Summary
The
Thumbprint
property onX509Certificate2
always uses SHA-1 as the hash algorithm. I added a remark to the property indicating that to get the thumbprint using a different algorithm, such as SHA-256, they should useGetCertHashString
. It is not always obvious to some people that the thumbprint of the cert and its hash are the same thing.
