WHAT'S IN THIS FILE
NEW FEATURES
- Expanded X.509 certificate support.
X.509 certificate requests can be created for
existing PGP keys. Additionally, existing X.509
certificates can be imported onto a PGP key ring.
The PGPsdk recognizes X.509 certificate revocation
lists (CRLs) and incorporates the revoked certificate
information therein into validity calculations for
imported X.509 certificates.
- X.509 Certificate Authority (CA) support.
The PGPsdk supports performing online certificate
requests and retrievals, CRL retrievals from Network
Associates Net Tools PKI 1.0, VeriSign OnSite PKI 4.0,
and Entrust PKI 4.0 (using the Entrust VPN Connector
4.1).
- X.509 TLS support.
X.509 certificates and certificate chains can now
be used to authenticate a PGP Transport Layer
Security (TLS) session.
- X.509 private key import.
X.509 private keys created with other products (e.g.,
web browsers, etc.) can now be imported into a PGP
keyring using the PKCS #8 or #12 interchange formats.
- Low-level session key support.
The session key used to encrypt a PGP message can
now be retrieved during encryption and a message
can be explicitly encrypted using a given session
key. This feature allows for decrypting a specific
message without explicit knowledge of the passphrase
for the private key if the session key for
the message is known.
- Random pool security enhancement.
Additions to the random pool are bufferred
internally to impede state-following attacks.
- Miscellaneous.
- DSS key sizes are now forced to be multiple of
64 bits as required by the standard.
- The internal limit on the number of outstanding
key sets have been increased approximately five
fold.
New features in Version 1.7.2
- Intel Pentium III Random Number Generator (RNG)
support.
If your computer is equipped with the
Intel RNG, PGP will use the random data generated
by the chip in addition to our own entropy
collection whenever random data is needed for
key generation and encryption. The Intel RNG
is currently only available with select Pentium
III chipsets, including the Intel 810 chipset.
