RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition 4.1.4 Release Notes
• Apple iOS platform no longer provides libraries for ARMv7S. If you were using
ARMv7S, update your build configurations to use ARMv7 libraries instead.
• An Installation Guide is no longer included in the documentation suite.
Installation instructions are now incorporated into the Get Started with
Crypto-C ME section of the RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition Developers
Guide.
Deprecated Functionality
With this release of Crypto-C ME some elements of functionality are deprecated.
While these deprecated entities are still available and can still be used, RSA
recommends that alternatives be used. These deprecated entities will be removed in a
later release of the product.
ECC parameter generation support is deprecated and will be removed in a future
release. RSA recommends using the tested and secure named curve parameters, such
as
R_PKEY_EC_NAMED_CURVE_PRIME256V1.
For more information about these deprecated entities, including links to equivalent
functionality, see Deprecated List in the RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition
Developers Guide.
Important: The National Institute for Standards and Technologies (NIST) has
published an Update to Current Use and Deprecation of TDEA, announcing
their intention to deprecate the 3-key variant of Triple-DES, and disallow it
for use in TLS and other protocols. NIST is developing a draft deprecation
timeline for the 3-key variant of TDEA including a sunset date, and
recommends migration to AES as soon as possible.
RSA recommends caution when using Triple-DES.
