Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2
+ *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
+ padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
+ #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
+ OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
+ foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
+ against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
+ [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
+ Ben Laurie]
+
*) Updates to the new SSL compression code
[Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
