At the end of 2016 Microsoft will drop support for SHA-1 certificates, thus we'll need to switch ESL Anticheat to the SHA-2 standard. Later versions of Windows (8.1 & 10) already support SHA-2 per default, however if you're running Windows 7 you will need to have the latest updates installed.
How to enable SHA-2 supportIf you are running Windows 7 you'll need to install the
Microsoft Security Advisory 3033929 to make your system support SHA-2 Code Signing.
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 do not require this update because SHA-2 signing and verification functionality is already included in these operating systems.
You can find a detailed Microsoft timeline for the end of SHA-1 certificate
here.
Although the final switch to SHA-2 will only be done at the end of 2016, we advise you to always have the latest updates for your system installed!
