Summary

Chrome is removing support for signature algorithms using SHA-1 for server
signatures during the TLS handshake. This does not affect SHA-1 support in
server certificates, which was already removed, or in client certificates,
which continues to be supported.

Motivation

SHA1 has known collisions, and while difficult to exploit in practice,
should be avoided. Removing SHA1 support from server signatures removes the
ability for a future attacker to exploit some sort of collision in SHA1 to
impersonate a server. The use of SHA1 in TLS has already been deprecated by
the IETF in RFC 9155. This does not affect client certificates. The
decision of whether or not to accept SHA1 in client certificates can be
made by server operators who have deployed mTLS.
