937 by several software packages and are more secure than the standard
938 form
939 o PKCS#5 v2.0 implementation
940 o Password callbacks have a new void * argument for application data
941 o Avoid various memory leaks
942 o New pipe-like BIO that allows using the SSL library when actual I/O
943 must be handled by the application (BIO pair)
944

951 o Thawte SXNet, certificate policies and CRL distribution points
952 extension support
953 o Preliminary (experimental) S/MIME support
954 o Support for ASN.1 UTF8String and VisibleString
955 o Full integration of PKCS#12 code
