<p>This document describes the changes made to the Crypto application.</p>
+<section><title>Crypto 3.3</title>

+ <section><title>Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions</title>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix memory leaks and invalid deallocations in
+ <c>mod_pow</c>, <c>mod_exp</c> and
+ <c>generate_key(srp,...)</c> when bad arguments are
+ passed. (Thanks to Florian Zumbiehi)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11550</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Correction of the word 'ChipherText' throughout the
+ documentation (Thanks to Andrew Tunnell-Jones)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11609</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix fatal bug when using a hmac context variable in more
+ than one call to <c>hmac_update</c> or <c>hmac_final</c>.
+ The reuse of hmac contexts has never worked as the
+ underlying OpenSSL implementation does not support it. It
+ is now documented as having undefined behaviour, but it
+ does not crash or corrupt the VM anymore.</p>

+ <p>
+ Crypto handles out-of-memory with a controlled abort
+ instead of crash/corruption. (Thanks to Florian Zumbiehi)</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11725</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the
+ following applications: </p>
+ <p>
+ <c>asn1, common_test, compiler, crypto, debugger,
+ dialyzer, edoc, eldap, erl_docgen, et, eunit, gs, hipe,
+ inets, observer, odbc, os_mon, otp_mibs, parsetools,
+ percept, public_key, reltool, runtime_tools, ssh,
+ syntax_tools, test_server, tools, typer, webtool, wx,
+ xmerl</c></p>
+ <p>
+ A new test utility for testing appup files is added to
+ test_server. This is now used by most applications in
+ OTP.</p>

+ <p>
+ By giving --enable-static-{nifs,drivers} to configure it
+ is now possible to statically linking of nifs and drivers
+ to the main Erlang VM binary. At the moment only the asn1
+ and crypto nifs of the Erlang/OTP nifs and drivers have
+ been prepared to be statically linked. For more details
+ see the Installation Guide in the System documentation.</p>

+ <p>
+ Add IGE mode for AES cipher in crypto (Thanks to Yura
+ Beznos).</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-11522</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Moved elliptic curve definition from the crypto
+ NIF/OpenSSL into Erlang code, adds the RFC-5639 brainpool
+ curves and makes TLS use them (RFC-7027).</p>
+ <p>
+ Thanks to Andreas Schultz</p>

+ Own Id: OTP-11578</p>

+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Remove all obsolete application processes from crypto and
+ make it into a pure library application.</p>
