2015-06-20Remove obsolete MDC-2DES from libcrypto.Doug Hogan
ok deraadt@ jsing@ miod@
2015-06-19Disable ENGINE_load_dynamic (dynamic engine support).Brent Cook
We do not build, test or ship any dynamic engines, so we can remove the dynamic engine loader as well. This leaves a stub initialization function in its place. ok beck@, reyk@, miod@
2015-02-14Words read better when they are separated by spaces.Miod Vallat
2014-12-06fix manual names that clash with other manualsIngo Schwarze
2014-07-13OPENSSL_{malloc,free} -> {malloc,free}Miod Vallat
2014-07-12Remove this sentence:Miod Vallat
``The probability that a randomly generated key is weak is -1/2^52, so it is not really worth checking for them.'' This kind of naively optimistic attitude is not compatible with security.
2014-07-11Huge documentation update for libcrypto and libssl, mostly from Matt Caswell,Miod Vallat
Jeff Trawick, Jean-Paul Calderone, Michal Bozon, Jeffrey Walton and Rich Salz, via OpenSSL trunk (with some parts not applying to us, such as SSLv2 support, at least partially removed).
2014-07-10Try and fix the horrible coding style of the example code snippets.Miod Vallat
2014-07-10Remove empty sections and references to des_modes(7) which we don't have.Miod Vallat
2014-07-10Fewer lies, also do not document DES_3cbc_encrypt anymore.Miod Vallat
2014-07-10Features introduce in OpenSSL 0.9.8 do not deserve their own section.Miod Vallat
Instead, fold their description in the main documentation, and update the history section to mention them as well.
2014-07-10Attempt to (incompletely) document EVP_aes_*().Miod Vallat
When EVP_des_cbc() was suggested, suggest EVP_aes_256_cbc() instead. Remove mention of EVP_des_ede3_cbc() being the algorithm of choice for S/MIME. Don't mention US-export limited RC2 algorithms, you'd better not know about them.
2014-07-09Update to match the current state of crypto/rand, and remove MLINKS forMiod Vallat
RAND_event and RAND_screen.
2014-07-09Remove mention that the PRNG needs to be seeded before invoking someMiod Vallat
functions.
2014-07-09miod@ fixed the "bug" so remove reference to it in the man pod^Wpage.Joel Sing
2014-06-28Add a missing word.Jeremie Courreges-Anglas
2014-05-30remove some of the bigger lies, as applicable to libressl.Ted Unangst
2014-05-04Improve line wrapping for lines exceeding 80 chars.Jim Razmus II
ok jmc@
2014-05-04Remove trailing whitespace.Jim Razmus II
fine jmc@
2014-04-19egd is goneTheo de Raadt
2014-04-16Sync the list of man pages for libcrypto, explicity rename conflictingMartin Pieuchot
pages instead of doing it in the Makefiles and move a libssl page where it belongs. ok miod@
2014-04-15Replace the old OpenSSL PRNG by direct use of arc4random_buf(), keeping theMiod Vallat
existing RAND interfaces unchanged. All interfaces allowing external feed or seed of the RNG (either from a file or a local entropy gathering daemon) are kept for ABI compatibility, but are no longer do anything. While the OpenSSL PRNG was required 15+ years ago when many systems lacked proper entropy collection, things have evolved and one can reasonably assume it is better to use the kernel (system global) entropy pool rather than trying to build one's own and having to compensate for thread scheduling... <RANT> Whoever thought that RAND_screen(), feeding the PRNG with the contents of the local workstation's display, under Win32, was a smart idea, ought to be banned from security programming. </RANT> ok beck@ deraadt@ tedu@
2014-04-14Remove the GMP engine: It was an experimental engine using libgmp asReyk Floeter
an alternative backend for BIGNUM calculations. It is PoC code that is not enabled in OpenSSL and probably not used by anymore. ok deraadt@
2014-04-14Remove the nuron engine. The static engine is not standalone and theReyk Floeter
FPGA-based device is long obsolete.
2014-04-14Remove the nCipher CHIL engine. It is not standalone and depends onReyk Floeter
external libraries that aren't covered by the same license.
2014-04-13Remove the AEP engine: it is not standalone and doesn't seem to beReyk Floeter
relevant anymore. OpenSSL should have a better way to include 3rd party engines: either completely and free or external. But including a wrapper for a non-free wrapper in the code base does not make much sense and could also be provided by the vendor. ok deraadt@
2014-04-13Remove the Atalla engine: It is not standalone and depends on externalReyk Floeter
non-free libraries. OpenSSL should have a better way to include 3rd party engines: either completely free or external. But including a wrapper for a non-free wrapper in the code base does not make much sense and could also be provided by the vendor. ok deraadt@
2014-04-13Remove the cswift engine: it is not standalone and we don't have theReyk Floeter
hardware. The vendor_defns/cswift.h does not specify a copyright and theoretically defaults to the OpenSSL license, but it also mentions that it includes parts that have been "clipped" from CryptoSwift's proprietary headers. This file should better include an explicit copyright statement or mention OpenSSL's library instead of the ambiguous "Attribution notice". ok deraadt@
2014-04-13Remove the "sureware" engine:Reyk Floeter
The vendor_defns/sureware.h file by Baltimore Technologies Ltd. has a copyright that does not grant rights! Vendor files should either include a compatible license in the copyright statement or use OpenSSL's defaults, but adding a copyright statement without any terms is not acceptable. It should not have been included in the first place. ok deraadt@
2014-04-13Remove the Broadcom ubsec engine:Reyk Floeter
The vendor_defns/hw_ubsec.h file has a copyright that does not grant rights! Vendor files should either include a compatible license in the copyright statement or use OpenSSL's defaults, but adding a copyright statement without any terms is not acceptable. It should not have been included in the first place. (The ubsec(4) kernel driver is not affected by this change) ok deraadt@
2014-04-13Remove the IBM 4758 engine: we don't have this hardware and it is anReyk Floeter
old PCI accelerator that was EOL'ed in 2005. ok deraadt@
