Split private key PEM and normal PEM handling. Private key

Relocate the ASN1 *_dup() functions, to the relevant ASN1

a single dup was used.
Move the authority key id ASN1 structure to a separate file.

Also move ASN1_tag2bit to avoid linking in a_bytes.c which

This first step separates some of the PEM functions and
avoids linking in some PKCS#7 and PKCS#12 code.
does not contain more bytes than the RSA modulus 'n' - it does not check
that the input is strictly *less* than 'n'. Whether this should be the
case or not is open to debate - however, due to security problems with
returning miscalculated CRT results, the 'rsa_mod_exp' implementation in
rsa_eay.c now performs a public-key exponentiation to verify the CRT result
and in the event of an error will instead recalculate and return a non-CRT
(more expensive) mod_exp calculation. As the mod_exp of 'I' is equivalent
to the mod_exp of 'I mod n', and the verify result is automatically between
0 and n-1 inclusive, the verify only matches the input if 'I' was less than
'n', otherwise even a correct CRT calculation is only congruent to 'I' (ie.
they differ by a multiple of 'n'). Rather than rejecting correct
calculations and doing redundant and slower ones instead, this changes the
equality check in the verification code to a congruence check.
SSL according to RFC 2712. His comment is:
This is a patch to openssl-SNAP-20010702 to support Kerberized SSL
authentication. I'm expecting to have the full kssl-0.5 kit up on
sourceforge by the end of the week. The full kit includes patches
for mod-ssl, apache, and a few text clients. The sourceforge URL
is http://sourceforge.net/projects/kssl/ .
Thanks to a note from Simon Wilkinson I've replaced my KRB5 AP_REQ
message with a real KerberosWrapper struct. I think this is fully
RFC 2712 compliant now, including support for the optional
authenticator field. I also added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for
a few Kerberos structs; see crypto/krb5/ if you're interested.

NOTE: there's no requirement for other UI_METHODs to avoid this kind
of loop. For example, a GUI UI_METHOD would probably check the

redisplayed for everything that is wrong.
Implement UI controls. Current controls are the possibility to output
the OpenSSL error stack on the same channel from within UI_process()

technicalities).

made to avoid compiler warnings.

prompting, application-defined prompts, the possibility to use
defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else) and
interrupts/cancelations.
In the new crypto/ui/, this was changed into tty (which is usually
/dev/tty), i.e. the FILE * used for reading passwords from the user.
However stdio buffering for read/write streams is not without pitfalls
(passwords would be echoed on some systems).
To avoid problems, split tty into tty_in and tty_out (which are
opened separately).
(for new functions...). One might still want to be able to pass down
a user-data pointer to be used by the UI. However, ex_data doesn't
quite cut it, since that means the appropriate index to it might need
to be shared between parts that aren't really related in that sense,
and would require the currently hidden (static) index holders to be
uncovered. Not a good thing. Therefore, add the possibility to add a
user-data pointer to a UI.

passwords that were given to the key loading functions were completely
ignored, at least in the ncipher code, and then we made the assumption
that the callback wanted a prompt as user argument.
All that is now changed, and the application author is forced to give
a callback function of type pem_callback_cb and possibly an argument
for it, just as for all other functions that want to generate password
prompting.
NOTE: this change creates binary and source incompatibilities with
previous versions of OpenSSL [engine]. It's worth it this time, to
get it right (or at least better and with a chance that it'll work).

For those, unless the environment variables RANDFILE or HOME are

This change adds a default HOME for those platforms.
To add a default HOME for any platform, just define DEFAULT_HOME in

few statements equivalent to "ENGINE_add(ENGINE_openssl())" etc. The inner
call to ENGINE_openssl() (as with other functions like it) orphans a
structural reference count. Second, the ENGINE_cleanup() function also
needs to clean up the functional reference counts held internally as the
list of "defaults" (ie. as used when RSA_new() requires an appropriate
ENGINE reference). So ENGINE_clear_defaults() was created and is called
from within ENGINE_cleanup(). Third, some of the existing code was
logically broken in its treatment of reference counts and locking (my
fault), so the necessary bits have been restructured and tidied up.
To test this stuff, compiling with ENGINE_REF_COUNT_DEBUG will cause every
reference count change (both structural and functional) to log a message to
'stderr'. Using with "openssl engine" for example shows this in action
quite well as the 'engine' sub-command cleans up after itself properly.
Also replaced some spaces with tabs.
* "ex_data" - a CRYPTO_EX_DATA structure in the ENGINE structure itself
that allows an ENGINE to store its own information there rather than in
global variables. It follows the declarations and implementations used
in RSA code, for better or worse. However there's a problem when storing
state with ENGINEs because, unlike related structure types in OpenSSL,
there is no ENGINE-vs-ENGINE_METHOD separation. Because of what ENGINE
is, it has method pointers as its structure elements ... which leads
to;
* ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY - if an ENGINE should not be used just as a
reference to an "implementation" (eg. to get to a hardware device), but
should also be able to maintain state, then this flag can be set by the
ENGINE implementation. The result is that any call to ENGINE_by_id()
will not result in the existing ENGINE being returned (with its
structural reference count incremented) but instead a new copy of the
ENGINE will be returned that can maintain its own state independantly of
any other copies returned in the past or future. Eg. key-generation
might involve a series of ENGINE-specific control commands to set
algorithms, sizes, module-keys, ids, ACLs, etc. A final command could
generate the key. An ENGINE doing this would *have* to declare
ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY so that the state of that process can be
maintained "per-handle" and unaffected by other code having a reference
to the same ENGINE structure.
This change adds some basic control commands to the existing ENGINEs
(except the software 'openssl' engine). All these engines currently load
shared-libraries for hardware APIs, so they've all been given "SO_PATH"
commands that will configure the chosen ENGINE to load its shared library
from the given path. Eg. by calling;
ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(e, "SO_PATH", <path>, 0).
The nCipher 'chil' ENGINE has also had "FORK_CHECK" and "THREAD_LOCKING"
commands added so these settings could be handled via application-level
configuration rather than in application source code.
Changes to "openssl engine" to test and examine these control commands will
be made shortly. It will also provide the necessary tips to application
programs wanting to support these dynamic control commands.
This change adds some new functionality to the ENGINE code and API to
make it possible for ENGINEs to describe and implement their own control
commands that can be interrogated and used by calling applications at
run-time. The source code includes numerous comments explaining how it all
works and some of the finer details. But basically, an ENGINE will normally
declare an array of ENGINE_CMD_DEFN entries in its ENGINE - and the various
new ENGINE_CTRL_*** command types take care of iterating through this list
of definitions, converting command numbers to names, command names to
numbers, getting descriptions, getting input flags, etc. These
administrative commands are handled directly in the base ENGINE code rather
than in each ENGINE's ctrl() handler, unless they specify the
ENGINE_FLAGS_MANUAL_CMD_CTRL flag (ie. if they're doing something clever or
dynamic with the command definitions).
There is also a new function, ENGINE_cmd_is_executable(), that will
determine if an ENGINE control command is of an "executable" type that
can be used in another new function, ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). If not, the
control command is not supposed to be exposed out to user/config level
access - eg. it could involve the exchange of binary data, returning
results to calling code, etc etc. If the command is executable then
ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string() can be called using a name/arg string pair. The
control command's input flags will be used to determine necessary
conversions before the control command is called, and commands of this
form will always return zero or one (failure or success, respectively).
This is set up so that arbitrary applications can support control commands
in a consistent way so that tweaking particular ENGINE behaviour is
specific to the ENGINE and the host environment, and independant of the
application or OpenSSL.
Some code demonstrating this stuff in action will applied shortly to the
various ENGINE implementations, as well as "openssl engine" support for
executing arbitrary control commands before and/or after initialising
various ENGINEs.
The existing ENGINEs (including the default 'openssl' software engine) were
static, declared inside the source file for each engine implementation. The
reason this was not going boom was that all the ENGINEs had reference
counts that never hit zero (once linked into the internal list, each would
always have at least 1 lasting structural reference).
To fix this so it will stay standing when an "unload" function is added to
match ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), the "constructor" functions for each
ENGINE implementation have been changed to dynamically allocate and
construct their own ENGINEs using API functions. The other benefit of this
is that no ENGINE implementation has to include the internal "engine_int.h"
header file any more.
Previously RAND_get_rand_method was returning a non-const pointer, but it
should be const. As with all other such cases, METHOD pointers are stored and
returned as "const". The only methods one should be able to alter are methods
"local" to the relevant code, in which case a non-const handle to the methods
should already exist.
This change has been forced by the constifying of the ENGINE code (before
which RAND_METHOD was the only method pointer in an ENGINE structure that was
not constant).
ENGINE handler functions should take the ENGINE structure as a parameter -
this is because ENGINE structures can be copied, and like other
structure/method setups in OpenSSL, it should be possible for init(),
finish(), ctrl(), etc to adjust state inside the ENGINE structures rather
than globally. This commit includes the dependant changes in the ENGINE
implementations.
Previous changes permanently removed the commented-out old code for where
it was possible to create and use an ENGINE statically, and this code gets
rid of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED flag that supported the distinction with
dynamically allocated ENGINEs. It also moves the area for ENGINE_FLAGS_***
values from engine_int.h to engine.h - because it should be possible to
declare ENGINEs just from declarations in exported headers.
* Constify the get/set functions, and add some that functions were missing.
* Add a new 'ENGINE_cpy()' function that will produce a new ENGINE based
copied from an original (except for the references, ie. the new copy will
be like an ENGINE returned from 'ENGINE_new()' - a structural reference).
* Removed the "null parameter" checking in the get/set functions - it is
legitimate to set NULL values as a way of *changing* an ENGINE (ie.
removing a handler that previously existed). Also, passing a NULL pointer
for an ENGINE is obviously wrong for these functions, so don't bother
checking for it. The result is a number of error codes and strings could
be removed.
