Hello,

   When creating hash named certificate files for CA's and such
("openssl x509 -hash -in ca.crt -inform der -noout"), is the
algorithm/seed standardized in SSL in any way?

   I've encountered a product which has SSL in its title which produces
hashes which aren't the same as those created by OpenSSL, and it caught
me slightly off-guard -- I had simply assumed that any product called
"SSL"-something will produce the same result for a certificate.

   Is the hash-naming convention something which historically was simply
ad-hoc'd, and it is - at best - a defacto-standard?

Kind regards,
Jan Danielsson
