  216. Resolved issues
  217. ---------------
  218. * In certain circumstances (at counter wrapping, which happens on average after
  219. 32 GB) AES GCM produced wrong ciphertexts.
  220. * Method ``encrypt()`` of AES SIV cipher could be still called,
  221. whereas only ``encrypt_and_digest()`` is allowed.

  247. more for longer passwords). Thanks to Christian Heimes for pointing
  248. out the implementation was under-optimized.
  249. * The salt for PBKDF2 can be either a string or bytes (GH#67).
  250. * Ciphers and hash functions accept data as `bytearray`, not just
  251. binary strings.
  252. * The old SHA-1 and MD5 hash functions are available even when Python's
  253. own `hashlib` does not include them.

  277. ElGamal encryption done with those keys cannot be secure under
  278. the DDH assumption. Thanks to Weikeng Chen.
  279. 3.4.9 (1 February 2018)
  280. +++++++++++++++++++++++

  287. * GH#121. The record list (--record) was not always correctly filled for the
  288. pycryptodomex package. Thanks to John W. O'Brien.
  289. 3.4.8 (27 January 2018)
  290. +++++++++++++++++++++++
  291. New features
  292. ------------
  293. * Added a native extension in pure C for modular exponentiation, optimized for SSE2 on x86.
  294. In the process, we drop support for the arbitrary arithmetic library MPIR
  295. on Windows, which is painful to compile and deploy.
  296. The custom modular exponentiation is 130% (160%) slower on an Intel CPU in 32-bit (64-bit) mode,
  297. compared to MPIR. Still, that is much faster that CPython's own `pow()` function which
  298. is 900% (855%) slower than MPIR. Support for the GMP library on Unix remains.
  299. * Added support for *manylinux* wheels.
  300. * Support for Python 3.7.
  301. Resolved issues
  302. ---------------
  303. * The DSA parameter 'p' prime was created with 255 bits cleared
  304. (but still with the correct strength).
  305. * GH#106. Not all docs were included in the tar ball.
  306. Thanks to Christopher Hoskin.
  307. * GH#109. ECDSA verification failed for DER encoded signatures.

  335. * Removed use of ``alloca()``.
  336. * [Security] Removed implementation of deprecated "quick check" feature of PGP block cipher mode.
  337. * Improved the performance of ``scrypt`` by converting some Python to C.
  338. 3.4.3 (17 October 2016)
  339. +++++++++++++++++++++++

  350. 3.4.1 (21 February 2016)
  351. ++++++++++++++++++++++++
  352. New features
  353. ------------
  354. * Added option to install the library under the ``Cryptodome`` package
  355. (instead of ``Crypto``).
  356. 3.4 (7 February 2016)
  357. +++++++++++++++++++++
  358. New features
  359. ------------
  360. * Added ``Crypto.PublicKey.ECC`` module (NIST P-256 curve only), including export/import of ECC keys.
  361. * Added support for ECDSA (FIPS 186-3 and RFC6979).
  362. * For CBC/CFB/OFB/CTR cipher objects, ``encrypt()`` and ``decrypt()`` cannot be intermixed.
  363. * CBC/CFB/OFB, the cipher objects have both ``IV`` and ``iv`` attributes.
  364. ``new()`` accepts ``IV`` as well as ``iv`` as parameter.
  365. * For CFB/OPENPGP cipher object, ``encrypt()`` and ``decrypt()`` do not require the plaintext
  366. or ciphertext pieces to have length multiple of the CFB segment size.
  367. * Added dedicated tests for all cipher modes, including NIST test vectors
  368. * CTR/CCM/EAX/GCM/SIV/Salsa20/ChaCha20 objects expose the ``nonce`` attribute.
  369. * For performance reasons, CCM cipher optionally accepted a pre-declaration of
  370. the length of the associated data, but never checked if the actual data passed
  371. to the cipher really matched that length. Such check is now enforced.
  372. * CTR cipher objects accept parameter ``nonce`` and possibly ``initial_value`` in
  373. alternative to ``counter`` (which is deprecated).
  374. * All ``iv``/``IV`` and ``nonce`` parameters are optional. If not provided,
  375. they will be randomly generated (exception: ``nonce`` for CTR mode in case
  376. of block sizes smaller than 16 bytes).
  377. * Refactored ARC2 cipher.
  378. * Added ``Crypto.Cipher.DES3.adjust_key_parity()`` function.
  379. * Added ``RSA.import_key`` as an alias to the deprecated ``RSA.importKey``
  380. (same for the ``DSA`` module).
  381. * Added ``size_in_bits()`` and ``size_in_bytes()`` methods to ``RsaKey``.
  382. Resolved issues
  383. ---------------
  384. * RSA key size is now returned correctly in ``RsaKey.__repr__()`` method (kudos to *hannesv*).
  385. * CTR mode does not modify anymore ``counter`` parameter passed to ``new()`` method.
  386. * CTR raises ``OverflowError`` instead of ``ValueError`` when the counter wraps around.
  387. * PEM files with Windows newlines could not be imported.
  388. * ``Crypto.IO.PEM`` and ``Crypto.IO.PKCS8`` used to accept empty passphrases.
  389. * GH#6: NotImplementedError now raised for unsupported methods ``sign``, ``verify``,
  390. ``encrypt``, ``decrypt``, ``blind``, ``unblind`` and ``size`` in objects ``RsaKey``, ``DsaKey``,
  391. ``ElGamalKey``.
  392. Breaks in compatibility
  393. -----------------------
  394. * Parameter ``segment_size`` cannot be 0 for the CFB mode.
  395. * For OCB ciphers, a final call without parameters to ``encrypt`` must end a sequence
  396. of calls to ``encrypt`` with data (similarly for ``decrypt``).
  397. * Key size for ``ARC2``, ``ARC4`` and ``Blowfish`` must be at least 40 bits long (still very weak).
  398. * DES3 (Triple DES module) does not allow keys that degenerate to Single DES.
  399. * Removed method ``getRandomNumber`` in ``Crypto.Util.number``.
  400. * Removed module ``Crypto.pct_warnings``.
  401. * Removed attribute ``Crypto.PublicKey.RSA.algorithmIdentifier``.
  402. 3.3.1 (1 November 2015)
  403. +++++++++++++++++++++++
  404. New features
  405. ------------
  406. * Opt-in for ``update()`` after ``digest()`` for SHA-3, keccak, BLAKE2 hashes
  407. Resolved issues
  408. ---------------
  409. * Removed unused SHA-3 and keccak test vectors, therefore significantly reducing
  410. the package from 13MB to 3MB.
  411. Breaks in compatibility
  412. -----------------------
  413. * Removed method ``copy()`` from BLAKE2 hashes
  414. * Removed ability to ``update()`` a BLAKE2 hash after the first call to ``(hex)digest()``
  415. 3.3 (29 October 2015)
  416. +++++++++++++++++++++
  417. New features
  418. ------------
  419. * Windows wheels bundle the MPIR library
  420. * Detection of faults occurring during secret RSA operations
  421. * Detection of non-prime (weak) q value in DSA domain parameters
  422. * Added original Keccak hash family (b=1600 only).
  423. In the process, simplified the C code base for SHA-3.
  424. * Added SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 (of SHA-3 family)
  425. Resolved issues
  426. ---------------
  427. * GH#3: gcc 4.4.7 unhappy about double typedef
  428. Breaks in compatibility
  429. -----------------------
  430. * Removed method ``copy()`` from all SHA-3 hashes
  431. * Removed ability to ``update()`` a SHA-3 hash after the first call to ``(hex)digest()``

  442. * Added stream cipher ChaCha20.
  443. * Added OCB cipher mode.
  444. * CMAC raises an exception whenever the message length is found to be
  445. too large and the chance of collisions not negligeable.
  446. * New attribute ``oid`` for Hash objects with ASN.1 Object ID
  447. * Added ``Crypto.Signature.pss`` and ``Crypto.Signature.pkcs1_15``
  448. * Added NIST test vectors (roughly 1200) for PKCS#1 v1.5 and PSS signatures.
  449. Resolved issues

  458. +++++++++++++++++++
  459. New features
  460. ------------
  461. * Speed up execution of Public Key algorithms on PyPy, when backed
  462. by the Gnu Multiprecision (GMP) library.
  463. * GMP headers and static libraries are not required anymore at the time
  464. PyCryptodome is built. Instead, the code will automatically use the
  465. GMP dynamic library (.so/.DLL) if found in the system at runtime.
  466. * Reduced the amount of C code by almost 40% (4700 lines).
  467. Modularized and simplified all code (C and Python) related to block ciphers.
  468. Pycryptodome is now free of CPython extensions.
  469. * Add support for CI in Windows via Appveyor.
  470. * RSA and DSA key generation more closely follows FIPS 186-4 (though it is
  471. not 100% compliant).
  472. Resolved issues
  473. ---------------
  474. * None
  475. Breaks in compatibility
  476. -----------------------
  477. * New dependency on ctypes with Python 2.4.
  478. * The ``counter`` parameter of a CTR mode cipher must be generated via
  479. ``Crypto.Util.Counter``. It cannot be a generic callable anymore.
  480. * Removed the ``Crypto.Random.Fortuna`` package (due to lack of test vectors).
  481. * Removed the ``Crypto.Hash.new`` function.
  482. * The ``allow_wraparound`` parameter of ``Crypto.Util.Counter`` is ignored.
  483. An exception is always generated if the counter is reused.
  484. * ``DSA.generate``, ``RSA.generate`` and ``ElGamal.generate`` do not
  485. accept the ``progress_func`` parameter anymore.
  486. * Removed ``Crypto.PublicKey.RSA.RSAImplementation``.

  492. ------------
  493. * Initial support for PyPy.
  494. * SHA-3 hash family based on the April 2014 draft of FIPS 202.
  495. See modules ``Crypto.Hash.SHA3_224/256/384/512``.
  496. Initial Keccak patch by Fabrizio Tarizzo.
  497. * Salsa20 stream cipher. See module ``Crypto.Cipher.Salsa20``.
  498. Patch by Fabrizio Tarizzo.
  499. * Colin Percival's ``scrypt`` key derivation function (``Crypto.Protocol.KDF.scrypt``).
  500. * Proper interface to FIPS 186-3 DSA. See module ``Crypto.Signature.DSS``.
  501. * Deterministic DSA (RFC6979). Again, see ``Crypto.Signature.DSS``.
  502. * HMAC-based Extract-and-Expand key derivation function
  503. (``Crypto.Protocol.KDF.HKDF``, RFC5869).
  504. * Shamir's Secret Sharing protocol, compatible with *ssss* (128 bits only).
  505. See module ``Crypto.Protocol.SecretSharing``.
  506. * Ability to generate a DSA key given the domain parameters.
  507. * Ability to test installation with a simple ``python -m Crypto.SelfTest``.
  508. Resolved issues
  509. ---------------
  510. * LP#1193521: ``mpz_powm_sec()`` (and Python) crashed when modulus was odd.
  511. * Benchmarks work again (they broke when ECB stopped working if
  512. an IV was passed. Patch by Richard Mitchell.
  513. * LP#1178485: removed some catch-all exception handlers.
  514. Patch by Richard Mitchell.
  515. * LP#1209399: Removal of Python wrappers caused HMAC to silently
  516. produce the wrong data with SHA-2 algorithms.
  517. * LP#1279231: remove dead code that does nothing in SHA-2 hashes.
  518. Patch by Richard Mitchell.
  519. * LP#1327081: AESNI code accesses memory beyond buffer end.
  520. * Stricter checks on ciphertext and plaintext size for textbook RSA
  521. (kudos to sharego).
  522. Breaks in compatibility
  523. -----------------------
  524. * Removed support for Python < 2.4.
  525. * Removed the following methods from all 3 public key object types (RSA, DSA, ElGamal):
  526. - ``sign``
  527. - ``verify``
  528. - ``encrypt``
  529. - ``decrypt``
  530. - ``blind``
  531. - ``unblind``
  532. Code that uses such methods is doomed anyway. It should be fixed ASAP to
  533. use the algorithms available in ``Crypto.Signature`` and ``Crypto.Cipher``.
  534. * The 3 public key object types (RSA, DSA, ElGamal) are now unpickable.
  535. * Symmetric ciphers do not have a default mode anymore (used to be ECB).
  536. An expression like ``AES.new(key)`` will now fail. If ECB is the desired mode,
  537. one has to explicitly use ``AES.new(key, AES.MODE_ECB)``.
  538. * Unsuccessful verification of a signature will now raise an exception [reverted in 3.2].
  539. * Removed the ``Crypto.Random.OSRNG`` package.
  540. * Removed the ``Crypto.Util.winrandom`` module.
  541. * Removed the ``Crypto.Random.randpool`` module.
  542. * Removed the ``Crypto.Cipher.XOR`` module.
  543. * Removed the ``Crypto.Protocol.AllOrNothing`` module.
  544. * Removed the ``Crypto.Protocol.Chaffing`` module.
  545. * Removed the parameters ``disabled_shortcut`` and ``overflow`` from ``Crypto.Util.Counter.new``.
  546. Other changes
  547. -------------
  548. * ``Crypto.Random`` stops being a userspace CSPRNG. It is now a pure wrapper over ``os.urandom``.
  549. * Added certain resistance against side-channel attacks for GHASH (GCM) and DSA.
  550. * More test vectors for ``HMAC-RIPEMD-160``.
  551. * Update ``libtomcrypt`` headers and code to v1.17 (kudos to Richard Mitchell).
  552. * RSA and DSA keys are checked for consistency as they are imported.
  553. * Simplified build process by removing autoconf.
  554. * Speed optimization to PBKDF2.
  555. * Add support for MSVC.
  556. * Replaced HMAC code with a BSD implementation. Clarified that starting from the fork,
  557. all contributions are released under the BSD license.
