Hi ! I read "https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/10/20/continuing-to-phase-out-sha-1-certificates/" article but my question is what about Client authentication certificates that are issued using SHA-1 like Qualified Certificates issued to clients in order to make client authenticated SSL connection and sign/encrypt/decrypt documents? Are they going to be valid and until when ?

hi, as it is mentioned at the end of the article, please post specific questions about sha-1 deprecation at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mozilla.dev.security.policy - the developers involved in that decision will read along there but not here in the support forum. thank you for your understanding!
