The Open Administration Consortium of Catalonia, like all certification service providers, has the obligation to issue its certificates in codes of 2.048 and with SHA256 algorithms from January 1, 2017.
The AOC Consortium, since 2011, has issued its certificates in 2048 keys and since October 1, 2015 the device and application certificates, as well as the intermediate certification bodies, are already made using algorithms of SHA2.
In the coming months and until January 2017 we will be working to provide the personal certificates with SHA2 algorithms.
We provide you with one new certificate package with this new algorithm. It is very important that you are testing with these new certificates because they have found incompatibilities especially with outdated operating systems. You can check the compatibility tables what we have done
Certificates generated with SHA1 will remain valid until they expire.
If you have any questions, you can contact ours Customer Service Center.
