# Crypto Release Notes
This document describes the changes made to the Crypto application.
## Crypto 5.5.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- `crypto` will now work when ED25519 and X25519 are available while ED448 and X448 are not, which is the case in LibreSSL. This is necessary for supporting TLS1.3 using LibreSSL.
Own Id: OTP-19399 Aux Id: [GH-9000], [PR-9136]
[GH-9000]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/9000
[PR-9136]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/9136
## Crypto 5.5.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- `crypto:strong_rand_bytes/2` fixed to work on Ubuntu pro with installed FIPS support.
Own Id: OTP-19223 Aux Id: [PR-8800], [GH-8769]
- Fixed `crypto:hash_final/1` for digest types `shake128` and `shake256` when using OpenSSL 3.4 or newer.
Own Id: OTP-19329 Aux Id: [GH-8997], [PR-9002]
[PR-8800]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/8800
[GH-8769]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/8769
[GH-8997]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/8997
[PR-9002]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/9002
## Crypto 5.5.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- crypto built with `--enable-fips` will now accept an OpenSSL 3 lib without fips provider as long as fips mode is not enabled.
Own Id: OTP-19212 Aux Id: [GH-8562]
[GH-8562]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/issues/8562
### Improvements and New Features
- Added a warning in the documentation to avoid calling `crypto:start/0` as it does not work for FIPS mode. Use `application:start(crypto)` instead.
Own Id: OTP-19143
- Deprecation of RSA encryption functions has been reverted, as there still exists legitimate use cases with other padding modes than PKCS-1.
While use PCKS-1 padding with some versions of cryptolib could be considered secure, we still recommend using other algorithms that are less sensitive to oracle attacks.
Own Id: OTP-19163
- Compiler warnings for some removed functions have been corrected to point out the correct replacement functions.
Own Id: OTP-19186 Aux Id: [PR-8709]
[PR-8709]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/8709
## Crypto 5.5
### Improvements and New Features
- The documentation has been migrated to use Markdown and ExDoc.
Own Id: OTP-18955 Aux Id: [PR-8026]
- Removed functions `crypto_dyn_iv_init/3` and `crypto_dyn_iv_update/3` which were marked as deprecated since OTP 25.
Own Id: OTP-18973
- Add support for sm3 hash and hmac.
Own Id: OTP-18975 Aux Id: [PR-6658]
- `OPENSSL_thread_stop` is called when `crypto` is purged to not leak thread specific data.
Own Id: OTP-18978 Aux Id: [PR-7809]
- Add SM4 block cipher implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
Own Id: OTP-19005 Aux Id: [PR-8168]
- The existing function `ssl:key_exporter_materials/4` is now documented and supported.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
Own Id: OTP-19016 Aux Id: [PR-8233]
- Due to another attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding, known as the Marvin attack, about which we were alerted by Hubert Kario from Red Hat. You can find more details about the attack at
https://people.redhat.com/~hkario/marvin/
Functions that may be vulnerable are now deprecated.
Note that you might mitigate the problem
by using appropriate versions of OpenSSL together with our software, but we recommend not using them at all.
Also avoid using TLS versions prior to TLS-1.2 (not supported by default) and
do not enable RSA-key exchange cipher suites (not supported by default).
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

* Fix compile error when OPENSSL_NO_DES is defined.
Own Id: OTP-18921
* The function `crypto:pbkdf2_hmac` will no longer block the main schedulers. If the iteration count or block size parameters are such that the function is likely to take a long time to execute, the function will be scheduled to run on a dirty CPU scheduler.
Own Id: OTP-18996 Aux Id: PR-8173, PR-8174
## Crypto 5.4
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed some benign compile warnings on Windows.
Own Id: OTP-18895
### Improvements and New Features
- Enable engine support for OpenSSL versions 3.
Own Id: OTP-18832 Aux Id: PR-7763
## Crypto 5.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fix VM crash caused by `crypto being` purged and reloaded (by init:restart for
example) on OS with musl libc (such as Alpine linux).
Own Id: OTP-18670 Aux Id: GH-7436, PR-7450
- Improved understanding of LibreSSL versions. Support chacha20 and
chacha20_poly1305 for LibreSSL 3.7. Reflect removal of support for the DSS/DSA
algorithm which was done in LibreSSL 2.6.1.
Own Id: OTP-18758 Aux Id: PR-7209
### Improvements and New Features
- FIPS supported by `crypto` for OpenSSL 3.0._ and 3.1._.
Own Id: OTP-18666 Aux Id: PR-7392
## Crypto 5.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fix cmac_update aes_128_cbc for LibreSSL.
Own Id: OTP-18571
### Improvements and New Features
- Add support for SHAKE128 and SHAKE256.
Own Id: OTP-18204 Aux Id: PR-6203
- Make the `-DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT` flag work without warnings.
Own Id: OTP-18206 Aux Id: PR-6167
- Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1
The [`size/1`](`size/1`) BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can
result in worse types for Dialyzer.
When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple,
[`tuple_size/1`](`tuple_size/1`) should always be preferred.
When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary,
[`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`) should be preferred. However,
[`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`) also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a
whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to `byte_size/` is
preceded by a call to [`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`) to ensure that bitstrings
are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to
[`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`), so if one is not sure whether previous code
had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an
[`is_binary/1`](`is_binary/1`) test immediately before the call to
[`byte_size/1`](`byte_size/1`).
Own Id: OTP-18405 Aux Id:
GH-6672,PR-6702,PR-6768,PR-6700,PR-6769,PR-6812,PR-6814
- Handling of `on_load` modules during boot has been improved by adding an extra
step in the boot order for embedded mode that runs all `on_load` handlers,
instead of relying on explicit invocation of them, later, when the kernel
supervision tree starts.
This is mostly a code improvement and OTP internal simplification to avoid
future bugs and to simplify code maintenance.
Own Id: OTP-18447
## Crypto 5.1.4.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
* Fix building with `--enable-fips` with OpenSSL 3 on MacOS.
Own Id: OTP-19038 Aux Id: GH-8271, PR-8277
## Crypto 5.1.4.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
* The function `crypto:pbkdf2_hmac` will no longer block the main schedulers. If the iteration count or block size parameters are such that the function is likely to take a long time to execute, the function will be scheduled to run on a dirty CPU scheduler.
Own Id: OTP-18996 Aux Id: PR-8173, PR-8174
## Crypto 5.1.4.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fix VM crash caused by `crypto being` purged and reloaded (by init:restart for
example) on OS with musl libc (such as Alpine linux).
Own Id: OTP-18670 Aux Id: GH-7436, PR-7450
## Crypto 5.1.4
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- With this change, random errors are fixed for crypto:generate_key calls with
OpenSSL 3.
Own Id: OTP-18555
## Crypto 5.1.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- A user defined runtime library path configured using
`--with-ssl-rpath=<PATHS>` could fail to be enabled.
Own Id: OTP-18384 Aux Id: PR-6596
- Ensure that `configure` fails if a user defined runtime library path has been
passed by the user, but cannot set.
Own Id: OTP-18408
## Crypto 5.1.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fix configure with `--with-ssl` and `--disable-dynamic-ssl-lib` on Windows.
Own Id: OTP-18147 Aux Id: GH-6024, PR-6056
- Remove all references correctly in the garbage collection if an engine handle
was not explicit unloaded.
Own Id: OTP-18152
- Changed the behaviour of the engine load/unload functions
The engine load/unload functions have got changed semantics to get a more
consistent behaviour and work correct when variables are garbage collected.
The load functions now don't register the methods for the engine to replace.
That will now be handled with the new functions
engine_register/engine_unregister if needed.
Some functions are removed from the documentation and therefor the API, but
they are left in the code for compatibility.
- engine_load/4: is now the same as engine_load/3
- engine_unload/2: is now the same as engine_unload/1
- ensure_engine_loaded/3: is now the same as ensure_engine_loaded/2
- ensure_engine_unloaded/1, ensure_engine_unloaded/2: is now the same as
engine_unload/1
\*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***
Own Id: OTP-18172 Aux Id: ERIERL-826
- Fixed a naming bug for AES-CFB and Blowfish-CFB/OFB when linked with OpenSSL
3.0 cryptolib.
Own Id: OTP-18200
- Sign/verify does now behave as in OTP-24 and earlier for eddsa.
Own Id: OTP-18205 Aux Id: GH-6219
### Improvements and New Features
- Pass elliptic curve names from crypto.erl to crypto's nif.
Own Id: OTP-18037
- The configure option `--disable-deprecated-warnings` is removed. It was used
for some releases when the support for OpenSSL 3.0 was not completed. It is
not needed in OTP 25.
Own Id: OTP-18133
- Crypto is now considered to be usable with the OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib for
production code.
ENGINE and FIPS are not yet fully functional.
Own Id: OTP-18153
- Do not exit if the legacy provider is missing in libcrypto 3.0.
Own Id: OTP-18217
## Crypto 5.1.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Note in the documentation that MODP (rfc3526) groups and OpenSSL 3.0 can give
an error if a call to `crypto:generate_key/2` specifies a key length, and that
length is to small.
Own Id: OTP-18046
### Improvements and New Features
- The cmac now uses only the 3.0 API
Own Id: OTP-18010
- Documentation is now updated with which OpenSSL cryptolib versions that OTP
currently is tested.
Own Id: OTP-18132
## Crypto 5.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fix timing bug in ensure_engine_loaded
When two ensure_engine_loaded() calls were done in parallel there was a
possibility that a crypto lib function was called by both instead of just one
of them which resulted in an error. This is solved by moving the
implementation from erlang down into a NIF function that uses a mutex to
protect the sensitive part.
Own Id: OTP-17858 Aux Id: ERIERL-728
- Remove faulty types `run_time_error()` and `descriptive_error()`.
Own Id: OTP-17984
### Improvements and New Features
- Input for `configure` scripts adapted to `autoconf` 2\.71.
Own Id: OTP-17414 Aux Id: PR-4967
- Add crypto:hash_equals/2
Own Id: OTP-17471 Aux Id: PR-4750
- Add /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl to standard locations to search for OpenSSL
cryptolib.

- The information in error messages are increased.
Previously the error was signaled with en error class exception `badarg`,
`notsup` or `error`, and also in some more ways like an other exception or a
return value in a non-standardized format.
Now it is an error-class exception
`{notsup|badarg|error, InfoFromCfile, Description::string()}`.
The `InfoFromCfile` is a term with name and line number of the C-file where
the error was found. This is primarily intended for a crypto maintainer or an
advanced user to find the cause of complicated errors - maybe in crypto
itself. The contents of that term might be changed in the future.
The `Description` is a clear text string that describes the error. In case of
`badarg` and `notsup` the intention is that it should help the user to find
the cause ("Bad key size" as an example). Specially for some `error` that are
unlikely, the string may not be possible to understand without deep knowledge
of the underlying cryptolib. Such messages are intended for a crypto
maintainer.
The first element on call stack (the `S` in
`try ... catch error:E:S .... end`) gives more information like the actual
argument list in the call of crypto and the argument number (if possible) in
the call to the NIF inside crypto.
The functions in crypto affected by this change are:
sign/4, sign/5, verify/5, verify/6,
generate_key/2, generate_key/3, compute_key/4,
hash/2, hash/4, hash_init/1, hash_update/4, hash_final/1,

pbkdf2_hmac/5,

crypto_get_data/1,
crypto_one_time/4, crypto_one_time/5, crypto_one_time_aead/6,

## Crypto 5.0.6.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Changed the behaviour of the engine load/unload functions
The engine load/unload functions have got changed semantics to get a more

## Crypto 5.0.6
### Improvements and New Features
- The crypto app in OTP can since OTP-24.2 be compiled, linked and used with the
new OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib.
The crypto app has 3.0 support has been improved, but is still \*\*not
recommended\*\* for other usages than experiments and alpha testing. There are
not yet any guaranties that it works, not even together with other OTP
applications like for example SSL and SSH, although there are no known errors.
Since the previous release, OTP-24.2, the following improvements have been
done:
\- It has been tested during nearly every nightly test on the OTP lab
\- The hash algorithms `md4` and `ripemd160` have been enabled with OpenSSL
3.0.
\- The ciphers `blowfish_cbc`, `blowfish_ecb`, `des_cbc`, `des_cfb`,
`des_ecb`, `rc2_cbc` and `rc4` have been enabled with OpenSSL 3.0.
Disabled or unsupported with OpenSSL 3.0 are still:
\- ENGINE support
\- FIPS mode
\- Other providers than the built-in ones
\- Compiling and linking with OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib in compatibility modes
(for example to behave as 1.1.1)
and, the ciphers `blowfish_cfb64` and `blowfish_ofb64` are not supported and
will not be either.
Deprecated functions in the OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib must not be disabled as
OTP/crypto still uses some of the deprecated API functions. The gcc flag
`-Wno-deprecated-declarations` is set to prevent deprecation warnings to be
printed when compiling.

### Improvements and New Features
- The crypto app in OTP can now be compiled, linked and used with the new
OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib.
It has not yet been extensively tested and is in this release \*\*not
recommended\*\* for other usages than experiments and alpha testing. There are
not yet any guaranties that it works, not even together with other OTP
applications like for example SSL and SSH, although there are no known errors.
Compiling and linking with OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib in compatibility modes (for
example to behave as 1.1.1) are not tested. It is not tested with external
providers.
The support for FIPS mode does not yet work, and is disabled when compiled
with OpenSSL 3.0.
Deprecated functions in the OpenSSL 3.0 cryptolib must not be disabled as
OTP/crypto still uses some of the deprecated API functions. The gcc flag
`-Wno-deprecated-declarations` is set to prevent deprecation warnings to be
printed when compiling.
The hash algorithms `md4` and `ripemd160` are disabled temporarily when
compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.
The ciphers `blowfish_cbc`, `blowfish_cfb64`, `blowfish_ecb`,
`blowfish_ofb64`, `des_cbc`, `des_cfb`, `des_ecb`, `rc2_cbc` and `rc4` are

Large parts of the `configure` script of `crypto` have been rewritten with
various improvements and bug fixes. It is now better at finding usable OpenSSL
libraries, but will in the following cases fail to detect OpenSSL libraries
where it previously sometimes detected the libraries by chance:
- OpenSSL installations with `include` directory and `lib` directory parts
installed in different base directories. In order to detect such
installations after this change, the user must explicitly specify the
locations using the
[`--with-ssl=<path>`](`e:system:install.md#advanced-configuration-and-build-of-erlang-otp_configuring`)
and the
[`--with-ssl-incl=<path>`](`e:system:install.md#advanced-configuration-and-build-of-erlang-otp_configuring`)
`configure` command line arguments.
- When building with old `gcc` compilers or other compilers on Debian
derivatives with multiarch directories under the `lib` directory. In order
to detect such installations after this change, the user must explicitly
specify the multiarch directory name using the
[`--with-ssl-lib-subdir=lib/<multiarch-dir>`](`e:system:install.md#advanced-configuration-and-build-of-erlang-otp_configuring`)
`configure` command line argument.

### Improvements and New Features
- A new `rand` module algorithm, `exro928ss` (Xoroshiro928\*\*), has been
implemented. It has got a really long period and good statistical quality for
all output bits, while still being only about 50% slower than the default
algorithm.
The same generator is also used as a long period counter in a new `crypto`
plugin for the `rand` module, algorithm `crypto_aes`. This plugin uses AES-256
to scramble the counter which buries any detectable statistical artifacts.
Scrambling is done in chunks which are cached to get good amortized speed
(about half of the default algorithm).

- A new API is implemented in crypto. See the CRYPTO user's guide, chapter _New
and Old API_ for more information.
The old api with the `crypto:block_*` and `crypto:stream_*` interfaces are
kept for compatibility, but implemented with the new api. Please note that
since the error checking is more thorough, there _might_ be arguments with for
example faulty lengths that are no longer accepted.

- Fixed build link error on Windows. Unresolved symbol 'bcmp'.
Own Id: OTP-15750 Aux Id: ERL-905
## Crypto 4.4.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixes a bug that caused `crypto:sign` and `crypto:verify` to return the error
message `badarg` instead of `notsup` in one case. That case was when signing
or verifying with eddsa keys (that is, ed15519 or ed448), but only when FIPS
was supported and enabled.
Own Id: OTP-15634
### Improvements and New Features
- Added a crypto benchmark test suite.
Own Id: OTP-15447
## Crypto 4.4
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Updated the RSA options part in the crypto application's C-code, documentation
and tests.
Own Id: OTP-15302
### Improvements and New Features
- Added ed25519 and ed448 sign/verify.
Requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 or higher as cryptolib under the OTP application
`crypto`.
Own Id: OTP-15419 Aux Id: OTP-15094
- Fixed valgrind warnings.
Own Id: OTP-15467
## Crypto 4.3.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- The RSA options `rsa_mgf1_md`, `rsa_oaep_md`, and `rsa_oaep_label` were always
disabled. They will now be enabled when a suitable cryptolib is used.
They are still experimental and may change without prior notice.
Own Id: OTP-15212 Aux Id: ERL-675, PR1899, PR838
- The ciphers `aes_ige256` and `blowfish_cbc` had naming issues in
`crypto:next_iv/2`.
Own Id: OTP-15283
- the `RSA_SSLV23_PADDING` is disabled if LibreSSL is used as cryptlib. This is
due to compilation problems.
This will be investigated further in the future.
Own Id: OTP-15303
### Improvements and New Features
- The supported named elliptic curves are now reported in `crypto:supports/0` in
a new entry tagged by `'curves'`.
The function `crypto:ec_curves/0` is kept for compatibility.
Own Id: OTP-14717 Aux Id: OTP-15244
- The typing in the CRYPTO and PUBLIC_KEY applications are reworked and a few
mistakes are corrected.
The documentation is now generated from the typing and some clarifications are
made.
A new chapter on Algorithm Details such as key sizes and availability is added
to the CRYPTO User's Guide.
Own Id: OTP-15134
- Support for SHA3 both as a separate hash and in HMAC is now available if
OpenSSL 1.1.1 or higher is used as cryptolib.

- The supported RSA options for sign/verify and encrypt/decrypt are now reported
in `crypto:supports/0` in a new entry tagged by '`rsa_opts`'.
The exakt set is still experimental and may change without prior notice.
Own Id: OTP-15260
- The cipher `aes_ccm` is added.
Own Id: OTP-15286
## Crypto 4.3.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Update the crypto engine functions to handle multiple loads of an engine.
`engine_load/3/4` is updated so it doesn't add the engine ID to OpenSSLs
internal list of engines which makes it possible to run the engine_load more
than once if it doesn't contain global data.
Added `ensure_engine_loaded/2/3` which guarantees that the engine just is
loaded once and the following calls just returns a reference to it. This is
done by add the ID to the internal OpenSSL list and check if it is already
registered when the function is called.
Added `ensure_engine_unloaded/1/2` to unload engines loaded with
ensure_engine_loaded.
Then some more utility functions are added.
`engine_add/1`, adds the engine to OpenSSL internal list
`engine_remove/1`, remove the engine from OpenSSL internal list
`engine_get_id/1`, fetch the engines id
`engine_get_name/1`, fetch the engine name

options added. This is a modified half of PR-838.
Own Id: OTP-14446
- The crypto API is extended to use private/public keys stored in an Engine for
sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt operations.
The ssl application provides an API to use this new engine concept in TLS.
Own Id: OTP-14448
- Add support to plug in alternative implementations for some or all of the
cryptographic operations supported by the OpenSSL Engine API. When configured
appropriately, OpenSSL calls the engine's implementation of these operations
instead of its own.

from a failed call to load/reload/upgrade in the text part of the error tuple.
The `crypto` NIF makes use of this feature by returning the source line
where/if the initialization fails.
Own Id: OTP-13951

## Crypto 3.1
### Improvements and New Features
- Refactor ecdsa cipher to simplify code and improve performance.
Own Id: OTP-11320
## Crypto 3.0
### Improvements and New Features
- Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas Schultz
In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher suites in SSL/TLS,
additions to handle elliptic curve infrastructure has been added to public_key
and crypto.
This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to gain consistency and
remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP applications using crypto has been
updated to use the new API.
Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers equivalent security with
smaller key sizes than other public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result
in savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational cost that make ECC
especially attractive for constrained environments.
Own Id: OTP-11009
- Fixed a spelling mistake in crypto docs. Thanks to Klaus Trainer
Own Id: OTP-11058
### Known Bugs and Problems
- Make the crypto functions interruptible by chunking input when it is very
large and bumping reductions in the nifs.

Impact: Individual calls to crypto functions may take longer time but over all
system performance should improve as crypto calls will not become throughput
bottlenecks.

Own Id: OTP-8781
- A number of memory leaks in the crypto NIF library have been fixed.
Own Id: OTP-8810
### Improvements and New Features

NIF libraries, etc based on build type of the runtime system.
The NIF library for crypto can now be built for valgrind and/or debug as
separate NIF libraries that will be automatically loaded if the runtime system
has been built with a matching build type.

Own Id: OTP-8700
## Crypto 1.6.4
### Improvements and New Features
- Cross compilation improvements and other build system improvements.
Most notable:
- Lots of cross compilation improvements. The old cross compilation support
was more or less non-existing as well as broken. Please, note that the cross
compilation support should still be considered as experimental. Also note
that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without
modifications. For more information on cross compiling Erlang/OTP see the
`$ERL_TOP/INSTALL-CROSS.md` file.
- Support for staged install using
[DESTDIR](http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html). The old
broken `INSTALL_PREFIX` has also been fixed. For more information see the
`$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md` file.
- Documentation of the `release` target of the top `Makefile`. For more
information see the `$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md` file.
- `make install` now by default creates relative symbolic links instead of
absolute ones. For more information see the `$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md` file.
- `$ERL_TOP/configure --help=recursive` now works and prints help for all
applications with `configure` scripts.
- Doing `make install`, or `make release` directly after `make all` no longer
triggers miscellaneous rebuilds.
- Existing bootstrap system is now used when doing `make install`, or
`make release` without a preceding `make all`.
- The `crypto` and `ssl` applications use the same runtime library path when
dynamically linking against `libssl.so` and `libcrypto.so`. The runtime
library search path has also been extended.
- The `configure` scripts of `erl_interface` and `odbc` now search for thread
libraries and thread library quirks the same way as ERTS do.
- The `configure` script of the `odbc` application now also looks for odbc
libraries in `lib64` and `lib/64` directories when building on a 64-bit
system.
- The `config.h.in` file in the `erl_interface` application is now
automatically generated in instead of statically updated which reduces the
risk of `configure` tests without any effect.
(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing)
(Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross configuration and testing)
\*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***

- The crypto module now supports Blowfish in ECB, CBC and OFB modes. (Thanks to
Paul Oliver.)
Own Id: OTP-8331
- The documentation is now possible to build in an open source environment after
a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation
build process.
\- The arity calculation is updated.
\- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the
generated links so the links will look like
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of
"http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".
\- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is
loaded.
\- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei
Golovan)
\- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can
be used for non OTP applications.

## Crypto 1.6.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Suppressed false valgrind errors caused by libcrypto using uninitialized data
as entropy.
Own Id: OTP-8200
### Improvements and New Features
- The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that
exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.
Own Id: OTP-8201
- When the crypto application failed to load the OpenSSL/LibEAY shared object,
error indication was sparse. Now a more specific error message is sent to the
error logger.
Own Id: OTP-8281
## Crypto 1.6.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed emulator crash caused by crypto using an old openssl version that did
not cope with large file descriptors.
Own Id: OTP-8261 Aux Id: seq11434
## Crypto 1.6.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- `Makefile.in` has been updated to use the LDFLAGS environment variable (if
set). (Thanks to Davide Pesavento.)
Own Id: OTP-8157
### Improvements and New Features
- Support for Blowfish cfb64 added to `crypto`.
Own Id: OTP-8096
- New function `crypto:aes_cbc_ivec`
Own Id: OTP-8141
## Crypto 1.6
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- The `dh_compute_key` sometimes returned a SharedSecret of incorrect size.
Own Id: OTP-7674
### Improvements and New Features
- Optimization for drivers by creating small binaries direct on process heap.
Own Id: OTP-7762
## Crypto 1.5.3
### Improvements and New Features
- Added new functions: dss_verify/3, rsa_verify/3, rsa_verify/4, dss_sign/2,
rsa_sign/2, rsa_sign/3, rsa_public_encrypt, rsa_private_decrypt/3,
rsa_private_encrypt/3, rsa_public_decrypt/3, dh_generate_key/1,
dh_generate_key/2, dh_compute_key/3.

## Crypto 1.5.2.1
### Improvements and New Features
- Minor performance optimization.
Own Id: OTP-7521
## Crypto 1.5.2
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- ./configure has been improved to find 64-bit OpenSSL libraries.
Own Id: OTP-7270
### Improvements and New Features
- crypto and zlib drivers improved to allow concurrent smp access.
Own Id: OTP-7262
## Crypto 1.5.1.1
### Improvements and New Features
- The linked in driver for the crypto application is now linked statically
against the OpenSSL libraries, to avoid installation and runtime problems in
connection to the OpenSSL library locations.
Own Id: OTP-6680
- Minor Makefile changes.
Own Id: OTP-6689
## Crypto 1.5
### Improvements and New Features
- It is now explicitly checked at start-up that the crypto driver is properly
loaded (Thanks to Claes Wikstrom).
Own Id: OTP-6109
## Crypto 1.4
### Improvements and New Features
- The previously undocumented and UNSUPPORTED `ssh` application has been updated
and documented. This release of the `ssh` 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.
Also, more cryptographic algorithms have been added to the `crypto`
application.
\*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY \***

## Crypto 1.3
### Improvements and New Features
- Added support for RFC 3826 - The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Cipher
Algorithm in the SNMP User-based Security Model.
Martin Björklund
## Crypto 1.2.3
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- 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.
Linked in drivers on MacOSX are not compiled with the undocumented -lbundle1.o
switch anymore. Thanks to Sean Hinde who sent us a patch.
Linked in driver in crypto, and port programs in ssl, now compiles on OSF1.
Minor makefile improvements in runtime_tools.
Own Id: OTP-5346
## Crypto 1.2.2
### Improvements and New Features
- 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.
Own Id: OTP-5279
## Crypto 1.2.1
### Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- 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).
Own Id: OTP-4828 Aux Id: seq8193
## Crypto 1.2
### Improvements and New Features
- 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 `libcrypto.so` (Unix) or `libeay32.[lib|dll]` (Win32).
For further details see the crypto(6) application manual page.
- This version of Crypto uses the new DES interface of OpenSSL 0.9.7, which is
not backward compatible with earlier versions of OpenSSL.
- The functions `des_ede3_cbc_encrypt/5` and `des_ede3_cbc_decrypt/5` have been
renamed to `des3_cbc_encrypt/5` and `des3_cbc_decrypt/5`, respectively. The
old functions have been retained (they are deprecated and not listed in the
crypto(3) manual page).
### Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- The start of crypto failed on Windows, due to erroneous addition of a DES3
algorithm.
Own Id: OTP-4684
Aux Id: seq7864
## Crypto 1.1.3
### Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- 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 `crypto_drv.c`. This is of importance only for the open source version of
Crypto.
## Crypto 1.1.2
### Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- In the manual page `m:crypto` the function names `md5_finish` and `sha_finish`
have been changed to `md5_final` and `sha_final` to correctly document the
implementation.
Own Id: OTP-3409
## Crypto 1.1.1
Code replacement in runtime is supported. Upgrade can be done from from version
1.1 and downgrade to version 1.1.
### Improvements and New Features
- 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.
## Crypto 1.1
### Reported Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- On Windows the crypto_drv was incorrectly linked to static run-time libraries
instead of dynamic ones.
Own Id: OTP-3240
## Crypto 1.0
New application.
