Hi All, I am somewhat of a newbie to openssl, so apologize in advance for my ignorance :-)
I have openssl version 0.9.8g on my custom Linux 2.6.27 distro. I need to make sure that SHA-2 (specifically SHA-256 algorithm) is supported with this version of openssl. The sha-256 algorithm will be used during IPSec link establishment, Certificates Verification, and for general TLS/SSL Cipher suites. >From the quick online reading, I am getting mixed messages of whether sha-2 algorithms (specifically sha-256) is truly supported or not ?!? Supposedly things might still be hard-coded to sha-1 even when sha-2 algorithms are 'supported' ?... 1. Would you kindly clarify if openssl version 0.9.8g does infact meet my needs ? That is, does it in fact support sha-256 to be used in IPSec, Certificate verification, and general TLS/SSL. 2. If 0.9.8g is not adequate, what version of openssl does infact support my needs described above ? Thanks soo much in advance. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
