About this tag
The SHA-2 tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's transition from the SHA-1 hashing algorithm to the more secure SHA-2 standard. Discussions include the deprecation of SHA-1 for SSL/TLS certificates in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11, which began blocking SHA-1 certificates in 2017. Also covered are updates that added SHA-2 code signing support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, as these older systems did not natively support SHA-2. Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and later versions already included SHA-2 support. The tag reflects Microsoft's efforts to enhance security by phasing out SHA-1 and ensuring compatibility with SHA-2 across Windows platforms.

Authenticity and the November 2013 Security Updates
If you haven't had a chance to see the movie Gravity, I highly recommend you take the time to check it out. The plot moves a bit slowly at times, but director Alfonso Cuaron's work portrayal of zero gravity is worth the ticket price alone. Add in stellar acting and you end up with an epic movie...- News
