Hi, I am trying to generate ecdsa signed certificate with sha-2 but facing issues (via cli). openssl uses sha-1 as default hashing algorithm and does not recognize sha-2 algorithms. I even tried with md5 but no success. I am using 0.9.8k version. Below are the steps I am following. Can someone please shed some light on this... Is it a known bug ? Is it fixed in 1.0.0 beta version ?
1. Generating curve parameters openssl ecparam -out ec_param.pem -name prime256v1 -genkey 2) Generate certificate (self signed) openssl req -new -x509 -key ec_param.pem -sha256 -out testcert123.pem After this when I display cert it still shows sha-1. How do I use sha-2 algorithm. I also tried it with md5 but still it always uses sha-1 for hashing Can you please let me know how do I specify sha-2 for hashing Thanks, Kunal
