  • OpenSSL A.00.09.07l in the /opt/openssl/0.9.7 directory

The default version of OpenSSL enabled in HP-UX 11i v3 is OpenSSL A.00.09.08d. A toggle script switchversion.sh is available in /opt/openssl. Use this script to change the default version of OpenSSL between OpenSSL A.00.09.08d and OpenSSL A.00.09.07l.

Summary of Change

What’s New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005?

OpenSSL A.00.09.08d (default version of OpenSSL on HP-UX 11i v3) supports the following hardware ENGINES: 4758cca, aep, atalla, chil, cswift, gmp, nuron, sureware, and ubsec.

This version of OpenSSL also supports elliptic curve cryptography. Following are the public key elliptic curve cryptography protocols supported by OpenSSL A.00.09.08d:

  • Elliptic Curve Crypto (ECC)

  • Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol

  • Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)

NOTE: Only OpenSSL A.00.09.08d (the default version of OpenSSL on HP-UX 11i v3) has hardware ENGINE support libraries and elliptic curve cryptography. If you change the default version of OpenSSL, the openssl A.00.09.08d command line features will not be available. However, there is support for OpenSSL A.00.09.08d libraries.

OpenSSL A.00.09.07l and OpenSSL A .00.09.08d support X.509 and X.509v3 certificates.

OpenSSL A.00.09.07l and OpenSSL A.00.09.08d also contain a few defect fixes. For more information on these defect fixes, see the Release Notes at http://docs.hp.com and the OpenSSL Changelog at http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html
