OpenSSL versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f have a severe memory handling bug in their implementation of the TLS Heartbeat Extension that could be used to reveal up to 64 KB of the application's memory with every heartbeat [75] [76] (CVE-2014-0160).
Several versions of the TLS protocol exist. SSL 2.0 is a deprecated [27] protocol version with significant weaknesses. SSL 3.0 (1996) and TLS 1.0 (1999) are successors with two weaknesses in CBC-padding that were explained in 2001 by Serge Vaudenay. [28]
LibreSSL is an open-source implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. The implementation is named after Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the deprecated predecessor of TLS, for which support was removed in release 2.3.0.
LibreSSL: a fork of OpenSSL by OpenBSD project. MatrixSSL: a dual licensed implementation; Mbed TLS (previously PolarSSL): A tiny SSL library implementation for embedded devices that is designed for ease of use; Network Security Services: FIPS 140 validated open source library; OpenSSL: a free implementation (BSD license with some extensions)
In cryptography, X.509 is an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standard defining the format of public key certificates. [1] X.509 certificates are used in many Internet protocols, including TLS/SSL, which is the basis for HTTPS, [2] the secure protocol for browsing the web.
In 2011, one of the RFC's authors, Robin Seggelmann, then a Ph.D. student at the Fachhochschule Münster, implemented the Heartbeat Extension for OpenSSL. Following Seggelmann's request to put the result of his work into OpenSSL, [ 20 ] [ 21 ] [ 22 ] his change was reviewed by Stephen N. Henson, one of OpenSSL's four core developers.
This is used for update or service pack information. Sometimes referred to as "point releases" or minor versions. The technical difference between version and update will be different for certain vendors and products.
FOSS stands for "Free and Open Source Software". There is no one universally agreed-upon definition of FOSS software and various groups maintain approved lists of licenses. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is one such organization keeping a list of open-source licenses. [1] The Free Software Foundation (FSF) maintains a list of what it ...
