I'm curious about what's going on here, as you say this is a private PKI, so
why do they need certs from a public CA?  Presumably Worldpay is doing this
for B2B comms, so why don't they issue their own certs, and they can keep
using SHA-1 for as long as required?  It seems like Worldpay's mistake wasn't
failing to update SHA-1 only devices, it was using a public CA for a private
PKI.
