Yes. The old algorithm was computed over the raw encoding the a DN using MD5 this meant equivalent DNs with different encodings wouldn't work and special exceptions had to be made for FIPS140-2 mode. The new version uses an canonical encoding of the DN using SHA1 instead. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. OpenSSL project core developer.
