Package: chromium Version: 37.0.2062.120-2 Severity: minor Chromium ships with ECC certificates[0], but when viewing the Certificate Signature Algorithm or Subject Public Key Algorithm fields, they are displayed as OIDs. Presumably Chromium knows how to handle these algorithms to perform cryptographic operations, so it should be also able to display the algorithms in an appropriate human-readable form. The user would probably be interested to know that the more secure SHA-384 hash algorithm is used here instead of, say, SHA-1.
Please consider adding this type of human-readable output.
