At some point before we make an 8.0 release we'll probably just remove
all the legacy, weak ciphers and hashes (except MD5, most likely).
To drop these we'll have to re-generate PKCS#12 test samples using
stronger PBEs, and possible add new PBE types.
81c778e broke the PKCS#11 hcrypto backend broke for many cases as it did
not support cipherstate resetting. (Prior to 81c778e, which was to fix#194,
the PKCS#11 backend did not support cipherstate chaining across invocations.)
hcrypto backends that maintain cipherstate independently of the hcrypto
context IV field need to set EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT to avoid the two
diverging. Their init function should support resetting the cipherstate
independently of key scheduling.
This adds a new backend for libhcrypto: the OpenSSL backend.
Now libhcrypto has these backends:
- hcrypto itself (i.e., the algorithms coded in lib/hcrypto)
- Common Crypto (OS X)
- PKCS#11 (specifically for Solaris, but not Solaris-specific)
- Windows CNG (Windows)
- OpenSSL (generic)
The ./configure --with-openssl=... option no longer disables the use of
hcrypto. Instead it enables the use of OpenSSL as a (and the default)
backend in libhcrypto. The libhcrypto framework is now always used.
OpenSSL should no longer be used directly within Heimdal, except in the
OpenSSL hcrypto backend itself, and files where elliptic curve (EC)
crypto is needed.
Because libhcrypto's EC support is incomplete, we can only use OpenSSL
for EC. Currently that means separating all EC-using code so that it
does not use hcrypto, thus the libhx509/hxtool and PKINIT EC code has
been moved out of the files it used to be in.
