>
Martin Bjrklund<BR>



</LI>


</UL>
<A NAME="1.4"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.4 Crypto 1.2.3</H3>
<A NAME="1.4.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.4.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
  Linked in drivers in the crypto, and asn1 applications
are now compiled with the -D_THREAD_SAFE and -D_REENTRANT
switches on unix when the emulator has thread support
enabled.
<BR>
 Linked in drivers on MacOSX are not compiled with the
undocumented -lbundle1.o switch anymore. Thanks to Sean
Hinde who sent us a patch.
<BR>
 Linked in driver in crypto, and port programs in ssl, now
compiles on OSF1.
<BR>
 Minor makefile improvements in runtime_tools.
<BR>

</UL>
<A NAME="1.5"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.5 Crypto 1.2.2</H3>
<A NAME="1.5.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.5.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
  Corrected error handling. If the port to the driver that
crypto uses is unexpectedly closed (which should not
happen during normal operation of crypto), crypto will
terminate immediately (rather than crashing the next time
crypto is used). Also corrected build problems on Mac OS
X.

</UL>
<A NAME="1.6"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.6 Crypto 1.2.1</H3>
<A NAME="1.6.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.6.1 Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         It was not possible in R9 to relink the crypto driver.
         The object file was missing as well as an example
         makefile. The crypto driver object file is now released
         with the application (installed in priv/obj). An example
         makefile has also been added to the priv/obj directory.
         The makefile serves as an example of how to relink the
         driver on Unix (crypto_drv.so) or Windows
         (crypto_drv.dll).

</UL>
<A NAME="1.7"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.7 Crypto 1.2</H3>
<A NAME="1.7.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.7.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         Previous versions of Crypto where delivered with
         statically linked binaries based on SSLeay. That is not
         longer the case. The current version of Crypto requires
         dynamically linked OpenSSL libraries that the user has to
         install. The library needed is <CODE>libcrypto.so</CODE> (Unix)
         or <CODE>libeay32.[lib|dll]</CODE> (Win32). For further details
         see the crypto(6) application manual page.
        <BR>

</LI>


<LI>
         This version of Crypto uses the new DES interface of
         OpenSSL 0.9.7, which is not backward compatible with
         earlier versions of OpenSSL.

        <BR>

</LI>


<LI>
The functions <CODE>des_ede3_cbc_encrypt/5</CODE> and
         <CODE>des_ede3_cbc_decrypt/5</CODE> have been renamed to
         <CODE>des3_cbc_encrypt/5</CODE> and <CODE>des3_cbc_decrypt/5</CODE>,
         respectively. The old functions have been retained (they are
         deprecated and not listed in the crypto(3) manual page).

</LI>


</UL>
<A NAME="1.7.2"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.7.2 Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
         The start of crypto failed on Windows, due to erroneous addition
         of a DES3 algorithm.
         <BR>
Own Id: OTP-4684
         <BR>

</UL>
<A NAME="1.8"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.8 Crypto 1.1.3</H3>
<A NAME="1.8.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.8.1 Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
To obtain backward compatibility with the old SSLeay
         package, and with earlier versions of OpenSSL, the macro
         OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY has been added to
         <CODE>crypto_drv.c</CODE>. This is of importance only for the open
         source version of Crypto.


</LI>


</UL>
<A NAME="1.9"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.9 Crypto 1.1.2</H3>
<A NAME="1.9.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.9.1 Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
In the manual page <CODE>crypto(3)</CODE> the function names
         <CODE>md5_finish</CODE> and <CODE>sha_finish</CODE> have been changed to
         <CODE>md5_final</CODE> and <CODE>sha_final</CODE> to correctly document
         the implementation.
         
         Own Id: OTP-3409

</UL>
<A NAME="1.10"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.10 Crypto 1.1.1</H3>

<P>Code replacement in runtime is supported. Upgrade can be done from
from version 1.1 and downgrade to version 1.1.

<A NAME="1.10.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.10.1 Improvements and New Features</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
The driver part of the Crypto application has been
         updated to use the erl_driver header file. Version 1.1.1
         requires emulator version 4.9.1 or later.
<BR>

</LI>


</UL>
<A NAME="1.11"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.11 Crypto 1.1</H3>
<A NAME="1.11.1"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H4>1.11.1 Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</H4>

<P>
<UL>

<LI>
On Windows the crypto_drv was incorrectly linked to
         static run-time libraries instead of dynamic ones.
         
         Own Id: OTP-3240

</UL>
<A NAME="1.12"><!-- Empty --></A>
<H3>1.12 Crypto 1.0</H3>

<P>New application.
