[Cryptography] sunsetting SHA-1 in Chrome

[Alexander Klimov]

<http://blog.chromium.org/2014/09/gradually-sunsetting-sha-1.html>

 Chrome will start the process of sunsetting SHA-1 (as used in 
 certificate signatures for HTTPS) with Chrome 39 in November. HTTPS 
 sites whose certificate chains use SHA-1 and are valid past 1 January 
 2017 will no longer appear to be fully trustworthy in Chrome’s user 
 interface.

Of course, there will be a conspiracy theory explaining why SHA-2, 
designed by NSA in 2001, is better than SHA-1, designed (and fixed) 
by NSA in 1993 and 1995.
