# 1 public_key Release Notes

###
1.1 Public_Key 1.15.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Hostname prefix with X number of dots should not be accepted.

  Own Id: OTP-18935 Aux Id: GH-8021

###
1.2 Public_Key 1.15

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- ssl application will validate id-kp-serverAuth and id-kp-clientAuth extended key usage only in end entity certificates. public_key application will disallow "anyExtendedKeyUsage" for CA certificates that includes the extended key usage extension and marks it critical.

  Own Id: OTP-18739

- Modernize ECC handling so that crypto FIPS support works as expected.

  Own Id: OTP-18854

- Add check to disallow duplicate certs in a path

  Own Id: OTP-18723 Aux Id: GH-6394

###
1.4 Public_Key 1.14

####
Improvements and New Features

- Handling of on_load modules during boot has been improved by adding an extra step in the boot order for embedded mode that runs all on_load handlers, instead of relying on explicit invocation of them, later, when the kernel supervision tree starts.

  This is mostly a code improvement and OTP internal simplification to avoid future bugs and to simplify code maintenance.

  Own Id: OTP-18447

###
1.5 Public_Key 1.13.3.2

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- ssl application will validate id-kp-serverAuth and id-kp-clientAuth extended key usage only in end entity certificates. public_key application will disallow "anyExtendedKeyUsage" for CA certificates that includes the extended key usage extension and marks it critical.

  Own Id: OTP-18739

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Country name comparison shall be case insensitive

  Own Id: OTP-18718 Aux Id: GH-7546

###
1.7 Public_Key 1.13.3

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- As different solutions of verifying certificate revocation exists move the decode of 'CRLDistributionPoints' so that it will only be decode. When it is actually used in the verification process. This would enable interoperability with systems that use certificates with an invalid empty CRLDistributionPoints extension that they want to ignore and make verification by other means.

  Own Id: OTP-18316 Aux Id: GH-6402, PR-6883

- public_key:pkix_path_validation validates certificates expiring after 2050

  Own Id: OTP-18356 Aux Id: GH-6403

- Do not leave exit message in message queue after calling cacerts_load() on MacOS.

  Own Id: OTP-18392 Aux Id: GH-6656

####
Improvements and New Features

- Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1

  The size/1 BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can result in worse types for Dialyzer.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple, tuple_size/1 should always be preferred.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary, byte_size/1 should be preferred. However, byte_size/1 also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to byte_size/ is preceded by a call to is_binary/1 to ensure that bitstrings are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to is_binary/1, so if one is not sure whether previous code had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an is_binary/1 test immediately before the call to byte_size/1.

  Own Id: OTP-17890

- The deprecated public_key functions ssh_decode/2, ssh_encode/2, ssh_hostkey_fingerprint/1 and ssh_hostkey_fingerprint/2 are removed.

  They are replaced by ssh_file:decode/2, ssh_file:encode/2, ssh:hostkey_fingerprint/1 and ssh:hostkey_fingerprint/2 respectively.

  Note that the decode/2 and encode/2 are not exact replacement functions, some minor changes may be needed. Se the manual for more information.

- Fixed case insensitive hostname check.

  Own Id: OTP-17242 Aux Id: GH-4500

####
Improvements and New Features

- Add sanity check of trusted anchor certificate expiration to pkix_path_validation/3. Although the anchor is considered a trusted input this sanity check does provide extra security for the users of the public_key application as this property needs to be checked at time of usage and fits very well with the other checks performed here.

  Own Id: OTP-15776

####
Improvements and New Features

- Add possibility to read PEM files encrypted with old PEM encryption using AES-256

  Own Id: OTP-13726

- Relax decoding of certificates to so that "harmless" third party encoding errors may be accepted but not created by the public_key application. This adds acceptance of using an incorrect three character country code, the PKIX standard use two character country codes. It is also accepted that the country code is utf8 encoded but the specification says it should be ASCII.

  Own Id: OTP-12936

- There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which lists size-generator-modulus triples. The purpose is to give servers the possibility to select the crypto primes randomly among a list of pregenerated triples. This reduces the risk for some attacks on diffie-hellman negotiation.

  See the reference manual for public_key:dh_gex_group/4 where the handling of this is described.

  The ssh server (ssh:daemon) uses this.

  Own Id: OTP-12986

###
1.46 Public_Key 1.0

####
Improvements and New Features

- public_key: Remove legacy switch compact_bit_string

  E.i bitstrings will not be decode as {Unused, Binary}, they are now Erlang bitstrings.

  Also the compact_bit_string implies the legacy_erlang_types switch So removing the switch will also make OCTET STRING values be represented as binaries.

  Undecoded open type will now be wrapped in a asn1_OPENTYPE tuple.

  This will change some values in records returned by the public_key API making this change a potentiall incompatibility.

  Own Id: OTP-10873

- Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas Schultz

  In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.

  This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP applications using crypto has been updated to use the new API.

  Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained environments.

- Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key application for all public key handling. This is also a first step for enabling a callback API for supplying public keys and handling keys protected with password phrases.

  Additionally the test suites where improved so that they do not copy the users keys to test server directories as this is a security liability. Also ipv6 and file access issues found in the process has been fixed.

  This change also solves OTP-7677 and OTP-7235

  This changes also involves some updates to public_keys ssh-functions.

####
Improvements and New Features

- Allows the public_key module to decode and encode RSA and DSA keys encoded using the SubjectPublicKeyInfo format. When pem_entry_encode is called on an RSA or DSA public key type, the key is wrapped in the SubjectPublicKeyInfo format.

1.62 Public_Key 0.9

####
Improvements and New Features

- Updated ssl to ignore CA certs that violate the asn1-spec for a certificate, and updated public key asn1 spec to handle inherited DSS-params.

  Own Id: OTP-7884

- Changed ssl implementation to retain backwards compatibility for old option {verify, 0} that shall be equivalent to {verify, verify_none}, also separate the cases unknown ca and selfsigned peer cert, and restored return value of deprecated function public_key:pem_to_der/1.

  Own Id: OTP-8858

- Better handling of v1 and v2 certificates. V1 and v2 certificates does not have any extensions so then validate_extensions should just accept that there are none and not end up in missing_basic_constraints clause.

  Own Id: OTP-8867

- Changed the verify fun so that it differentiate between the peer certificate and CA certificates by using valid_peer or valid as the second argument to the verify fun. It may not always be trivial or even possible to know when the peer certificate is reached otherwise.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
