When an x509 is created using the openssl command it creates a default serial number if one not supplied How is this serial number created (algorithm) in general.
A 64bits random number.
openssl req -x509 etcetera The default serial number is quite long so just using time_t (long) to set the serial number is not very long (four bytes). So I am interested in what it does.
You could also read apps/req.c source code. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
