Package: tinyca
Version: 0.7.5-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Microsoft released a SHA1 Deprecation Policy[1]. Example:

"For SSL certificates, Windows will stop accepting SHA1 end-entity certificates
by 1 January 2017. This means any time valid SHA1 SSL certificates must be
replaced with a SHA2 equivalent by 1 January 2017."

Google also deprecates SHA1 end-entity certificates within Chrome[2]:

- "All SHA-1-using certificates that are valid AFTER 2017/1/1 are treated
insecure, but without an interstitial. That is, they will receive a degraded UI
indicator, but users will NOT be directed to click through an error page."
- "Additionally, the mixed content blocker will be taught to treat these as
mixed content, which WILL require a user action to interact with."
- "All SHA-1-using certificates that are valid AFTER 2016/1/1 are treated as
insecure, but without an interstitial. They will receive a degraded UI
indicator, but will NOT be treated as mixed content."

TinyCA has no SHA2 support. So, does TinyCA become deprecated as well?

Kind regards,
Aiko Barz
