- Version update to 1.71
* Defects Fixed
- In line with GPG the PGP API now attempts to preserve
comments containing non-ascii UTF8 characters.
- An accidental partial dependency on Java 1.7 has been removed
from the TLS API.
- JcaPKIXIdentityBuilder would fail to process File objects
correctly. This is now fixed.
- Some byte[] parameters to the CMP API were not being
defensively cloned to prevent accidental changes. Extra
defensive cloning has been added.
- CMS primitives would sometimes convert ASN.1 definite-length
encodings into indefinite-length encodings. The primitives
will now try and preserve the original encoding where possible.
- CMSSignedData.getAttributeCertificates() now properly
restricts the tag values checked to just 1 (the obsolete
v1 tag) and 2 (for the more current v2 certificates).
- BCJSSE now tries to validate a custom KeyManager selection
in order to catch errors around a key manager ignoring
key type early.
- Compressed streams in PGP ending with zero length partial
packets could cause failure on parsing the OpenPGP API.
This has been fixed.
- The fallback mode for JceAsymmetricKeyWrapper/Unwrapper
would lose track of any algorithm parameters generated
in the initial attempt. The algorithm parameters are now
propagated.
- An accidental regression introduced by a fix for another
issue in PKIXCertPathReviewer around use of the
AuthorityKeyIdentifier extension and it failing to match
a certificate uniquely when the serial number field
is missing has been fixed.
- An error was found in the creation of TLS 1.3 Export Keying
Material which could cause compatibility issues. This has
been fixed.

certificates will now have the incorrect attributes filtered
out, rather than the duplicate causing an exception.

find that some classes need recompiling. Apologies for the
inconvenience.
- Version update to 1.69
* Defects Fixed
- Lightweight and JCA conversion of Ed25519 keys in the PGP API
could drop the leading byte as it was zero. This has been
fixed.

could cause parsing failure. This has been fixed.
- ESTService could fail for some valid Content-Type headers.
This has been fixed.

value of the parameters in the key's SubjectPublicKeyInfo.
- ContentType on encapsulated data was not been passed through
correctly for authenticated and enveloped data. This has been
fixed.
- NTRUEncryptionParameters and
NTRUEncryptionKeyGenerationParameters were not correctly
cloning the contained message digest. This has been fixed.
- CertificateFactory.generateCertificates()/generateCRLs()
would throw an exception if extra data was found at the end
of a PEM file even if valid objects had been found. Extra
data is now ignored providing at least one object found.

for CRLs with an absent nextUpdate field. This has been
fixed.

follow the latest conventions for the parameters field

mask generation function and digest.
- ECDSA now supports the use of SHAKE128 and SHAKE256.

for retrieving the underlying orginator information.
- PGPSignature now has a getDigestPrefix() method for people
wanting exposure to the signature finger print details.

you need to use BKS-V1 for legacy reasons, it can be
re-enabled by adding: org.bouncycastle.bks.enable_v1=true to
the java.security file. We would be interested in hearing
from anyone that needs to do this.
- PLAIN-ECDSA now supports the SHA3 digests.
- Some highlevel support for RFC 4998 ERS has been added for
ArchiveTimeStamp and EvidenceRecord. The new classes are in
the org.bouncycastle.tsp.ers package.

* Notes
- There is a small API change in the PKIX package to the
DigestAlgorithmIdentifierFinder interface as a find() method
that takes an ASN1ObjectIdentifier has been added to it. For
people wishing to extend their own implementations, see
DefaultDigestAlgorithmIdentifierFinder for a sample
implementation.
- A version of the bcmail API supporting Jakarta Mail has now
been added (see bcjmail jar).
- Some work has been done on moving out code that does not need
to be in the provider jar. This has reduced the size of the
provider jar and should also make it easier for developers to
patch the classes involved as they no longer need to be
signed. bcpkix and bctls are both dependent on the new bcutil
jar.
- Add build dependencies on
mvn(jakarta.activation:jakarta.activation-api) and
mvn(jakarta.mail:jakarta.mail-api)

PublicKeyKeyEncryptionMethodGenerator to allow turning off of session key
obfuscation (default is on, method primarily to get around early version
GPG issues with AES-128 keys)
- Implemented 'safegcd' constant-time modular inversion (as well as a
variable-time variant). It has replaced Fermat inversion in all our EC
code, and BigInteger.modInverse in several other places, particularly
signers. This improves side-channel protection, and also gives a
significant performance boost

where the N and S strings produced encoded data that was block aligned.
