Public bug reported:

In liberty, initial support for image signature verification was added
to glance (see spec at [1] and patch at [2]).  In this feature, if
certain signature properties are provided when an image is uploaded,
glance will perform verification on the signature.  This includes the
certificate uuid, the hash method, the signature, and the signature
type.

The hash methods supported [3] are only in the SHA-2 family.  SHA-1 is
not included, since it is no longer considered secure.

There are some older platforms which do not support SHA-2 hashes, since
they have an older version of openssl (older than 1.0.1).  When the
test_signature_utils tests are run on such a platform, exceptions [4]
are generated.

The signature_utils class needs to be updated in order to catch these
UnsupportedAlgorithm exceptions, and notify the user that signature
verification cannot be performed due to an out-of-date openssl
installation.

Note that this issue was brought up during a glance drivers meeting [5]
and a glance meeting [6].  It was also further discussed on the
#openstack-glance IRC channel [7].
