Hi folks! I'm a newbie and I'd like understand know a thing:

I create a certificate and put it to my apache web server

openssl req -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout apache.key -out
apache.crt

everything works perfectly.

The question: using firefox I see:

Techinical Details
Connection encrypted: high-grade encryption (aes-256, 256 bit keys)

Why aes256, 256 bit keys if my certificate is rsa:4096?

thanks!
