 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h  [XX xxx XXXX]
 |

 |

  *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
 | 
			
		||||
     RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations to mitigate the
 | 
			
		||||
     hyper-threading timing attacks pointed out by Colin Percival
 | 
			
		||||
     (http://www.daemonology.net/hyperthreading-considered-harmful/),
 | 
			
		||||
     and potential related attacks.
 | 
			
		||||
     RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
 | 
			
		||||
     squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
 | 
			
		||||
     independent of the particular secret key.  This will mitigate
 | 
			
		||||
     cache-timing and potential related attacks.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
     BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
 | 
			
		||||
     and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
