Thanks for your answer Thomas,
In fact i thought that the serial numbers like 1f 42 28 5f 3c 88 0f 8e 3c 89
b3 84 were a hash of a serial numbers like 1, 2, 3, ... n ... n+1. In this
case there would be no problem of redundancy.

Tony,
the other CAs do not HIDE the serial numbers but they chose it randomly.
So very big integers appear in that field. The disadvantage of this method
is to manage whether a serial number is already issued or not.

Thomas

*Betreff:* [OpenCA-Devel] Certificate serial number
Hi List,
Is it possible with OpenCA to make the certificate serial number not
appear in clear ?
I mean that with OpenCA the certificate serial numbers are : 1, 2, 3, ...
n ... n+1
I would like to "hide" the certificate serial number like lot of CA do,
with a serial number like 1f 42 28 5f 3c 88 0f 8e 3c 89 b3 84 b3 ab 1f 1c
Thanks in advance !
Tony
