I changed the default_md to sha512 in the configuration file and the generated pem file shows Signature Algorithm: sha512WithRSAEncryption Client and server are still able to communicate. ( Server uses the new pem file and the client uses an old pem file with md5 ). So I guess that works f

So if I want to use SHA-2 in my certificates, how do I choose on from the available SHA-2 family? The only thing I see in the config file we use is default_md = md5 and the generated pem file has the following entry: Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption Which SHA-2 family can I use?

I am only a end user and not familiar with SSL internal. If I understand the replies correctly, OpenSSL 1.0.x currently supports SHA-2 in certificates but not in the cipher suites used in network communication protocol. Is that a correct statement? Alex On Aug 9, 2010, at 6:44 AM, Jakob Bohm
