==Issue P: Use of SHA-1 To Sign OCSP Responses (Unknown - August 2017)==


PROCERT OCSP responses are signed with SHA-1 and, since they reflect an attacker-controlled serial number, is vulnerable to a chosen prefix attack. This is not formally against documented policy but in the [https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozillacommunications/CACommRespWithTextAndTotalsReport?CommunicationId=a05o000003WrzBC&QuestionId=Q00020&QuestionIdForText=Q00026 April CA Communication], PROCERT affirmed that "SHA-1 certificates are no longer used in the infrastructure related to our root certificates included in Mozilla's CA Certificate Program. (e.g. SHA-1 is no longer used to sign OCSP responses)." This appears not to be true.

(e.g. SHA-1 is no longer used to sign OCSP responses)." They asserted something similar in the [https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozillacommunications/CACommRespWithTextAndTotalsReport?CommunicationId=a05o000000iHdtx&QuestionId=Q00010&QuestionIdForText=Q00011 March 2016 CA Communication]. However, this appears not to be true.
