-
Default encryption cipher for the
req
,cms
, andsmime
applications
changed fromdes-ede3-cbc
toaes-256-cbc
. -
The default TLS supported groups list has been changed to include and
prefer hybrid PQC KEM groups. Some practically unused groups were removed
from the default list. -
The default TLS keyshares have been changed to offer X25519MLKEM768 and
and X25519. -
All
BIO_meth_get_*()
functions were deprecated.
This release adds the following new features:
-
Support for server side QUIC (RFC 9000)
-
Support for 3rd party QUIC stacks including 0-RTT support
-
Support for PQC algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA)
-
A new configuration option
no-tls-deprecated-ec
to disable support for
TLS groups deprecated in RFC8422 -
A new configuration option
enable-fips-jitter
to make the FIPS provider
to use theJITTER
seed source -
Support for central key generation in CMP
-
Support added for opaque symmetric key objects (EVP_SKEY)
-
Support for multiple TLS keyshares and improved TLS key establishment group
configurability -
API support for pipelining in provided cipher algorithms
Known issues in 3.5.0
- #27282
Calling SSL_accept on objects returned from SSL_accept_connection
results in error. It is expected that making this call will advance
the SSL handshake for the passed connection, but currently it does not.
This can be handled by calling SSL_do_handshake instead. A fix is planned
for OpenSSL 3.5.1
