	    Relax decoding of certificates to so that "harmless"
	    third party encoding errors may be accepted but not

	    acceptance of using an incorrect three character country
	    code, the PKIX standard use two character country codes.
	    It is also accepted that the country code is utf8 encoded
	    but the specification says it should be ASCII.</p>

	    There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which lists

	    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>

	    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>
