Title: Replace SHA-1 CSR checksum algorithm by SHA-2

At the date of this commit, all major browsers editors have announced to
drop support for SHA-1 certificate signing before 2017.

Microsoft[1] announced in November 2013 that they will drop their
support in January 2016.

At the same time, a bug was opened on Mozilla's bugzilla to drop support
in January 2017.[2]

In September 2014, Google[3] announced an aggressive deprecation of
SHA-1. SHA-1 signed certificate will be displayed to the user as
"insecure" starting from the first quarter of 2015.
