The SHA-1 algorithm is deprecated (particularly for security-sensitive
applications) in a variety of OS environments. This already affects
RHEL-9 and derivatives, which are not willing to use certificates using
that algorithm. The fix is to use sha256 instead, which is already used
for most of the other certificates in the test suite.
Fixes#10135
This gets rid of issues related to sha1 signatures.
Manual steps after "make clean-certs" and "make build-certs":
- Copy tests/certs/stunnel-sv.pem to tests/stunnel.pem
(make clean-certs does not remove the original tests/stunnel.pem)
- Copy tests/certs/Server-localhost-sv.pubkey-pinned into --pinnedpubkey
options of tests/data/test2041 and tests/data/test2087
Closes#10153
The previous test certificates contained RSA keys of only 1024 bits.
However, RSA claims that 1024-bit RSA keys are likely to become
crackable some time before 2010. The NIST recommends at least 2048-bit
keys for RSA for now.
Better use full 2048 also for testing.
Closes#2973
The certificates were missing the digitalSignature and keyAgreement
usage types, of which at least digitalSignature was checked by CyaSSL.
This caused the test server in test 310 (among others) to fail the
startup verification and therefore run (see
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2014-07/0303.html).
