PayPal security update
If you use the PayPal payment system on your site, you have certainly been informed by PayPal to stop using the root certificate VeriSign G2 and perform an update to support certificates using SHA-256 algorithm. No changes have to be made either in TOWeb nor your site since it is only a security upgrade that needs to be performed on your web server.
