<h2>1.0 Introduction</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Bouncy Castle Crypto package is a Java implementation of
|
|
cryptographic algorithms. The package is organised so that it
|
|
contains a light-weight API suitable for use in any environment
|
|
(including the newly released J2ME) with the additional infrastructure
|
|
to conform the algorithms to the JCE framework.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>2.0 Release History</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.1.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.50
|
|
<h3>2.1.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The DualECSP800DRBG sometimes truncated the last block in the generated stream incorrectly. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Keys produced from RSA certificates with specialised parameters would lose the parameter settings. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>OAEP parameters were being ignored on CMS key trans recipient processing. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>OpenPGP NotationData was restricting the name and value lengths to 255 characters and truncating silently. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>CTS mode is now in alignment with the errata for RFC 2040, as detailed in RFC 3962.</li>
|
|
<li>Occasionally the provider implementation of DH KeyAgreement would drop a leading zero byte off the start of the shared secret (see RFC 2631 2.1.2). This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>RFC3394WrapEngine was ignoring the offset parameter inOff and using zero instead. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>GOST keys would not encode using the CryptoPro parameter set, even if it was available. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>The TimeStampRequest stream constructor was not setting the extensions field correctly. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Default RC2 parameters for 40 bit RC2 keys in CMSEnvelopedData were encoding incorrectly. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>In case of a long hash the DSTU4145 implementation would sometimes remove one bit too much during truncation. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.1.3 Additional Features and Functionality</h3>

|
<ul>
|
|

|
|
<li>Package version inforamation is now included in the jar MANIFEST.MF.</li>
|
|
<li>The JDK 1.5+ provider will now recognise and use GCMParameterSpec if it is run in a 1.7 JVM.</li>

</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.1.4 Notes</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>org.bouncycastle.crypto.DerivationFunction is now a base interface, the getDigest() method appears on DigestDerivationFunction.</li>
|
|
<li>Recent developments at NIST indicate the SHA-3 may be changed before final standardisation. Please bare this in mind if you are using it.</li>
|
|
<li>Other recent developments have raised concerns about the DualECDRGB. We have left the class in place for now, but it is now possible to provide your own parameter values, rather than using the NIST defined ones, if you choose to do so.</li>
|
|
<li>Most deprecated methods have been removed from the PKIX API.</li>
|
|
<li>As the IDEA patent has finally expired, IDEA is now supported by the standard provider.</li>
|
|
<li>ECDH support for OpenPGP should still be regarded as experimental. It is still possible there will be compliance issues with other implementations.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|

|
|
Release 1.49
|

|
|
<li>The handling of escaped characters in X500 names is much improved.</li>
|
|
<li>The BC CertificateFactory no longer returns null for CertificateFactory.getCertPathEncodings().</li>

</ul>
|
|
|
|

|
|
Release 1.47
|
|
<h3>2.4.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>OpenPGP ID based certifications now support UTF-8. Note: this may mean that some old certifications no longer validate - if this happens a retry can be added using by converting the ID using Strings.fromByteArray(Strings.toByteArray(id)) - this will strip out the top byte in each character.</li>

|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.4.3 Additional Features and Functionality</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|

<h3>2.4.4 Other notes</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Okay, so we have had to do another release. The issue we have run into is that we probably didn't go far enough in 1.46, but we are now confident that moving from this release to 2.0 should be largely just getting rid of deprecated methods. While this release does change a lot it is relatively straight forward to do a port and we have a <a href="http://www.bouncycastle.org/wiki/display/JA1/Porting+from+earlier+BC+releases+to+1.47+and+later">porting guide</a> which explains the important ones. The area there has been the most change in is the ASN.1 library which was in bad need of a rewrite after 10 years of patching. On the bright side the rewrite did allow us to eliminate a few problems and bugs in the ASN.1 library, so we have some hope anyone porting to it will also have similar benefits. As with 1.46 the other point of emphasis has been making sure interface support is available for operations across the major APIs, so the lightweight API or some local role your own methods can be used instead for doing encryption and signing.

<h3>2.5.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.46
|
|

|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>An edge condition in ECDSA which could result in an invalid signature has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Exhaustive testing has been performed on the ASN.1 parser, eliminating another potential OutOfMemoryException and several escaping run time exceptions.</li>
|
|
<li>BC generated certificates generated different hashCodes from other equivalent implementations. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Parsing an ESSCertIDv2 would fail if the object did not include an IssuerSerialNumber. This has been fixed.</li>

</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.5.3 Additional Features and Functionality</h3>

<h3>2.5.4 Other notes</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Baring security patches we expect 1.46 will be the last of the 1.* releases. The next release of
|
|
BC will be version 2.0. For this reason a lot of things in 1.46 that relate to CMS have been deprecated and
|
|
new methods have been added to the CMS and certificate handling APIs which provide greater flexibility
|
|
in how digest and signature algorithms get used. It is now possible to use the lightweight API or a simple
|
|
custom API with CMS and for certificate generation. In addition a lot of methods and some classes that were
|
|
deprecated for reasons of been confusing, or in some cases just plan wrong, have been removed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So there are four things useful to know about this release:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It's not a simple drop in like previous releases, if you wish migrate to it you will need to recompile your application.</li>
|
|
<li>If you avoid deprecated methods it should be relatively painless to move to version 2.0</li>
|
|
<li>The X509Name class will utlimately be replacde with the X500Name class, the getInstance() methods on both these classes allow conversion from one type to another.</li>
|
|
<li>The org.bouncycastle.cms.RecipientId class now has a collection of subclasses to allow for more specific recipient matching. If you are creating your own recipient ids you should use the constructors for the subclasses rather than relying on the set methods inherited from X509CertSelector. The dependencies on X509CertSelector and CertStore will be removed from the version 2 CMS API.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>2.6.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.45
|
|
<h3>2.6.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>OpenPGP now supports UTF-8 in file names for literal data.</li>
|
|
<li>The ASN.1 library was losing track of the stream limit in a couple of places, leading to the potential of an OutOfMemoryError on a badly corrupted stream. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>The provider now uses a privileged block for initialisation.</li>
|
|
<li>JCE/JCA EC keys are now serialisable.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.6.3 Additional Features and Functionality</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Support for EC MQV has been added to the light weight API, provider, and the CMS/SMIME library.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.6.4 Security Advisory</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>This version of the provider has been specifically reviewed to eliminate possible timing attacks on algorithms such as GCM and CCM mode.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.7.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.44
|
|
<h3>2.7.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The reset() method in BufferedAsymmetricBlockCipher is now fully clearing the buffer.</li>
|
|
<li>Use of ImplicitlyCA with KeyFactory and Sun keyspec no longer causes NullPointerException.</li>
|
|
<li>X509DefaultEntryConverter was not recognising telephone number as a PrintableString field. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>The SecureRandom in the J2ME was not using a common seed source, which made cross seeeding of SecureRandom's impossible. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Occasional uses of "private final" on methods were causing issues with some J2ME platforms. The use of "private final" on methods has been removed.</li>
|
|
<li>NONEwithDSA was not resetting correctly on verify() or sign(). This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Fractional seconds in a GeneralisedTime were resulting in incorrect date conversions if more than 3 decimal places were included due to the Java date parser. Fractional seconds are now truncated to 3 decimal places on conversion.</li>
|
|
<li>The micAlg in S/MIME signed messages was not always including the hash algorithm for previous signers. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>SignedMailValidator was only including the From header and ignoring the Sender header in validating the email address. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>The PKCS#12 keystore would throw a NullPointerException if a null password was passed in. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>CertRepMessage.getResponse() was attempting to return the wrong underlying field in the structure. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>PKIXCertPathReviewer.getTrustAnchor() could occasionally cause a null pointer exception or an exception due to conflicting trust anchors. This has been fixed.</li>
|
|
<li>Handling of explicit CommandMap objects with the generation of S/MIME messages has been improved.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
<li>CMS processing will attempt to recover if there is no AlgorithmParameters object for a provider and use an IvParameterSpec where possible.</li>
|
|
<li>CertificateID always required a provider to be explicitly set. A null provider is now interpreted as a request to use the default provider.</li>
|
|
<li>SubjectKeyIdentifier now supports both methods specified in RFC 3280, section 4.2.1.2 for generating the identifier.</li>
|
|
<li>Performance of GCM mode has been greatly improved (on average 10x).</li>

|
|
<ul>

<li>Patches for S/MIME binary signatures and canonicalization were actually applied in 1.27, but a couple of days after the release - if the class
|
|
CMSProcessableBodyPartOutbound is present in the package org.bouncycastle.mail.smime you have the patched 1.27. We would recommend upgrading to 1.28 in any case
|
|
as some S/MIME 3.1 recommendations have also been introduced for header creation.

|
|
for the most part people won't notice, other than the occasional
|
|
reference to CMSSignable will need to be replaced with CMSProcessable.
|
|
<li>X509Name and X509Principal now support forward and reverse X509Name
|
|
to string conversion, with changeable lookup tables for converting OIDs
|
|
into strings. Both classes also now allow the direction of encoding to

|
|
has been fixed.
|
|
<li>MimeBodyParts in the SMIME Generator did not have their Content-Type
|
|
properly set up after decryption. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>If a X.509 certificate did not have all the keyUsage extension bits set,
|
|
the provider wasn't padding the return value of the key usage extension to
|
|
8 booleans in length. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>In some cases the simple BC keystore allowed overwriting of an alias with
|
|
one of the same name. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The key schedule for RC5-64 was not always being calculated correctly. This
|
|
has been fixed.

|
|
OID started with 2 and the second number was greater than 47. This has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
<li>If a key had PKCS9 attributes associated with it on storage they took
|
|
precedence over the local alias used to add the key to the PKCS12 key store.
|
|
The local name now takes precedence.
|
|
<li>ReasonFlags now correctly encodes.
|
|
</ul>

|
the smime implementation was not compatible with the Sun JCE.
|
|
This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>PKCS7 SignedData now supports single length signing chains.
|
|
<li>When a root certificate had a different issuer id from the subject id, or
|
|
had it's own AuthorityKeyExtension the PKCS12 key store would drop the root
|
|
certificate from the certificate chain. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The PKCS10 CertificationRequestInfo class always expected at least one
|
|
attribute. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>UTF8 strings are now correctly recognised.
|
|
<li>The Tiger implementation was producing results in reverse byte
|
|
order for each of the 3 words making up the digest. This has been fixed.

|
|
the Time object, rather returning UTC time.
|
|
<li>The DESedeKeyGenerator now supports 112 and 168 bit key generation.
|
|
<li>Certificates with the keyId set to null in the AuthorityKeyIdentifier extensions would sometimes cause the PKCS12 store to throw a NullPointer exception. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>toByteArray in the big integer class was not always producing correct
|
|
results for negative numbers. This has been Fixed.
|
|

|
|
because policymapping, name and subtree constraints are not yet
|
|
implemented.
|
|
<li>The API now supports the generation of PKCS7 signed objects. Note: this
|
|
is still beta code - one known issue is that it doesn't support single
|
|
length certificate chains for signing keys.

<ul>
|
|
<li>The ASN.1 library was unable to read an empty set object. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>Returning sets of critical and non-critical extensions on X.509 certificates could result in a null pointer exception if the certificate had no extensions. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The BC JKS implementation does not follow the conventional one - it has been renamed BKS, an attempt to create a JKS keystore using the BC provider will now result in an exception.
|
|
<li>The PKCS 10 generator verify(provider) method was ignoring the provider when generating the public key. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The PKCS12 store would throw an OutOfMemoryException if passed a non-PKCS12 file. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>In the case where there was no AuthorityKeyIdentifier the PKCS12 store

uses the IssuerDN if no AuthorityKeyIdentifier is specified and the IssuerDN
|
|
is different from the SubjectDN,
|
|
<li>PKCS10/CertificationRequestInfo objects with only a single attribute wer
|
|
not being handled properly. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>getExtensionValue for X.509 CRLs was returning the value of the
|
|
DER-Encoded octet string not the DER-Encoded octet string as required. This
|
|
has been fixed.

<li>Loading a PKCS12 store where not all certificates had PKCS9 attributes
|
|
assigned to them would cause a NullPointerException. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The PKCS12 store wasn't correctly recovering certificate chains of
|
|
length less than 2 on calling the getCertificateChain method. This has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
<li>Lone certificates were not been stored in the PKCS12 store. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>CFB and OFB modes weren't padding iv's more than 1 byte less than the
|
|
block size of the cipher if the mode was reused with a shorter IV. This has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
<li>IV handling and block size return values for CFB and OFB modes wasn't being handled in the same way as the Sun reference implementation. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>CertificateInfoRequests were not handling null attributes correctly. This
|
|
has been fixed.
|
|
<li>Tags for the X.509 GeneralName structure were wrongly encoded. This has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
<li>getExtensionValue for X.509 certificates was returning the value of the

|
|
the Sun keytool - it always uses the default provider for creating certificates.
|
|
<li>A cut down version of the Rijndael has been added that provides the functionality required to conform the the AES. It is designed to fully support FIPS-197. A fips AES wrapper (AESWrap in the JCE, AESWrapEngine in the lightweight library has also been added).
|

|
|
<li>SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are now added. Note: while the public review
|
|
period has finished, these algorithms have not yet been standardised, in the
|
|
event that final standardisation changes the algorithms these implementations
|
|
will be changed.
|
|
<li>It's now possible to set bag attributes on items to go into a PKCS12 store,
|
|
using the org.bouncycastle.jce.interfaces.PKCS12BagAttributeCarrier interface.
|
|
<li>More classses have been added to the ASN.1 package for dealing with
|
|
certificate extensions and CRLs including a CRL generator. Note: the
|
|
CRL generators should be regarded as under development and subject to change.
|
|
<li>There's now an examples package for the JCE (in addition to the examples
|
|
in org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.test) - org.bouncycastle.jce.examples. It
|
|
currently consists of a class showing how to generate a PKCS12 file.
|
|
<li>The X.509 CertificateFactory now includes CRL support. DER or PEM CRLs may be processed.
|
|
<li>The BigInteger library has been written with a view to making it less
|
|
resource hungry and faster - whether it's fast enough remains to be seen!
|
|
</ul>

<h3>2.43.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.08
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.43.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It wasn't possible to specify an ordering for distinguished names in
|
|
X509 certificates. This is now supported.
|
|
<li>In some circumstances stream Ciphers in the JCE would cause null pointer
|
|
exceptions on doFinal. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>Unpadded ciphers would sometimes buffer the last block of input, even
|
|
if it could be processed. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The netscape certificate request class wouldn't compile under JDK 1.1. This
|
|
has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.43.3 Additional Functionality and Features</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ISO 9796-1 padding is now supported with RSA in the lightweight
|
|
API and the JCE.
|
|
<li>support classes have been added for reading and writing PKCS 12 files,
|
|
including a keystore for the JCA.
|
|
<li>The message digests MD4, Tiger, and RIPEMD128 have been added to the
|
|
JCE and the lightweight API. Note: MD4 and RIPEMD128 have been added for
|
|
compatibility purposes only - we recommend you don't use them for anything new!
|
|
<li>The JDK 1.1 certificate classes didn't conform to the JDK 1.2 API as
|
|
the collections class was not present. Thanks to a donated collections API
|
|
this is fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.44.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.07
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.44.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It turned out that the setOddParity method in the DESParameter class
|
|
was indeed doing something odd but not what was intended. This is now
|
|
fixed. <b>Note:</b>This will affect some PBE encryptions that were carried
|
|
out with DES, equivalent PBE ciphers to the old PBE DES cipher can be
|
|
accessed by prepending the work "Broken" in front of the original PBE cipher
|
|
call. If you want an example of how to deal with this as a migration issue
|
|
have a look in org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.JDKKeyStore lines 201-291.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.45.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.06
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.45.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Diffie-Hellman keys are now properly serialisable as well as
|
|
encodable.
|
|
<li>Three of the semi-weak keys in the DESParameters, and the DESKeySpec look
|
|
up table, were incorrect. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>DESEDE key generators now accept 112 and 168 as the key sizes, as well
|
|
as 128 and 192 (for those people who don't like to count the parity bits).
|
|
<li>Providing no strength parameter is passed to the DESede key generator in
|
|
the JCE provider, the provider now generates DESede keys in the k1-k2-k1
|
|
format (which is compatible with the Sun reference implementation), otherwise
|
|
you get what you ask for (3-DES or 2-DES in the minimum number of bytes).
|
|
<li>Base Diffie-Hellman key agreement now works correctly for more than two
|
|
parties.
|
|
<li>Cipher.getAlgorithmParameters was returing null in cases where a cipher
|
|
object had generated it's own IV. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>An error in the key store occasionally caused checks of entry types to
|
|
result in a null pointer exception. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>RSA key generator in JCE now recognises RSAKeyGenerationParameterSpec.
|
|
<li>Resetting and resusing HMacs in the lightweight and heavyweight libraries
|
|
caused a NullPointer exception. This has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.45.3 Additional Functionality</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ISO10126Padding is now recognised explicitly for block ciphers
|
|
as well.
|
|
<li>The Blowfish implementation is now somewhat faster.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.46.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.05
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.46.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The DESEDE key generator can now be used to generate 2-Key-DESEDE
|
|
keys as well as 3-Key-DESEDE keys.
|
|
<li>One of the weak keys in the DESParameters, and the DESKeySpec look
|
|
up table, was incorrect. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The PKCS12 generator was only generating the first 128-160 bits of the
|
|
key correctly (depending on the digest used). This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The ASN.1 library was skipping explicitly tagged objects of zero length.
|
|
This has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.46.3 Additional Functionality</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>There is now an org.bouncycastle.jce.netscape package which has
|
|
a class in for dealing with Netscape Certificate Request objects.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2.46.4 Additional Notes</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Concerning the PKCS12 fix: in a few cases this may cause some backward
|
|
compatibility issues - if this happens to you, drop us a line at
|
|
<a href="mailto:feedback-crypto@bouncycastle.org">feedback-crypto@bouncycastle.org</a>
|
|
and we will help you get it sorted out.

|
<h3>2.47.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.04
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.47.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Signatures generated by other providers that include optional null
|
|
parameters in the AlgorithmIdentifier are now handled correctly by the
|
|
provider.
|
|
<li>The JCE 1.2.1 states that the names of algorithms associated with the JCE
|
|
are case insensitive. The class that matches algorithms to names now tries
|
|
to match the name given with it's equivalent in upper case, before trying
|
|
to match it as given. If you write a provider and include versions of your
|
|
algorithm names in uppercase only, this JCE implementation will always
|
|
match a getInstance regardless of the case of the algorithm passed into
|
|
the getInstance method.
|
|
<li>If the JCE API and the Provider were in a different class path, the
|
|
class loader being used sometimes failed to find classes for JCE Ciphers, etc.
|
|
This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>An error in the ASN.1 library was causing problems serialising Diffie-Hellman keys. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The agreement package was left out of the j2me bat file. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The BigInteger class for 1.0 and the j2me wasn't able to generate random
|
|
integers (prime or otherwise). This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>The BigInteger class would sometimes go into a death spiral if the any
|
|
32nd bit of an exponent was set when modPow was called. This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>Cipher.getInstance would treat "//" in a transformation as a single "/".
|
|
This has been fixed.
|
|
<li>PBEWithSHAAndIDEA-CBC was throwing an exception on initialisation. This has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
<li>The X509Name class in the asn1.x509 package wasn't initialising its local
|
|
hash table when the hash table constructor was called. This has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.47.3 Additional Functionality</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Added Elliptic Curve DSA (X9.62) - ECDSA - to provider and lightweight
|
|
library.
|
|
<li>Added Elliptic Curve basic Diffie-Hellman to provider and lightweight
|
|
library.
|
|
<li>Added DSA support to the provider and the lightweight library.
|
|
<li>Added super class interfaces for basic Diffie-Hellman agreement classes
|
|
to lightweight library.
|
|
<li>The certificate generators now support ECDSA and DSA certs as well.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.48.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.03
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.48.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>CFB and OFB modes when specified without padding would insist on input
|
|
being block aligned. When specified without padding CFB and OFB now behave in a compatible
|
|
fashion (a doFinal on a partial block will yield just the data that could
|
|
be processed).
|
|
In short, it provides another way of generating cipher text the same
|
|
length as the plain text.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.49.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.02
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.49.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The RSA key pair generator occasionally produced keys 1 bit under the
|
|
requested size. This is now fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.50.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.01
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.50.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Buffered ciphers in lightweight library were not resetting correctly
|
|
on a doFinal. This has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.51.1 Version</h3>
|
|
Release 1.0
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.51.2 Defects Fixed</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>JDK1.2 version now works with keytool for certificate generation.
|
|
<li>Certificate toString method no longer throws a null pointer exception
|
|
if a group [3] extension has not been added.
|
|
<li>Under some circumstances the NullCipher would throw a NullPointerException,
|
|
this has been fixed.
|
|
<li>Under some circumstances CipherInputStream would throw a NullPointerException, this has been fixed.
|
|
<li>OpenSSL/SSLeay private key encodings would cause an exception to be thrown
|
|
by the RSA key factory. This is now fixed.
|
|
<li>The Cipher class always used the default provider even when one was specified, this has been fixed.
|
|
<li>Some DES PBE algorithms did not set the parity correctly in generated keys, this has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.51.3 Additional functionality</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Argument validation is much improved.
|
|
<li>An X509KeyUsage class has been added to the JCE class to make it easier
|
|
to specify the KeyUsage extension on X.509 certificates.
|
|
<li>The library now allows creation of version 1 certificates as well.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.0 Notes</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The J2ME is only supported under Windows.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are trying to use the lightweight provider in a JDK 1.0 applet, you
|
|
need to change the package names for java.math.BigInteger, java.lang.IllegalStateException, and java.security.SecureRandom
|
|
<p>
|
|
The RSA test under JDK 1.0 and J2ME takes a while to run...
