The conversions to and from + GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms + cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up. + However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could + provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be + specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary + linker additions, eg; + ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp + [Geoff Thorpe] + + *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when + testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is + produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt". + [Geoff Thorpe] + *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> |
