Dear All,
I would like to announce availability of new PKIX-SSH release 10.0. This
new major release enhance support of algorithms described in RFC6187.
* true x509v3-ecdsa-sha2-* algorithms
Versions before 10.0 incorrectly implement [RFC6187] - public
key-blob does not include algorithm name and ecdsa signature blob is in
ASN.1 opaque format.
New release implement correctly EC X.509 public-key algorithms and
supports backward compatibility with previous releases.
* x509v3-ssh-*algorithms
Support x509v3-ssh-rsa and x509v3-ssh-dss algorithms ([RFC6187]) in
addition to x509v3-sign-rsa and x509v3-sign-dss.
Note x509v3-sign-* are still preferred.
* demon advertise PKIX-SSH release
Secure shell sever advertise PKIX-SSH release version in connections
and logs. Version number could be used to detect capabilities of secure
shell server.
* support VPN tunnel for Darwin's utun device
* code cleanup
Completely remove possibility to build without X.509 store.
Rewrite many methods to use new library style API and mainly to take
into account public-key algorithm name and compatibilities.
Regards,
Roumen Petrov
