Fixed an issue where parsing an encrypted private key with the public loader functions would hang waiting for console input on OpenSSL 3.0.x rather than raising an error.
Restored some legacy symbols for older pyOpenSSL users. These will be removed again in the future, so pyOpenSSL users should still upgrade to the latest version of that package when they upgrade cryptography.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for LibreSSL 2.9.x and 3.0.x. The new minimum LibreSSL version is 3.1+.
Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.2.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for LibreSSL 2.9.x and 3.0.x. The new minimum LibreSSL version is 3.1+.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed signer and verifier methods from the public key and private key classes. These methods were originally deprecated in version 2.0, but had an extended deprecation timeline due to usage. Any remaining users should transition to sign and verify.
Deprecated OpenSSL 1.1.0 support. OpenSSL 1.1.0 is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. The next release of cryptography will be the last to support compiling with OpenSSL 1.1.0.
Deprecated Python 3.6 support. Python 3.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team. Support for Python 3.6 will be removed in a future cryptography release.
Deprecated the current minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) of 1.41.0. In the next release we will raise MSRV to 1.48.0. Users with the latest pip will typically get a wheel and not need Rust installed, but check /installation for documentation on installing a newer rustc if required.
Deprecated CAST5, SEED, IDEA, and Blowfish because they are legacy algorithms with extremely low usage. These will be removed in a future version of cryptography.
Added limited support for distinguished names containing a bit string.
We now ship universal2 wheels on macOS, which contain both arm64 and x86_64 architectures. Users on macOS should upgrade to the latest pip to ensure they can use this wheel, although we will continue to ship x86_64 specific wheels for now to ease the transition.
This will be the final release for which we ship manylinux2010 wheels. Going forward the minimum supported manylinux ABI for our wheels will be manylinux2014. The vast majority of users will continue to receive manylinux wheels provided they have an up to date pip. For PyPy wheels this release already requires manylinux2014 for compatibility with binaries distributed by upstream.
Added support for multiple ~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPSingleResponse in a ~cryptography.x509.ocsp.OCSPResponse.
Restored support for signing certificates and other structures in /x509/index with SHA3 hash algorithms.
~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.algorithms.TripleDES is disabled in FIPS mode.
Added support for serialization of PKCS#12 CA friendly names/aliases in ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs12.serialize_key_and_certificates
Added support for 12-15 byte (96 to 120 bit) nonces to ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESOCB3. This class previously supported only 12 byte (96 bit).
Added support for ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESSIV when using OpenSSL 3.0.0+.
Added support for serializing PKCS7 structures from a list of certificates with ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs7.serialize_certificates.
Added support for parsing 4514 strings with ~cryptography.x509.Name.from_rfc4514_string.
Added ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.padding.PSS.AUTO to ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.padding.PSS. This can be used to verify a signature where the salt length is not already known.
Added ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.padding.PSS.DIGEST_LENGTH to ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.padding.PSS. This constant will set the salt length to the same length as the PSS hash algorithm.
Added support for loading RSA-PSS key types with ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_pem_private_key and ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_der_private_key. This functionality is limited to OpenSSL 1.1.1e+ and loads the key as a normal RSA private key, discarding the PSS constraint information.
Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1n.
Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1n.
Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1m.
Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1m.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Reverted the nonstandard formatting of email address fields as E in ~cryptography.x509.Name.rfc4514_string methods from versio…
FINAL DEPRECATION Support for verifier and signer on our asymmetric key classes was deprecated in version 2.0. These functions had an extended deprecation due to usage, however the next version of cryptography will drop support. Users should migrate to sign and verify.
The entire /x509/index layer is now written in Rust. This allows alternate asymmetric key implementations that can support cloud key management services or hardware security modules provided they implement the necessary interface (for example: ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ec.EllipticCurvePrivateKey).
Deprecated the backend argument for all functions.
Added support for ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESOCB3.
Added support for iterating over arbitrary request ~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest.attributes.
Deprecated the get_attribute_for_oid method on ~cryptography.x509.CertificateSigningRequest in favor of ~cryptography.x509.Attributes.get_attribute_for_oid on the new ~cryptography.x509.Attributes object.
Fixed handling of PEM files to allow loading when certificate and key are in the same file.
Fixed parsing of ~cryptography.x509.CertificatePolicies extensions containing legacy BMPString values in their explicitText.
Allow parsing of negative serial numbers in certificates. Negative serial numbers are prohibited by 5280 so a deprecation warning will be raised whenever they are encountered. A future version of cryptography will drop support for parsing them.
Added support for parsing PKCS12 files with friendly names for all certificates with ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs12.load_pkcs12, which will return an object of type ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs12.PKCS12KeyAndCertificates.
~cryptography.x509.Name.rfc4514_string and related methods now have an optional attr_name_overrides parameter to supply custom OID to name mappings, which can be used to match vendor-specific extensions.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Reverted the nonstandard formatting of email address fields as E in ~cryptography.x509.Name.rfc4514_string methods from version 35.0.
The previous behavior can be restored with: name.rfc4514_string({NameOID.EMAIL_ADDRESS: "E"})
Allow ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.x25519.X25519PublicKey and ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.x448.X448PublicKey to be used as public keys when parsing certificates or creating them with ~cryptography.x509.CertificateBuilder. These key types must be signed with a different signing algorithm as X25519 and X448 do not support signing.
Extension values can now be serialized to a DER byte string by calling ~cryptography.x509.ExtensionType.public_bytes.
Added experimental support for compiling against BoringSSL. As BoringSSL does not commit to a stable API, cryptography tests against the latest commit only. Please note that several features are not available when building against BoringSSL.
Parsing CertificateSigningRequest from DER and PEM now, for a limited time period, allows the Extension critical field to be incorrectly encoded. See the issue for complete details. This will be reverted in a future cryptography release.
When ~cryptography.x509.OCSPNonce are parsed and generated their value is now correctly wrapped in an ASN.1 OCTET STRING. This conforms to 6960 but conflicts with the original behavior specified in 2560. For a temporary period for backwards compatibility, we will also parse values that are encoded as specified in 2560 but this behavior will be removed in a future release.

Changed the version scheme. This will result in us incrementing the major version more frequently, but does not change our existing backwards compatibility policy.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The /x509/index PEM parsers now require that the PEM string passed have PEM delimiters of the correct type. For example, parsing a private key PEM concatenated with a certificate PEM will no longer be accepted by the PEM certificate parser.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The X.509 certificate parser no longer allows negative serial numbers. 5280 has always prohibited these.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Additional forms of invalid ASN.1 found during /x509/index parsing will raise an error on initial parse rather than when the malformed field is accessed.
Rust is now required for building cryptography, the CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST environment variable is no longer respected.
Parsers for /x509/index no longer use OpenSSL and have been rewritten in Rust. This should be backwards compatible (modulo the items listed above) and improve both security and performance.
Added support for OpenSSL 3.0.0 as a compilation target.
Added support for ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.SM3 and ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.algorithms.SM4, when using OpenSSL 1.1.1. These algorithms are provided for compatibility in regions where they may be required, and are not generally recommended.
We now ship manylinux_2_24 and musllinux_1_1 wheels, in addition to our manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 wheels. Users on distributions like Alpine Linux should ensure they upgrade to the latest pip to correctly receive wheels.
Added rfc4514_attribute_name attribute to x509.NameAttribute.

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for Python 2 has been removed.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for Python 2 has been removed.
We now ship manylinux2014 wheels and no longer ship manylinux1 wheels. Users should upgrade to the latest pip to ensure this doesn't cause issues downloading wheels on their platform.
cryptography now incorporates Rust code. Users building cryptography themselves will need to have the Rust toolchain installed. Users who use an officially produced wheel will not need to make any changes. The minimum supported Rust version is 1.45.0.
cryptography now has 484 type hints on nearly all of of its public APIs. Users can begin using them to type check their code with mypy.

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for Python 3.5 has been removed due to low usage and maintenance burden.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for Python 3.5 has been removed due to low usage and maintenance burden.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.modes.GCM and ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.AESGCM now require 64-bit to 1024-bit (8 byte to 128 byte) initialization vectors. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that will no longer support sizes outside this window.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: When deserializing asymmetric keys we now raise ValueError rather than UnsupportedAlgorithm when an unsupported cipher is used. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that will no longer distinguish between error types.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: We no longer allow loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.
Updated Windows, macOS, and manylinux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1i.
Python 2 support is deprecated in cryptography. This is the last release that will support Python 2.
Added the ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPublicKey.recover_data_from_signature function to ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.RSAPublicKey for recovering the signed data from an RSA signature.
Disable blinding on RSA public keys to address an error with some versions of OpenSSL.
Disable blinding on RSA public keys to address an error with some versions of OpenSSL.
Credit to Hubert Kario for reporting the issue. *CVE-2020-25659*
SECURITY ISSUE: Attempted to make RSA PKCS#1v1.5 decryption more constant time, to protect against Bleichenbacher vulnerabilities. Due to limitations imposed by our API, we cannot completely mitigate this vulnerability and a future release will contain a new API which is designed to be resilient to these for contexts where it is required. Credit to Hubert Kario for reporting the issue. CVE-2020-25659

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed support for idna based U-label parsing in various X.509 classes. This support was originally deprecated in version 2.1 and moved to an extra in 2.5.
Deprecated OpenSSL 1.0.2 support. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. The next version of cryptography will drop support for it.
Deprecated support for Python 3.5. This version sees very little use and will be removed in the next release.
backend arguments to functions are no longer required and the default backend will automatically be selected if no backend is provided.
Added initial support for parsing certificates from PKCS7 files with ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs7.load_pem_pkcs7_certificates and ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.pkcs7.load_der_pkcs7_certificates .
Calling update or update_into on ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.CipherContext with data longer than 231 bytes no longer raises an OverflowError. This also resolves the same issue in /fernet.

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed support for passing an ~cryptography.x509.Extension instance to ~cryptography.x509.AuthorityKeyIdentifier.from_issuer_subject_key_identifier, as per our deprecation policy.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Support for LibreSSL 2.7.x, 2.8.x, and 2.9.0 has been removed (2.9.1+ is still supported).
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for macOS 10.9, macOS users must upgrade to 10.10 or newer.
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: RSA ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.rsa.generate_private_key no longer accepts public_exponent values except 65537 and 3 (the latter for legacy purposes).
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: X.509 certificate parsing now enforces that the version field contains a valid value, rather than deferring this check until ~cryptography.x509.Certificate.version is accessed.
Deprecated support for Python 2. At the time there is no time table for actually dropping support, however we strongly encourage all users to upgrade their Python, as Python 2 no longer receives support from the Python core team.
If you have trouble suppressing this warning in tests view the FAQ entry addressing this issue.
Added support for OpenSSH serialization format for ec, ed25519, rsa and dsa private keys: ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_ssh_private_key for loading and ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.PrivateFormat.OpenSSH for writing.
Added support for OpenSSH certificates to ~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.load_ssh_public_key.
