Hi, Does anyone know why using the req -new option from the same private key, twice does not generate a unique CSR?
As an example: I have an existing private key. I then generate a CSR from it. Openssl req -new -key privakey.key -out csr.txt I then generate another CSR from the private key and use identical DN information. I can understand why the exponents and modules are the same.. because they are using the same private key, however why does the cipher text look the same? Isn't it suppose to be random? I have trying to find the answer at http://www.openssl.org/docs/ but cannot.. Basically, I'd like to know what is responsible for the cipher text output? and can it be randomized each time without changing the DN levels.
