Guidance for Supporting SHA-2 Signed Assertions

In August 2014, InCommon released Migrating to SHA-2 to help certified campuses support SHA-2 signed assertions.

In June 2014, InCommon Steering approved the (now expired) "Alternative Means for Bronze and Silver Requirement to Discontinue SHA-1 Encryption for SAML Assertions" to ease the transition for Identity Provider Operators that had been certified by the InCommon Assurance Program or were wishing to apply for certification by January 15, 2015.
