Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) V2.4
                       for OpenVMS
                      Release Notes
        ---------------------------------------------

 o Before you can use CDSA after installing, or upgrading to a new version,
   the following one-time manual procedure must have been run (SYSPRV
   privilege required):

        $ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$UPGRADE

   If you're upgrading to OpenVMS V8.3 and above, this procedure is automatically run
   for you.  If you're installing the CDSA kit on earlier versions of
   OpenVMS, you must run the procedure manually.

   If you run the CDSA upgrade procedure when it has been run before, you
   will receive the following message:

        CDSA has previously been initialized on this system.
        Re-initializing CDSA.

   There is no danger in running the procedure multiple times.  It will
   merely refresh the information in the CDSA databases.

 o Please refer to the following book in the OpenVMS documentation set
   for additional information:
    - Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 1: Common Data Security
      Architecture

New Features in CDSA V2.4
-------------------------
o Version 0.9.8H of the OpenSSL crypto routines.

New Features in CDSA V2.2
-------------------------
 o Full support for Secure Delivery, a mechanism used to produce and
   validate digital signatures for PCSI kits to be installed on OpenVMS.

 o Version 0.9.7E of the OpenSSL crypto routines.



New features in CDSA V2.1
-------------------------
 o The ability to use CDSA$SIGN.EXE to create manifests for generic files,
   rather than just executable files.

 o CDSA$VALIDATE.EXE, which allows checking a generic manifest against the
   file for which it was created.  Also available is the new routine
   CDSA_FileValidate, which can be called programmatically to perform the
   same function.

 o Version 0.9.7D of the OpenSSL crypto routines.
