UFIT has begun working internally on our plan to rapidly address the large number of certificates that we are responsible for – all hosted websites, managed enterprise applications, and other centrally-provided campus services that use SSL (mail systems, etc). Google’s decision to aggressively deprecate SHA-1 affects every UF service provider who is using certificates issued by InCommon.
Windows and Internet Explorer, newer versions of Mac OS X, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Java and Adobe Acrobat/Reader all support SHA-2. For more information on how Google will begin deprecating SHA-1 certificates in Chrome visit this article. This effects all certificates issued via UF’s InCommon certificate program.Īs you may have heard, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox Web browsers will discontinue the ability to use HTTPS/SSL certificates created with SHA-1 encryption and instead will require the use of SHA-2 secure hash. Google has announced that they will deprecate SHA-1 encrypted SSL certificates in Chrome beginning November 2014.
