[ANNOUNCE] OpenSSL 0.9.6h released
by Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

OpenSSL version 0.9.6h release correction ========================================= A small packaging fault was just discovered. In crypto/opensslv.h, the macro OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER has the value 0x00906080L when it should really be 0x0090608fL. The cause of this fault was a tagging error in our CVS repository. To solve this issue, the faulty has been corrected, and we have rebuilt the 0.9.6h distribution. The 0.9.6h [engine] distribution is unaffected by this. The corrected distribution is available for download via HTTP and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html) o http://www.openssl.org/source/ o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/ The distributed file name is: o openssl-0.9.6h.tar.gz MD5 checksum: 1a0c2bee9f6b0af95ce65106462411f5 The checksum was calculated using the following commands: openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.6h.tar.gz Additionally, for those who don't really want to reload a full distribution, the following very small patch file is available: o openssl-0.9.6h.BOGUS-0.9.6h.patch Yours, The OpenSSL Project Team...

[ANNOUNCE] OpenSSL 0.9.7 beta 5 released
by Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

The fifth beta release of OpenSSL 0.9.7 is now available from the OpenSSL FTP site <URL: ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/>. This beta contains quite a number of fixes since beta 4. This is NOT a final beta, even if that was the original plan. The updated plan has beta 6 as final beta. It is scheduled for release on Thursday 2002-12-12. The final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7 has been rescheduled for Tuesday 2002-12-17. To make sure that it will work correctly, please test beta 5 thoroughly, for example with your favorite piece of software, and please report back to us! Also, please test on as many platforms as you have available and you have time for, especially on less common platforms. If you're interested in helping further, please join the openssl-dev(a)openssl.org list, where test requests on specific development snapshots will be announced. Changes between 0.9.7 beta 4 and 0.9.7 beta 5 include: o Bug fixes. o Only supports MIT Kerberos for now, Heimdal support is disabled. o Support for new platforms: Linux x86_64. The full set of changes between 0.9.6{x} and 0.9.7 beta 5 include: o New library section OCSP. o Complete rewrite of ASN1 code. o CRL checking in verify code and openssl utility. o Extension copying in 'ca' utility. o Flexible display options in 'ca' utility. o Provisional support for international characters with UTF8. o Support for external crypto devices ('engine') is no longer a separate distribution. o New elliptic curve library section. o New AES (Rijndael) library section. o Support for new platforms: Windows CE, Tandem OSS, A/UX, AIX 64-bit, Linux x86_64 o Extended support for some platforms: VxWorks o Enhanced support for shared libraries. o Support for pkg-config. o Lots of new manuals. o Change DES API to clean up the namespace (some applications link also against libdes providing similar functions having the same name). Provide macros for backward compatibility (will be removed in the future). o Unify handling of cryptographic algorithms (software and engine) to be available via EVP routines for asymmetric and symmetric ciphers. o NCONF: new configuration handling routines. o Change API to use more 'const' modifiers to improve error checking and help optimizers. o Finally remove references to RSAref. o Reworked parts of the BIGNUM code. o Support for new engines: Broadcom ubsec, Accelerated Encryption Processing, IBM 4758. o A few new engines added in the demos area. o Extended and corrected OID (object identifier) table. o PRNG: query at more locations for a random device, automatic query for EGD style random sources at several locations. o SSL/TLS: allow optional cipher choice according to server's preference. o SSL/TLS: allow server to explicitly set new session ids. o SSL/TLS: support Kerberos cipher suites (RFC2712). Only supports MIT Kerberos for now. o SSL/TLS: allow more precise control of renegotiations and sessions. o SSL/TLS: add callback to retrieve SSL/TLS messages. o SSL/TLS: support AES cipher suites (RFC3268). The distribution file name is: o openssl-0.9.7-beta5.tar.gz MD5 checksum: 2d8dcddb3b545d9354178d41f8bb01bd The checksum was calculated using the following commands: openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.7-beta5.tar.gz --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

[ANNOUNCE] OpenSSL 0.9.6h released
by Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

OpenSSL version 0.9.6h released =============================== OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS http://www.openssl.org/ The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.9.6h of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new OpenSSL version is a bugfix release. This will be the last release in the 0.9.6 series. The most significant changes are: o New configuration targets for Tandem OSS and A/UX. o New OIDs for Microsoft attributes. o Better handling of SSL session caching. o Better comparison of distinguished names. o Better handling of shared libraries in a mixed GNU/non-GNU environment. o Support assembler code with Borland C. o Fixes for length problems. o Fixes for uninitialised variables. o Fixes for memory leaks, some unusual crashes and some race conditions. o Fixes for smaller building problems. o Updates of manuals, FAQ and other instructive documents. We consider OpenSSL 0.9.6h to be the best version of OpenSSL available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as soon as possible. OpenSSL 0.9.6h is available for download via HTTP and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html) o http://www.openssl.org/source/ o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/ [1] OpenSSL comes in the form of two distributions this time. The reasons for this is that we want to deploy the external crypto device support but don't want to have it part of the "normal" distribution just yet. The distribution containing the external crypto device support is popularly called "engine", and is considered experimental. It's been fairly well tested on Unix and flavors thereof. If run on a system with no external crypto device, it will work just like the "normal" distribution. The distribution file names are: o openssl-0.9.6h.tar.gz [normal] MD5 checksum: 621bef36ad61012bb71945a1cb449073 o openssl-engine-0.9.6h.tar.gz [engine] MD5 checksum: a7e3f5c0a5451ca666e4cbe23a8617a2 The checksums were calculated using the following commands: openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.6h.tar.gz openssl md5 < openssl-engine-0.9.6h.tar.gz Yours, The OpenSSL Project Team...

Re: Money is about expected future value....nothing more, nothing less

From: "Tim May" <tcmay(a)got.net> > Nearly all forms of money are more like IOUs than any other single > description. Right. > With British money it is the Bank of England (so I hear, > but maybe it has changed to some sort of U.K. reference) that says > "Anyone who presents this IOU for 10 pounds will be given either > another IOU for the same amount or will be, sometimes, given gold or > silver." Wrong. I can do this - I can write IOUs "redeemable" in other IOUs or, "sometimes", in gold or silver. The reason the IOUs emitted by the Bank of England were *initially* accepted was that they were redeemable in gold or silver. *One* reason they are now accepted is that they are legal tender - you can pay your taxes with them, and companies are forbidden from accepting them as payment.

This, with obligatory cameras in cybercafes, is just plugging the anonymity holes. Also, one of unmentioned consenquences is that any "security" will make self-organising networks harder to implement. Guess who benefits.

Yeah, I've done that for a while now. But here in wisconsin (USA) we have a new law that goes into effect on Jan 1: The state maintains an official "no call" list. If your name is on the list and telemarketers call, the state can take them to court. I don't know how effective it'll be, but I think losing money in court would be enough of an incentive to pay attention to the list. If enough states do it the telemarketers may decide it's worth fighting in court. Life gets interesting at that point... Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
