If you go to an https address in Internet Explorer a padlock should appear in the URL line and if you click on this icon there should be a "View certificates" link shortly showing up which will open a "Certificate" dialog box in Windows 7 and let you know some things about the SSL certificate such as the use of sha256RSA for the signature algorithm and sha256 for the Signature hash algorithm perhaps. In security, RSA stands for Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman who founded RSA Security, Inc. which is now RSA Security LLC. SHA is Secure Hash Algorithm.
