There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which lists
size-generator-modulus triples. The purpose is to give
servers the possibility to select the crypto primes
randomly among a list of pregenerated triples. This
reduces the risk for some attacks on diffie-hellman
negotiation.</p>
<p>
See the reference manual for public_key:dh_gex_group/4
where the handling of this is described.</p>
<p>
The ssh server (ssh:daemon) uses this.</p>

public_key: Remove legacy switch compact_bit_string</p>
<p>
E.i bitstrings will not be decode as {Unused, Binary},
they are now Erlang bitstrings.</p>
<p>
Also the compact_bit_string implies the
legacy_erlang_types switch So removing the switch will
also make OCTET STRING values be represented as binaries.</p>
<p>
Undecoded open type will now be wrapped in a
asn1_OPENTYPE tuple.</p>
<p>
This will change some values in records returned by the
public_key API making this change a potentiall
incompatibility.</p>

that are somtimes used instead of the PKCS defined oids
1.2.840.113549.1.1.5 and 1.2.840.10040.4.3. Add function
pkix_sign_types:/1 that translates oids to to algorithm

Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas
Schultz </p>
<p>
In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher
suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve
infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.</p>
<p>
This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to
gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP
applications using crypto has been updated to use the new
API.</p>
<p>
Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers
equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other
public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in
savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational
cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained
environments.</p>

Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key
application for all public key handling. This is also a
first step for enabling a callback API for supplying
public keys and handling keys protected with password
phrases. </p>
<p>
Additionally the test suites where improved so that they
do not copy the users keys to test server directories as
this is a security liability. Also ipv6 and file access
issues found in the process has been fixed.</p>
<p>
This change also solves OTP-7677 and OTP-7235</p>

ssh-functions.</p>
