Hi Openssl Developers,
Since openssl 1.0.0 a new subject hash is used, i.e. the output of the
openssl x509 -subject_hash ...
has changed. The old one was quite easy to decipher and commonly known
(part of the MD5 hash of the bin form of the subject name). Now AFAIU
MD5 has been changed do SHA1, but it seems that there are also other
modifications (some normalization? or?).
Is it possible to get a precise information how openssl generate the
the aforementioned subject hash? I can try to infer it from source of
course, but having an algorithm description would be of great help.
I was trying to find some information on the topic but no luck. The
reason for the question is that in Java software I need to support
openssl-like certificates trust store.
Thanks and best regards,
Krzysztof
