./security/botan3, Portable, easy to use, and efficient C++ crypto library (v3)

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.6.1nb2, Package name: botan3-3.6.1nb2, Maintainer: nros

Botan is a crypto library written in C++. It provides a variety of
cryptographic algorithms, including common ones such as AES, MD5, SHA,
HMAC, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and ECDSA, as well as many others that
are more obscure or specialized. It also offers X.509v3 certificates
and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests. A message processing
system that uses a filter/pipeline metaphor allows for many common
cryptographic tasks to be completed with just a few lines of code.
Assembly optimizations for common CPUs, including x86, x86-64, and
PowerPC, offers further speedups for critical tasks such as SHA-1
hashing and multiple precision integer operations.

This package contains major version 3 of the library.

Log message:
Update botan3 and its python binding to version 3.6.1

This version includes the patch to fix build on non-vsx
powerpc cpus by he.

Changes from release notes:
Version 3.6.1, 2024-10-26

* Fix a bug in x86 CPUID detection introduced in 3.6.0 which would
  cause crashes on systems which have BMI1 but not BMI2.
  (GH #4402 #4401)

* Fix a bug in SLH-DSA signing, which did not default to the FIPS
  required randomized variant. (GH #4398)

* Modify how elliptic curve blinding is performed, reducing the number
  of self-additions that may occur during multiplication. (GH #4408)

* In speed command line utility, also iterate keygen several times.
  (GH #4381)

Version 3.6.0, 2024-10-21

* Fully integrate and further optimize the new ECC library first
  introduced in 3.5.0. For common curves, operations are 2 to 3
  times faster. This also introduces a new API for low level EC
  operations, such a point multiplication, using EC_Scalar and
  EC_AffinePoint types.

  if an IP address is used to initialize the TLS_Server_Info struct.
  (GH #4059)

* During X.509 certificate verification, first verify the entire
  sequence of signatures, then do other validation. (GH #4045)

* In DTLS fix a bug affecting retransmission of client hellos. (GH #4037)

  credentials extension) from RFC 8226. (GH #4116)

* Add One-Step KDF from SP 800-56C (GH #4121)

* Fix a bug in RFC 6979 mode ECDSA. This only caused problems when
  testing with certain curves and does not have any security or interop
  implications. (GH #4040)

* Previously elliptic curve private keys could be of any size, with the
  effective key reduced modulo the group order. Now during decoding the
  private key must be in the specified bound. (GH #4040)

* Elliptic curve groups now verify that the prime and group order are
  related in the manner expected. (GH #4039 #4041)

* Add a script to run the Limbo X.509 path validation test suite.

* Update the BoGo TLS test suite (GH #4078)

* Deprecate various low level BigInt and elliptic curve interfaces
  (GH #4038 #4056)

* In 3.3.0, support for application specific curves in EC_Group with
  parameters larger than 521 bits was deprecated. This release expands
  that deprecation to further restrict future use of application
  specific curves (see deprecated.rst for details). Add a new EC_Group
  constructor which enforces these restrictions. (GH #4038)

* Fix a bug when creating a PKCS10 request or X.509 self signed
  certificate when SubjectAlternativeName was included in the provided
  extensions. If this occurred, any other values (eg opts.dns) would
  be ignored. (GH #4032)

* Various low level multi precision integer refactorings and
  improvements. (GH #4156 #4149 #4007 #4008 #3989 #3987)

  (GH #4109)

* Improve the utilities for checked (overflow safe) addition and
  multiplication. (GH #3999)

* Optimize parsing of IPv4 dotted quad strings (GH #4058)

* A system for marking modules as deprecated was introduced in 3.4.0,
  but it did not mark any modules as deprecated. This has now been
  applied to various modules, which will then be disabled if
  --disable-deprecated-features option is used at build time.
  (GH #4050)

* Fix a bug in configure.py that caused --with-stack-protector to not
  work. (GH #3996)

* Upgrade CI to use XCode 15.2 on x86-64 and XCode 15.3 on aarch64.
  (GH #4005)

* Update most CI builds to run on Ubuntu 24.04 (GH #4098)

  expiration date of root certificates. (GH #3938)

* Support for hybrid EC point encoding is now deprecated. (GH #3981)

* Support for creating EC_Group objects with parameters larger than
  521 bits is now deprecated (GH #3980)

  experimental features. (GH #3910)

  (GH #3971)

* Add new FFI interface botan_cipher_requires_entire_message (GH #3969)

* Internal refactorings of the mp layer to support a new elliptic curve
  library. (GH #3973 #3977 #3962 #3957 #3964 #3956 #3961 #3950)

* Use a new method for constant time division in Kyber to avoid a
  possible side channel where the compiler inserts use of a variable
  time division. (GH #3959)

* Refactor test RNG usage to improve reproducibility. (GH #3920)

* Add std::span interfaces to BigInt (GH #3866)

* Refactorings and improvements to low level load/store utility
  functions. (GH #3869)

* Fix the amalgamation build on ARM64 (GH #3931)
