|
|
by several software packages and are more secure than the standard
|
|
form
|
|
o PKCS#5 v2.0 implementation
|
|
o Password callbacks have a new void * argument for application data
|
|
o Avoid various memory leaks
|
|
o New pipe-like BIO that allows using the SSL library when actual I/O
|
|
must be handled by the application (BIO pair)
|
|
|
|
Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.2b and OpenSSL 0.9.3:
|
|
o Lots of enhancements and cleanups to the Configuration mechanism
|
|
o RSA OEAP related fixes
|
|
o Added `openssl ca -revoke' option for revoking a certificate
|
|
o Source cleanups: const correctness, type-safe stacks and ASN.1 SETs
|
|
o Source tree cleanups: removed lots of obsolete files
|
|
o Thawte SXNet, certificate policies and CRL distribution points
|
|
extension support
|
|
o Preliminary (experimental) S/MIME support
