According to Google announcement, from November 2014, Google Chrome will start to cease support to SHA-1 algorithm in upcoming chrome versions-39, 40, and 41. Even Microsoft and Mozilla Firefox have already notified about stopping usage of the SHA-1 algorithm because SHA-1 is susceptible to collision attack.
SHA-1 is a secure hash algorithm was published in 1995, which produces a 160-bit hash value. In 2005, it was found vulnerable to collision attack and hence, deemed as an insecure algorithm, which compels the CA/Browser Forum and NIST to mull over SHA-2 algorithm.
SHA-2 algorithm was introduced in 2001 which includes hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256). It carries major changes from the forerunner SHA-1 algorithm. With SHA-2, the data authenticity remains secure and stable.
From the year 2017, SHA-1 will be replaced with SHA-2 algorithm. The reason behind to do so is less secure with a weak algorithm, also it is deprecated since 2011 according to CA/Browser Forum guidelines. NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also made a publication about to ban SHA-1 algorithm.
If your SSL provider does not move an SSL certificate from SHA-1 to SHA-2, then the browser will show SSL warning in the browser and the user will not be able to connect to the requested page.
If your intermediate certificate needs to be updated, then we have given below some reference as per different CAs.
