pyOpenSSL 20.0.1

Python wrapper module around the OpenSSL library

Note: The Python Cryptographic Authority strongly suggests the use of pyca/cryptography where possible. If you are using pyOpenSSL for anything other than making a TLS connection you should move to cryptography and drop your pyOpenSSL dependency.

High-level wrapper around a subset of the OpenSSL library. Includes

• SSL.Connection objects, wrapping the methods of Python’s portable sockets

• Callbacks written in Python

• Extensive error-handling mechanism, mirroring OpenSSL’s error codes

… and much more.

You can find more information in the documentation. Development takes place on GitHub.

Release Information

20.0.1 (2020-12-15)

Backward-incompatible changes:

Deprecations:

Changes:

• Fixed compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.0.

20.0.0 (2020-11-27)

Backward-incompatible changes:

• The minimum cryptography version is now 3.2.

• Remove deprecated OpenSSL.tsafe module.

• Removed deprecated OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_advertise_callback, OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_select_callback, and OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_next_proto_negotiated.

• Drop support for Python 3.4

• Drop support for OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2

Deprecations:

• Deprecated OpenSSL.crypto.loads_pkcs7 and OpenSSL.crypto.loads_pkcs12.

Changes:

• Added a new optional chain parameter to OpenSSL.crypto.X509StoreContext() where additional untrusted certificates can be specified to help chain building. #948

• Added OpenSSL.crypto.X509Store.load_locations to set trusted certificate file bundles and/or directories for verification. #943

• Added Context.set_keylog_callback to log key material. #910

• Added OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_verified_chain to retrieve the verified certificate chain of the peer. #894.

• Make verification callback optional in Context.set_verify. If omitted, OpenSSL’s default verification is used. #933

• Fixed a bug that could truncate or cause a zero-length key error due to a null byte in private key passphrase in OpenSSL.crypto.load_privatekey and OpenSSL.crypto.dump_privatekey. #947

19.1.0 (2019-11-18)

Backward-incompatible changes:

• Removed deprecated ContextType, ConnectionType, PKeyType, X509NameType, X509ReqType, X509Type, X509StoreType, CRLType, PKCS7Type, PKCS12Type, and NetscapeSPKIType aliases. Use the classes without the Type suffix instead. #814

• The minimum cryptography version is now 2.8 due to issues on macOS with a transitive dependency. #875

Deprecations:

• Deprecated OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_advertise_callback, OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_select_callback, and OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_next_proto_negotiated. ALPN should be used instead. #820

Changes:

• Support bytearray in SSL.Connection.send() by using cffi’s from_buffer. #852

• The OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_alpn_select_callback can return a new NO_OVERLAPPING_PROTOCOLS sentinel value to allow a TLS handshake to complete without an application protocol.
