SHA-1 and Google Chrome: 20 November 2014
On 18 November Google released Chrome 39 which will now result in users visiting web services secured with SHA-1 certificates that expire in 2017 being shown a grey padlock with a yellow warning triangle, instead of the usual recognisable green padlock.
Availability of SHA-256 certificates: 14 October 2014
We’re pleased to announce an agreement has been reached between TERENA and Comodo which will enable customers to obtain SHA-256 certificates. This is available with immediate effect and all certificates obtained from the service will be by default SHA-256.

If you have been affected by the OpenSSL bug, dubbed ‘heartbleed’ and need to replace SSL certificates as a result of this vulnerability, we are happy to replace the certificate credit used to obtain the replacement certificate. Registered authorised users should first obtain the new SSL certificate in the usual way from their Janet Certificate Service account using the following link: https://community.ja.net/apps/janet-certificate-service.
