Because the SHA-1 signature algorithm has the possibility to become insecure, worldwide CA will no longer issue the SSL certificate using this kind of signature algorithm from the date of January 1^st in 2016. All the websites have already set about upgrading their SSL certificate to SHA-2 signature algorithm. We hereby appeal all the WoSign users to complete the free replacement and upgrade of certificate as soon as possible. This also means that Windows XP sp2, which does not support SHA-2 signature algorithm, has been forced to doom.

The U.S. has applied SSL certificate in all its e-government and e-commerce websites. German comes in second place; the U.K. comes in third and our country ranks 20^th. This shows that very few websites in our country has applied SSL certificate although our total number of websites ranks the first place throughout the world. The proportion of websites that have applied SSL certificate in our country only takes up 0.63% of the globe. Nearly all the e-government websites have not applied SSL certificate. In the case of e-commerce websites, only the large-scale ones have applied. All these have proved that the emphasis on website information security in our country is way behind enough, which leads to frequent leakages of personal information and business confidential secret.

From this, we can also see that the proportion of applying SSL certificate in our country is relatively low.
