In the nearest future all trusted certificates within the industry will be signed with the SHA-2 signature algorithm only, as the certificates signed with SHA-1 are considered to be vulnerable. The full transition to SHA-2 is already applied to the certificates we offer. It is time to check whether the software you are using is compatible with SHA-2. The new and updated versions of the software are released by vendors to satisfy the new security standards.
Below we provided the list of the SHA-2 compatible servers, browsers and Operating Systems.
We used various sources for the list creation, but we cannot guarantee that all the data provided below is accurate. It is highly recommended to research your software solely or to inquire into the matter directly with your vendors before SHA-2 signature algorithm certificates implementation.
