From wk на gnupg.org Fri Apr 15 17:42:37 2016 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 17:42:37 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] Libgcrypt 1.7.0 released Message-ID: <87vb3iyj2q.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hello! The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.7.0. This is a new stable version of Libgcrypt with full API and ABI compatibiliy to the 1.6 series. Its main features are new algorithms, curves, and performance improvements. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt. Noteworthy changes between version 1.6.0 and 1.7.0: =================================================== * New algorithms and modes: - SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512, and MD2 hash algorithms. - SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 extendable-output hash algorithms. - ChaCha20 stream cipher. - Poly1305 message authentication algorithm - ChaCha20-Poly1305 Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data mode. - OCB mode. - HMAC-MD2 for use by legacy applications. * New curves for ECC: - Curve25519. - sec256k1. - GOST R 34.10-2001 and GOST R 34.10-2012. * Performance: - Improved performance of KDF functions. - Assembler optimized implementations of Blowfish and Serpent on ARM. - Assembler optimized implementation of 3DES on x86. - Improved AES using the SSSE3 based vector permutation method by Mike Hamburg. - AVX/BMI is used for SHA-1 and SHA-256 on x86. This is for SHA-1 about 20% faster than SSSE3 and more than 100% faster than the generic C implementation. - 40% speedup for SHA-512 and 72% for SHA-1 on ARM Cortex-A8. - 60-90% speedup for Whirlpool on x86. - 300% speedup for RIPE MD-160. - Up to 11 times speedup for CRC functions on x86. * Other features: - Improved ECDSA and FIPS 186-4 compliance. - Support for Montgomery curves. - gcry_cipher_set_sbox to tweak S-boxes of the gost28147 cipher algorithm. - gcry_mpi_ec_sub to subtract two points on a curve. - gcry_mpi_ec_decode_point to decode an MPI into a point object. - Emulation for broken Whirlpool code prior to 1.6.0. [from 1.6.1] - Flag "pkcs1-raw" to enable PCKS#1 padding with a user supplied hash part. - Parameter "saltlen" to set a non-default salt length for RSA PSS. - A SP800-90A conforming DRNG replaces the former X9.31 alternative random number generator. - Map deprecated RSA algo number to the RSA algo number for better backward compatibility. [from 1.6.2] - Use ciphertext blinding for Elgamal decryption [CVE-2014-3591]. See http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/radioexp/ for details. [from 1.6.3] - Fixed data-dependent timing variations in modular exponentiation [related to CVE-2015-0837, Last-Level Cache Side-Channel Attacks are Practical]. [from 1.6.3] - Flag "no-keytest" for ECC key generation. Due to a bug in the parser that flag will also be accepted but ignored by older version of Libgcrypt. [from 1.6.4] - Speed up the random number generator by requiring less extra seeding. [from 1.6.4] - Always verify a created RSA signature to avoid private key leaks due to hardware failures. [from 1.6.4] - Mitigate side-channel attack on ECDH with Weierstrass curves [CVE-2015-7511]. See http://www.cs.tau.ac.IL/~tromer/ecdh/ for details. [from 1.6.5] * Internal changes: - Moved locking out to libgpg-error. - Support of the SYSROOT envvar in the build system. - Refactor some code. - The availability of a 64 bit integer type is now mandatory. * Bug fixes: - Fixed message digest lookup by OID (regression in 1.6.0). - Fixed a build problem on NetBSD - Fixed memory leaks in ECC code. - Fixed some asm build problems and feature detection bugs. For interface changes relative to the 1.6.0 release see below [4]. Note that the 1.6 series will enter end-of-life state on 2017-06-30. Download ======== Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed at https://gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html . On the primary server the source tarball and its digital signature are: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2 (2477k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2.sig That file is bzip2 compressed. A gzip compressed version is here: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.gz (3309k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.gz.sig The same files are also available via HTTP: https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2 https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2.sig https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.gz https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.gz.sig In order to check that the version of Libgcrypt you downloaded is an original and unmodified file please follow the instructions found at . In short, you may use one of the following mthods: - Check the supplied OpenPGP signature. For example to check the signature of the file libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2.sig libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2 This checks whether the signature file matches the source file. You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and made by one or more of the release signing keys. - If you are not able to use GnuPG, you have to verify the SHA-1 checksum: sha1sum libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the first line from the following list: f840b737faafded451a084ae143285ad68bbfb01 libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.bz2 b6b6cfea349ca18a658a18a6365f5e2ca78fe1cc libgcrypt-1.7.0.tar.gz You should also verify that the checksums above are authentic by matching them with copies of this announcement. Those copies can be found at other mailing lists, web sites, and search engines. Copying ======= Libgcrypt is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPLv2.1+).
