() calculates an SHA1(3) hash of the DER-encoded form of name. It is for example used by X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir(3) to locate certificate files in the file system.

() and () are wrappers to calculate this hash of the issuer or subject name of x, respectively.

(), (), and () are variants that use MD5 instead of SHA-1.

These functions return the hash value or 0 if an error occurs.

X509_subject_name_hash() first appeared in SSLeay 0.4.0, X509_issuer_name_hash() in SSLeay 0.5.1, and X509_NAME_hash() in SSLeay 0.8.0. They were switched to hashing the DER representation of the name rather than an ASCII rendering in SSLeay 0.9.0 and have all been available since OpenBSD 2.4.

They were switched to using SHA1 instead of MD5 in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and in OpenBSD 4.9.

X509_NAME_hash_old(), X509_issuer_name_hash_old(), and X509_subject_name_hash_old() first appeared in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and have been available since OpenBSD 4.9.
