Hello, One of the next few weeks I plan to release gnutls 3.1.0. This includes quite some changes comparing to 3.0.x, the most prominent being: * Dependence on nettle for RSA PKCS #1 1.5 operations. * Support for TPM keys (if trousers is available).
The former means that we save quite some code by not reimplementing this stuff in gnutls. The TPM support means that you can use your TPM chip to secure your private key similarly to a smart-card. Keys are referred to by using a (for now custom) URL-like format that looks like: tpmkey:uuid=58ad734b-bde6-45c7-89d8-756a55ad1891;storage=user tpmkey:file=/path/to/tpmkey.pem I've put some pre-release versions at alpha.gnu.org. Please try them and feel free to report any issues you encounter or any other comments. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-3.1.0pre0.tar.lz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-3.1.0pre0.tar.xz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-3.1.0pre0.tar.lz.sig ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/gnutls-3.1.0pre0.tar.xz.sig A more detailed changelog follows. * Version 3.1.0pre0 (released 2012-08-05) ** libgnutls: Added direct support for TPM as a cryptographic module in gnutls/tpm.h. ** libgnutls: requires libnettle 2.5. ** libgnutls: Use the PKCS #1 1.5 encoding provided by nettle (2.5) for encryption and signatures. ** libgnutls: Added GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE to differentiate between generic errors and signature verification errors in the verification functions. ** libgnutls: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() as a helper function to simplify parsing in most PKCS #12 use cases. ** libgnutls: gnutls_certificate_set_x509_simple_pkcs12_file() adds the whole certificate chain (if any) to the credentials structure, instead of only the end-user certificate. ** libgnutls: Key import functions such as gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse() and gnutls_x509_privkey_import_pkcs8(), return consistently GNUTLS_E_DECRYPTION_FAILED if the input structure is encrypted but no password was provided. ** libgnutlsxx: Added session::set_transport_vec_push_function. Patch by Alexandre Bique. ** tpmtool: Added. It is a tool to generate private keys in the TPM. ** gnutls-cli: --benchmark-tls was split to --benchmark-tls-kx and --benchmark-tls-ciphers ** certtool: generated PKCS #12 structures may hold more than one private key. Patch by Lucas Fisher. ** certtool: Added option --null-password to generate/decrypt keys that use a NULL password (in schemas that distinguish between NULL an empty passwords). ** minitasn1: Upgraded to libtasn1 version 2.13. ** API and ABI modifications: GNUTLS_CERT_SIGNATURE_FAILURE: Added GNUTLS_CAMELLIA_192_CBC: Added GNUTLS_PKCS_NULL_PASSWORD: Added gnutls_url_is_supported: Added gnutls_pkcs11_obj_list_import_url2: Added gnutls_pkcs11_obj_set_pin_function: Added gnutls_pkcs11_privkey_set_pin_function: Added gnutls_pkcs11_get_pin_function: Added gnutls_privkey_import_tpm_raw: Added gnutls_privkey_import_tpm_url: Added gnutls_privkey_import_pkcs11_url: Added gnutls_privkey_import_openpgp_raw: Added gnutls_privkey_import_x509_raw: Added gnutls_privkey_import_ext2: Added gnutls_privkey_import_url: Added gnutls_privkey_set_pin_function: Added gnutls_tpm_privkey_generate: Added gnutls_tpm_key_list_deinit: Added gnutls_tpm_key_list_get_url: Added gnutls_tpm_get_registered: Added gnutls_tpm_privkey_delete: Added gnutls_pubkey_import_tpm_raw: Added gnutls_pubkey_import_tpm_url: Added gnutls_pubkey_import_url: Added gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2: Added gnutls_pubkey_set_pin_function: Added gnutls_x509_privkey_import2: Added gnutls_x509_privkey_import_openssl: Added gnutls_x509_crt_set_pin_function: Added gnutls_load_file: Added gnutls_pkcs12_simple_parse: Added gnutls_certificate_set_x509_system_trust: Added gnutls_certificate_set_pin_function: Added gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_system_trust: Added gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_file: Added gnutls_x509_trust_list_add_trust_mem: Added gnutls_pk_to_sign: Added gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash: Deprecated (use gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2) gnutls_pubkey_verify_data: Deprecated (use gnutls_pubkey_verify_data2) regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Help-gnutls mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls
