This document describes the changes made to the Crypto application.

Crypto 3.0 + +
Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas + Schultz

+

+ 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.

+

+ 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.

+

+ 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.

+ Fixed a spelling mistake in crypto docs. Thanks to Klaus + Trainer

+
+ + +
Known Bugs and Problems + + +

+ Make the crypto functions interruptible by chunking input + when it is very large and bumping reductions in the nifs.

+

+ Not yet implemented for block_encrypt|decrypt/4

+

+ Impact: Individual calls to crypto functions may take + longer time but over all system performance should + improve as crypto calls will not become throughput + bottlenecks.
