Changed "Beginning in 2015"
"Beginning in 2015" is not the correct term, it's "Beginning with Visual Studio 2015", since it's the product (and not the year) what forces to use SHA256 encryption

If you want to secure your extension and make sure it hasn't been tampered with, you can add a digital signature to a VSIX package. When a VSIX is signed, the VSIX installer will display a message indicating that it is signed, plus more information about the signature itself. If the contents of the VSIX have been modified, and the VSIX has not been signed again, the VSIX installer will show that the signature is not valid. The installation is not stopped, but the user is warned.
