||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Transparent support for PKCS#8 format private keys: these are used
|
||
|
|
by several software packages and are more secure than the standard
|
||
|
|
form
|
||
|
|
o PKCS#5 v2.0 implementation
|
||
|
|
o Password callbacks have a new void * argument for application data
|
||
|
|
o Avoid various memory leaks
|
||
|
|
o New pipe-like BIO that allows using the SSL library when actual I/O
|
||
|
|
must be handled by the application (BIO pair)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Major changes between OpenSSL 0.9.2b and OpenSSL 0.9.3:
