This is attributed to the sheer volume of certificates that they need to migrate (numbering in the thousands), and their end-of-year blackout period. These customers accept the risk of continuing to use new SHA-1 certificates, and assert that if they can continue to enroll for and receive SHA-1 certificates through 2016 (all with an expiration date of 31 December 2016 or earlier), they will be able to complete the transition by the end of 2016.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>We realize that extending the issuance period will extend the collision attack period.
