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.

See the reference manual for public_key:dh_gex_group/4 where the handling of this is described.

The ssh server (ssh:daemon) uses this.

Document enhancements

Own Id: OTP-12986

public_key: Remove legacy switch compact_bit_string

E.i bitstrings will not be decode as {Unused, Binary}, they are now Erlang bitstrings.

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.

Undecoded open type will now be wrapped in a asn1_OPENTYPE tuple.

This will change some values in records returned by the public_key API making this change a potentiall incompatibility.

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.

Optimize RSA private key handling in crypto and public_key.

Own Id: OTP-10065

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.

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.

This change also solves OTP-7677 and OTP-7235

This changes also involves some updates to public_keys ssh-functions.
