Why Google is Hurrying the Web to Kill SHA-1
Why SHA-2 instead of RSA 4096 or SHA-256? Even the RSA is compromised but 4096-bit will take a lot more(maybe few more hours) resources to decrypt.

You use a hash function (e.g. SHA256) to make the hash of the page and a signature algorithm (like RSA 4096) to sign it.
