- No longer accept MD2, MD5, and SHA1 as signature algorithms when
verification is requested. MD2 and MD5 are outright dangerous at
this point, and SHA1 should no longer be very relevant as web
browsers already force CAs for several years to no longer issue any
SHA1 certs anymore.
Acceptable signature algorithms are however configurable via
SSL.Context now, in case support of older/insecure algorithms is
vehemently required by an application.
