      Right now all our web sites use SHA-1-based certificates from Gandi. Those are being gradually deprecated in favor of SHA-2. Chrome will start showing warnings over the next few months for any site using a SHA-1 certificate that expires in 2017. Probably something similar will happen with other browsers.

      Gandi now allows use of SHA-2 for certificates, so we should switch to that. More info:

      As a side note, there are a couple of other issues present (POODLE and other nasty stuff):
