ChenXi resolved KNOX-3118.
--------------------------
Resolution: Done
> Upgrade Knox SSL Self-Signed Certificate from SHA-1 to SHA-256
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KNOX-3118
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-3118
> Project: Apache Knox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: ChenXi
> Priority: Major
> Labels: security
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> SHA-1, currently used in Knox's current SSL certificates, is
> cryptographically broken. Proven collision attacks (e.g., SHAttered attack in
> 2017) allow malicious actors to forge certificates, exposing Knox to
> man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
> Major browsers (Chrome, Firefox) and operating systems deprecated SHA-1
> support by 2017, leading to trust warnings for SHA-1-based certificates.
> Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the default self-signing algorithm of
> knox from SHA1 to the more secure SHA2(e.g. SHA256).
