Windows Enforcement of SHA1 Certificates

Since last few months there has been yellow alert from Microsoft Team on the Enforcement of SHA1 Certificates. Not only Microsoft team but also the other certificate provider and browsers too. Although most of the public SSL has already using SHA2 or we say SHA256, still there might be some private certificate with SHA1. Hence this blog is for the knowledge of details on deprecation of SHA1 certificate. The Enforcement process has been started from Feb 2017. On February 14, 2017, Microsoft will release an update to Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 that will display an Invalid Certificate warning page alerting users that their connection is not secure. Though we do not recommend it, customers have the option to continue to the website.
