40.0.0 - 2023-03-24 

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: As announced in the 39.0.0 changelog, the way cryptography links OpenSSL has changed. This only impacts users who build cryptography from source (i.e., not from a wheel ), and specify their own version of OpenSSL. For those users, the CFLAGS , LDFLAGS , INCLUDE , LIB , and CRYPTOGRAPHY_SUPPRESS_LINK_FLAGS environment variables are no longer valid. Instead, users need to configure their builds as documented here .

• Support for Python 3.6 is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

• Deprecated the current minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) of 1.48.0. In the next release we will raise MSRV to 1.56.0. Users with the latest pip will typically get a wheel and not need Rust installed, but check Installation for documentation on installing a newer rustc if required.

• Added a check to NameConstraints to ensure that DNSName constraints do not contain any * wildcards.

• Removed many unused CFFI OpenSSL bindings. This will not impact you unless you are using cryptography to directly invoke OpenSSL’s C API. Note that these have never been considered a stable, supported, public API by cryptography , this note is included as a courtesy.

• The X.509 builder classes now raise UnsupportedAlgorithm instead of ValueError if an unsupported hash algorithm is passed.

• Added public union type aliases for type hinting:

  • Asymmetric types: PublicKeyTypes , PrivateKeyTypes , CertificatePublicKeyTypes , CertificateIssuerPublicKeyTypes , CertificateIssuerPrivateKeyTypes .

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed the encode_point and from_encoded_point methods on EllipticCurvePublicNumbers , which had been deprecated for several years. public_bytes() and from_encoded_point() should be used instead.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for using MD5 or SHA1 in CertificateBuilder , other X.509 builders, and PKCS7 has been removed.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for macOS 10.10 and 10.11, macOS users must upgrade to 10.12 or newer.

• ANNOUNCEMENT: The next version of cryptography (40.0) will change the way we link OpenSSL. This will only impact users who build cryptography from source (i.e., not from a wheel ), and specify their own version of OpenSSL. For those users, the CFLAGS , LDFLAGS , INCLUDE , LIB , and CRYPTOGRAPHY_SUPPRESS_LINK_FLAGS environment variables will no longer be respected. Instead, users will need to configure their builds as documented here .

• Added support for disabling the legacy provider in OpenSSL 3.0.x .

• Added support for disabling RSA key validation checks when loading RSA keys via load_pem_private_key() , load_der_private_key() , and private_key() . This speeds up key loading but is unsafe if you are loading potentially attacker supplied keys.

• Significantly improved performance for ChaCha20Poly1305 when repeatedly calling encrypt or decrypt with the same key.

• Added support for creating OCSP requests with precomputed hashes using add_certificate_by_hash() .

• Removed several legacy symbols from our OpenSSL bindings. Users of pyOpenSSL versions older than 22.0 will need to upgrade.

• Added AES128 and AES256 classes. These classes do not replace AES (which allows all AES key lengths), but are intended for applications where developers want to be explicit about key length.

37.0.4 - 2022-07-05 

• Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.5.

37.0.3 - 2022-06-21 (YANKED) 

Attention

37.0.2 - 2022-05-03 

• Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.3.

• Added a constant needed for an upcoming pyOpenSSL release.

37.0.1 - 2022-04-27 

• Fixed an issue where parsing an encrypted private key with the public loader functions would hang waiting for console input on OpenSSL 3.0.x rather than raising an error.

• Restored some legacy symbols for older pyOpenSSL users. These will be removed again in the future, so pyOpenSSL users should still upgrade to the latest version of that package when they upgrade cryptography .

37.0.0 - 2022-04-26 

• Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.2.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for LibreSSL 2.9.x and 3.0.x. The new minimum LibreSSL version is 3.1+.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed signer and verifier methods from the public key and private key classes. These methods were originally deprecated in version 2.0, but had an extended deprecation timeline due to usage. Any remaining users should transition to sign and verify .

• Deprecated OpenSSL 1.1.0 support. OpenSSL 1.1.0 is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. The next release of cryptography will be the last to support compiling with OpenSSL 1.1.0.

• Deprecated Python 3.6 support. Python 3.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team. Support for Python 3.6 will be removed in a future cryptography release.

• Deprecated the current minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) of 1.41.0. In the next release we will raise MSRV to 1.48.0. Users with the latest pip will typically get a wheel and not need Rust installed, but check Installation for documentation on installing a newer rustc if required.

• Deprecated CAST5 , SEED , IDEA , and Blowfish because they are legacy algorithms with extremely low usage. These will be removed in a future version of cryptography .

• Added limited support for distinguished names containing a bit string.

• We now ship universal2 wheels on macOS, which contain both arm64 and x86_64 architectures. Users on macOS should upgrade to the latest pip to ensure they can use this wheel, although we will continue to ship x86_64 specific wheels for now to ease the transition.

• This will be the final release for which we ship manylinux2010 wheels. Going forward the minimum supported manylinux ABI for our wheels will be manylinux2014 . The vast majority of users will continue to receive manylinux wheels provided they have an up to date pip . For PyPy wheels this release already requires manylinux2014 for compatibility with binaries distributed by upstream.

• Added support for multiple OCSPSingleResponse in a OCSPResponse .

• Restored support for signing certificates and other structures in X.509 with SHA3 hash algorithms.

• TripleDES is disabled in FIPS mode.

• Added support for serialization of PKCS#12 CA friendly names/aliases in serialize_key_and_certificates()

• Added support for 12-15 byte (96 to 120 bit) nonces to AESOCB3 . This class previously supported only 12 byte (96 bit).

• Added DIGEST_LENGTH to PSS . This constant will set the salt length to the same length as the PSS hash algorithm.

• Added support for loading RSA-PSS key types with load_pem_private_key() and load_der_private_key() . This functionality is limited to OpenSSL 1.1.1e+ and loads the key as a normal RSA private key, discarding the PSS constraint information.

36.0.2 - 2022-03-15 

• Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1n.

36.0.1 - 2021-12-14 

• Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1m.

36.0.0 - 2021-11-21 

• FINAL DEPRECATION Support for verifier and signer on our asymmetric key classes was deprecated in version 2.0. These functions had an extended deprecation due to usage, however the next version of cryptography will drop support. Users should migrate to sign and verify .

• The entire X.509 layer is now written in Rust. This allows alternate asymmetric key implementations that can support cloud key management services or hardware security modules provided they implement the necessary interface (for example: EllipticCurvePrivateKey ).

• Deprecated the backend argument for all functions.

• Added support for AESOCB3 .

• Added support for iterating over arbitrary request attributes .

• Deprecated the get_attribute_for_oid method on CertificateSigningRequest in favor of get_attribute_for_oid() on the new Attributes object.

• Fixed handling of PEM files to allow loading when certificate and key are in the same file.

• Fixed parsing of CertificatePolicies extensions containing legacy BMPString values in their explicitText .

• Allow parsing of negative serial numbers in certificates. Negative serial numbers are prohibited by RFC 5280 so a deprecation warning will be raised whenever they are encountered. A future version of cryptography will drop support for parsing them.

• Added support for parsing PKCS12 files with friendly names for all certificates with load_pkcs12() , which will return an object of type PKCS12KeyAndCertificates .

• rfc4514_string() and related methods now have an optional attr_name_overrides parameter to supply custom OID to name mappings, which can be used to match vendor-specific extensions.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Reverted the nonstandard formatting of email address fields as E in rfc4514_string() methods from version 35.0.

  The previous behavior can be restored with: name.rfc4514_string({NameOID.EMAIL_ADDRESS: "E"})

• Allow X25519PublicKey and X448PublicKey to be used as public keys when parsing certificates or creating them with CertificateBuilder . These key types must be signed with a different signing algorithm as X25519 and X448 do not support signing.

• Extension values can now be serialized to a DER byte string by calling public_bytes() .

• Added experimental support for compiling against BoringSSL. As BoringSSL does not commit to a stable API, cryptography tests against the latest commit only. Please note that several features are not available when building against BoringSSL.

• Parsing CertificateSigningRequest from DER and PEM now, for a limited time period, allows the Extension critical field to be incorrectly encoded. See the issue for complete details. This will be reverted in a future cryptography release.

• When OCSPNonce are parsed and generated their value is now correctly wrapped in an ASN.1 OCTET STRING . This conforms to RFC 6960 but conflicts with the original behavior specified in RFC 2560 . For a temporary period for backwards compatibility, we will also parse values that are encoded as specified in RFC 2560 but this behavior will be removed in a future release.

35.0.0 - 2021-09-29 

• Changed the version scheme . This will result in us incrementing the major version more frequently, but does not change our existing backwards compatibility policy.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The X.509 PEM parsers now require that the PEM string passed have PEM delimiters of the correct type. For example, parsing a private key PEM concatenated with a certificate PEM will no longer be accepted by the PEM certificate parser.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The X.509 certificate parser no longer allows negative serial numbers. RFC 5280 has always prohibited these.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Additional forms of invalid ASN.1 found during X.509 parsing will raise an error on initial parse rather than when the malformed field is accessed.

• Rust is now required for building cryptography , the CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST environment variable is no longer respected.

• Parsers for X.509 no longer use OpenSSL and have been rewritten in Rust. This should be backwards compatible (modulo the items listed above) and improve both security and performance.

• Added support for OpenSSL 3.0.0 as a compilation target.

• Added support for SM3 and SM4 , when using OpenSSL 1.1.1. These algorithms are provided for compatibility in regions where they may be required, and are not generally recommended.

• We now ship manylinux_2_24 and musllinux_1_1 wheels, in addition to our manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 wheels. Users on distributions like Alpine Linux should ensure they upgrade to the latest pip to correctly receive wheels.

• Added rfc4514_attribute_name attribute to x509.NameAttribute .

• Added KBKDFCMAC .

3.4.4 - 2021-02-09 

• Added a py.typed file so that mypy will know to use our type annotations.

• Fixed an import cycle that could be triggered by certain import sequences.

3.4.3 - 2021-02-08 

• Specify our supported Rust version (>=1.45.0) in our setup.py so users on older versions will get a clear error message.

3.4.2 - 2021-02-08 

• Improvements to make the rust transition a bit easier. This includes some better error messages and small dependency fixes. If you experience installation problems Be sure to update pip first, then check the FAQ .

3.4.1 - 2021-02-07 

• Fixed a circular import issue.

• Added additional debug output to assist users seeing installation errors due to outdated pip or missing rustc .

3.4 - 2021-02-07 

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for Python 2 has been removed.

• We now ship manylinux2014 wheels and no longer ship manylinux1 wheels. Users should upgrade to the latest pip to ensure this doesn’t cause issues downloading wheels on their platform.

• cryptography now incorporates Rust code. Users building cryptography themselves will need to have the Rust toolchain installed. Users who use an officially produced wheel will not need to make any changes. The minimum supported Rust version is 1.45.0.

• cryptography now has PEP 484 type hints on nearly all of of its public APIs. Users can begin using them to type check their code with mypy .

3.3.2 - 2021-02-07 

• SECURITY ISSUE: Fixed a bug where certain sequences of update() calls when symmetrically encrypting very large payloads (>2GB) could result in an integer overflow, leading to buffer overflows. CVE-2020-36242 Update: This fix is a workaround for CVE-2021-23840 in OpenSSL, fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1j.

3.3.1 - 2020-12-09 

• Re-added a legacy symbol causing problems for older pyOpenSSL users.

3.3 - 2020-12-08 

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for Python 3.5 has been removed due to low usage and maintenance burden.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The GCM and AESGCM now require 64-bit to 1024-bit (8 byte to 128 byte) initialization vectors. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that will no longer support sizes outside this window.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: When deserializing asymmetric keys we now raise ValueError rather than UnsupportedAlgorithm when an unsupported cipher is used. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that will no longer distinguish between error types.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: We no longer allow loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

• Updated Windows, macOS, and manylinux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1i.

• Python 2 support is deprecated in cryptography . This is the last release that will support Python 2.

• Added the recover_data_from_signature() function to RSAPublicKey for recovering the signed data from an RSA signature.

1.0.2 - 2015-09-27 

• SECURITY ISSUE : The OpenSSL backend prior to 1.0.2 made extensive use of assertions to check response codes where our tests could not trigger a failure. However, when Python is run with -O these asserts are optimized away. If a user ran Python with this flag and got an invalid response code this could result in undefined behavior or worse. Accordingly, all response checks from the OpenSSL backend have been converted from assert to a true function call. Credit Emilia Käsper (Google Security Team) for the report.

1.0.1 - 2015-09-05 
